建国初期,全国农村的基层行政组织是乡。山西是革命老区,建国前除建立有太行、太岳、晋察冀、晋绥等革命根据地外,还有阎锡山统治区,农村的基层行政组织较为复杂。在各革命根据地内,一般的基层行政组织形式是以自然村为主的行政村,而在阎锡山统治区,基本上是实行编村的形式。 In the early days after the founding of New China, the grass-roots administrative organizations in rural areas throughout the country were townships. Shanxi is an old revolutionary base. Before the founding of the PRC, there were revolutionary bases such as Taihang, Taiyue, Jinchaji and Jin Sui as well as the Yan Xishan ruled areas and the grassroots administrative organizations in rural areas. In each revolutionary base area, the general form of administrative organization at the grassroots level is an administrative village dominated by natural villages. In the area controlled by Yan Xishan, the village is basically a village.
