The historical Huizhou Prefecture has a long history of cultural inheritance of family traditions and family education，which proves to be academically valuable to the discussion of excellent traditional culture，and its connection and innovative transformation for modern and contemporary social governance. This research，focusing on the inheritance of family traditions and family education in the new era along with existing problems，selects villagers from 6 counties of the historical Huizhou Prefecture as investigation subjects，adopts empirical investigation to gather a considerable amount of empirical data，and conducts comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analyses. The results show that the contemporary cultural inheritance of family traditions and family education in the historical Huizhou Prefecture is still rigorous，and excellent family traditions have significantly exerted positive influences on the development of righteous character of individual family members，the promotion of family harmony and democratic practice，and the improvement of rural grassroots democracy and social governance. However，inheritance of family traditions and family education in the historical Huizhou Prefecture still faces actual dilemmas such as stagnating upgrading of mentality，cognitive deviances between government and people，monotonous mode of inheritance，inadequate means of inheritance，instrumentalization of substance and direction of inheritance. The research proposes corresponding policy designs and governance revelations from multiple dimensions and perspectives such as mentality，institution，platform，technology，personnel and mechanism.
