Abstract: Fundamental to achieving national security and social stability is to resolve contradictions and disputes at the primary-level and in their initial stages. The “Fengqiao experience” in the new era serves as a guide for addressing such issues. A multi-level coding and category extraction of the national “Fengqiao Experience” under the Grounded Theory have revealed that to cope with the practical pressures arising from new changes in primary-level contradictions and disputes, the adherence to and development of the “Fengqiao experience” in the new era, along with the advancement of primary-level governance modernization, have become the macro policy orientations. The processes of political leadership, system operation, and collaborative governance interact and overlap, with the integration of “human” and “means” elements, synergistically contribute to the construction of a systematic framework and a coordinated mechanism characterized by “leadership, systematization, and high efficiency”. With the institutional mechanisms in place, the resolution of contradictions and disputes requires an adherence to the principle of adapting measures to circumstances. The powerful potential of the Party committees and governments is harnessed to accurately obtain comprehensive information about contradictions and disputes, to tailor dispute resolution strategies, and to precisely allocate interactive dispute resolution conditions, thereby achieving substantial resolution of primary-level contradictions and disputes through an approach of “one case, one strategy” and “one strategy, one allocation”.

Key words: primary-level governance, contradiction and dispute resolution, Fengqiao experience, individualised solutions for sepecific situations
