The breadth and difficulty of the social governance tasks have been intensified layer by layer over the past ten years, posing immediate needs to change the concept, reshape the principal roles, improve the methodology and refine the public services of social governance at grass-roots level. This paper, with data analysis by taking the innovative practices of grass-roots social governance in Chongqing Municipality as the example and incorporating Mohist thoughts “Of the multitude of things none is more valuable than righteousness” and “follow the way and benefit the people” [1], holds that the public services of grass-roots social governance need to be transformed for refinement.
