Abstract: Targeted poverty alleviation is based on the assistance system in villages at the national level. It is closely embedded in the grassroots governance structure, and has become an important part of rural poverty governance in the new era. However, in the process of selecting village carders by the country in embedded poverty alleviation, the human investment devoted to the precise poverty alleviation has fallen into the formalism dilemma. Through the analysis of 20 typical cases of formalism in rural poverty alleviation, it is found that formalism runs through every link of embedded assistance, showing the practical characteristics of exquisite implementation and strategic execution. In the context of government entrusted governance, formalism is not only the passive action of the village cadres responding to assessment and supervision under the pressure system, but also the active action under the misplaced view of performance. Therefore, we need to explore the path of precise governance by constructing the scientific assessment system, improving the supervision and accountability system, and shaping the practical culture.

Key words: formalism, targeted poverty alleviation, embedded assistance, village cadres
