Abstract: Rural environmental governance is faced with the plight of insufficient participation of farmers, and it is common to see governments working without public participation. From the environmental governance experience of three provincial beautiful rural demonstration villages in Changde, northwest Hunan province, with the support of local party organizations, the environmental sanitation autonomous organizations can attract rural “active citizens” to take the initiative to assume public responsibilities, and form the “third field” of cooperation between the Party and the people which is the reconstruction of the traditional “dual-track politics” and plays an important role in preventing the excessive bureaucracy of local governance, promoting the interaction between the government and the people improving the efficiency of the people’s independent governance, and stimulating the enthusiasm of the people to participate in public affairs from the source. In the process of rural revitalization, we should expand the third field of benign interaction between the Party and the people, build a platform for public participation of the masses, and construct a good governance model that integrates the country and society.

Key words: the third field, dual-track politics, autonomous governance, environmental governance
