Taking the tourism development of village X in county L of Guizhou province as an example, we explore the “operation platform” mechanism of developing village industries by grassroots government and its logic, and view it as the grassroots government’s efforts to maintain a moderate degree of autonomy. In the process of promoting the development of the village industry， the grass-roots government pools resources within the system and cooperates with the village community to jointly build the village into a “platform” that drives participation of all parties in the market， and keeps the platform running stably, increasing the trading volume of the platform as much as possible and taking “platform profits” from it to develop a governance mechanism of “operating the platform”. This governance mechanism enables the grass-roots government to circumvent the constraints of the system-market-society triple structure to a certain extent and maintain its autonomy in economic activities. The “operation platform” is the result of the grassroots government concentrating limited resources to deal with institutional constraints. In the process of promoting the development of the village industry， it responds to the demands of different parties and satisfies self-interest， but it weakens the village governance ability， magnifies the management risks， and increases the institutional burdens.
