在清康熙年間的魯中山區，作為國家代表的地方官以"六諭""上諭十六條"為依據積極推行鄉約。與此同時，士紳階層在其家鄉的建設活動更為頻繁，而且有將禮儀在鄉間閭里進行推廣的趨勢。士紳階層一方面受禮儀的教化，了解官方的話語;另一方面，除去士大夫的身份，他們又是土生土長的本地人，熟知本鄉的風土人情。因此，他們對禮俗的討論，并非只停留在國家禮儀制度層面，而是多從本地鄉里的實際風俗出發。國家和地方士紳在基層社會的禮俗教化，存在著權利的分享和邊界。二者有所重疊，但彼此又存在著微妙的距離。

In the mountainous areas of Central Shandong in the early Qing Dynasty，local officials actively promoted village rules which were based on the Six Edicts and Sixteen Edicts.At the same time，the local gentry class was more active in the ritual reform in their hometown.The gentry，on one hand，accepted the state’s ritual education and understood the official discourse;on the other hand，besides their scholar-offical identity，they were also native and familiar with local customs.They discussed ritual and custom，not only from etiquette at national level，but also with more concentration on local villages’ customs.There existed a sharing and boundary on the education of ritual and custom between the state and the gentry.They had overlaps as well as some distances to each other.
