The existence of folk regulations is reasonable ，because they train villagers consciousness of rules and make up the deficiency of the national law. Owing to the inherent defects ，these regulations avoid and reject the national laws. In the period of the rule of law ，folk regulations should be integrated ，led and restricted by the national law so as to promote folk regulations to self-improve within this context and realize the coordination of international law and folk regulations. Key words ：folk regulations; state law; rationality; conflicts; harmonization; legalization   乡规民约 (乡约)是我国基层社会中在某一特定 中秋考察，乡约渊源于周礼的读法之典，从春秋战 地域、特定人群、特定时间内社会成员共同制订
