Abstract: Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the development of administrative rule of law has not only strongly supported and promoted the overall construction of the rule of law in China, but also promoted the benign operation of society. The re-development of administrative rule of law in our country not only needs to solve a series of specific system and mechanism construction and improvement problems, but also needs to enrich the understanding of the scope of administrative rule of law on the concept level.Compared with the western administrative rule of law, China's administrative rule of law is very rich in category composition. From the horizontal point of view, administrative rule of law includes many aspects and dimensions, such as legislative regulation of administration, judicial review of administration, administrative division of labor and social supervision of administration. From the vertical point of view, the administrative rule of law is a multi-level category including psychology (morality), system and behavior, corresponding to the people-centered administrative concept, sound and excellent administrative legal system and actual restricted administrative activities. In the process of re-recognizing the category of administrative rule of law in our country, we should pay special attention to refining and summarizing the elements of administrative rule of law with Chinese character.
