The New Qinghe Experiment/新清河实验

A professional team from Tsinghua University has provided a reference model for grassroots research.

清华大学专业团队，为基层调研提供一份参考范例

In the 1920s and 1930s, sociologists Yang Kaidao and Xu Shilian conducted a rural construction experiment in Qinghe Town, located in the northwestern suburbs of present-day Beijing, which they named the "Qinghe Experiment." In 1937, the Japanese army occupied Beijing, forcing the Qinghe Experiment to be interrupted. In 2014, Professor Li Qiang from the Department of Sociology at Tsinghua University's School of Social Sciences led a research team to conduct sociological community studies in the Qinghe area outside Beijing's North Fifth Ring Road, exploring and experimenting with community governance. This initiative is known as the "New Qinghe Experiment." By immersing itself in the community, the New Qinghe Experiment explores grassroots social governance models with Chinese characteristics, generating a series of valuable theoretical insights from a sociological perspective.

20世纪二三十年代，社会学家杨开道、许仕廉先生在今北京西北郊外清河镇开展了乡村建设实验，命名为"清河实验"。1937年日本军队占领北京，清河实验被迫中断。2014年，清华大学社会科学学院社会学系教授李强，带领清华大学研究团队在北京北五环外的清河地区进行社会学社区研究，探索与实验社区治理，这就是"新清河实验"。新清河实验通过深入社区，探索中国特色的基层社会治理模式，从社会学的学理角度形成了一系列颇有价值的思考。
