Rural digital governance is a new governance model combining digital technology and rural governance.The gradual integration of digital technology into rural governance will provide strong support for solving the problems in traditional rural governance and boosting its modern transformation.Taking Zhejiang Province,the leading area of digital rural construction in China,as an example,this paper adopts quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze villagers'technology adoption of rural digital governance products,focusing on the impact of their technology adoption on their political efficacy and political trust.The research found that villagers'technology adoption of rural digital governance products is closely related to their political efficacy and political trust.When they use rural digital governance products for information acquisition and sharing,opinion feedback and communication,and service acquisition and utilization,their sense of political efficacy would be enhanced,and their trust in the government would be promoted.Moreover,it is found that the integration of digital technology into rural governance contributes to the construction of the rural public energy field,enhances the villagers'initiative in self-governance,and promotes their political trust,but at the same time,we should be alert to the emergence and intensification of pointless digital formalities and digital divide.
