Abstract: A complete change of primary-level governance, from a flexible addressing the major concerns to “taking a clear-cut stand” by following the procedures and regulations, on the surface, tells a step towards institutionalization, standardization and civilization. Its deep logic, however, is still a strategic logic that only focuses on technical problems. Such strategism has changed its presentation from the simple and rough flexibility to “invariability”, just a formalistic approach to “take a clear-cut stand”. The reason that lies behind is the unchanged governance structure of shaping strategism, followed by the strengthened accountability resulted from “the inspection extending to the primary-level”. Officials, for avoiding risks and responsibilities, thus have no longer completed the target tasks with flexibility, but dealt with the target tasks through a formalistic approach. To resolve the increasingly serious formalism at the primary-level, incentives for their autonomy should be granted.

Key words: take a clear-cut stand, autonomy, bureaucratic inspection, formalism, the pressure system
