description Abstract This study aims to grasp the process of modernization in rural China during a period of social transformation that saw the overlapping of Communism and Modernism.

The analysis of the concept and planning method of Weixing commune clearly indicates that, when facing the task of designing the commune in the 1950s under the communist ideology, the design group tried to adapt the concept of modern urban planning from the west.
