Abstract: Administrative guidance is a new administrative behavior and management mode to adapt to the economic and social development and transformation of government functions. It plays a positive role but may cause administrative counterparts' losses sometimes. As an administrative relief means， administrative guidance with petition relief not only has the theoretical foundation and legal basis， but also conforms to the requirements of the contemporary social management innovation and development. However， in practice， there are some deficiencies in the petition relief of administrative guidance， including the unsmooth channels， the unclear processes as well as the unscientific and nonstandard mechanisms. Therefore， it is suggested that we should smooth the channels for claim expression through information construction and application， take the petition system into the orbit of law ruling， construct the relief system with the coordinated development of petition relief and judicial relief， and constantly promote the administrative guidance to be scientific， legalized and standardized so as to protect the rights of citizens.

Key words: administrative guidance, petition relief, judicial relief
