Improving the capacity and system of rural governance using digital technologies is increasingly becoming one of the urgent requirements for rural revitalization. Along with the improved policy support from the governments，increased investment from social capital，the accelerated development of data factor market，and the continuous improvement of digital infrastructure and subject quality，application of digital technologies would provide great opportunities to facilitate the modernization of rural governance. While significant progress has been made in rural digital governance in terms of big data platform application，user-side App promotion and farmers’ engagement，the integration of digital and grid governance，construction of digital credit system，identification of family affluence and economic portrait，there are still many challenges，such as the mismatch between supply and demand of digital technology，low level of integration among digital technology，organization and system，lack of synergy between multiple subjects as well as between online and offline governance，and imperfect governance of data factors. This study concludes with the following policy implications to improve rural governance using digital technologies，such as the improvement of the matching between the supply and demand of digital technologies，the promotion of innovation in digital technology，governance organizations and systems，co-construction，co-governance and sharing by multiple entities，the promotion of integration of online and offline governance，and the optimization of data element governance.
