Space is the location and place of human activities.The practice in the space of Chinese vil-lages is an important part of the local socio-cultural practices,and the production and reconstruction of the village space reflects the interactions between the state’s macro-tradition and the local micro-tradi-tion as well as the fusion between the state’s discourse and the civilians’discourse.This paper gives a case study of a Dong village in Zhaoxing by adopting the anthropological approach to the social space and tries to reveal the relations between the state and the local society.The interference of the state power has resulted in a complicated pattern of interaction between the five clans and the administrative village as a basic unit of the state in terms of their internal orders,producing a multi-spatial form that leads the villagers to new understandings and practice.The space of the local society is relatively sta-ble,whose inner order is frequently practiced in their daily life and functions well.In the contemporary state’s governance,the interference and reform of the local social space by the state power should rely on the internal order of the local society to ensure a favorable interaction between the state and the lo-cal society.%空间是人类活动的场所和地方。村落空间的实践是地域社会历史与文化实践的重要组成部分，村落空间的生产与再造伴随着国家的“大传统”与地域社会的“小传统”之间的互动，国家话语与民间话语之间的夹杂。本文以肇兴侗寨为例，在当代治理视域之中关注人类学的社会空间研究，考察肇兴侗寨社会空间建构过程中国家与民间社会的关系。当代国家权力的介入，使得肇兴侗寨五个房族的民间内部秩序和国家政治细胞的行政村之间呈现复杂的互渗格局，由此形成多重空间形态，形塑着村民的认知与实践。民间社会空间具有较为稳固的结构，民间社会内在的秩序在当地人长期的日常实践中被反复操演并不断发挥作用。在国家治理实践中，国家权力对于民间社会空间的介入和改造应在基于民间内部秩序的基础之上进行，由此才能形成国家与民间社会的良性互动。
