Abstract：Since the 1990s, the peoples mediation in China has experienced a change from decline to revival, and especially after 2002, the number of mediation cases kept rising till 2010, the year of peak as well as plateau. On the other hand, this increase was accompanied by a continuous decrease in the number of mediation organizations and personnel and an increase in the rate of mediation by mediators. Such changes were closely related to the development of “refinement” of the peoples mediation in recent years, which mainly includes the refinement of the organizational structure, the communal sinking of dispute resolution, the specialization of dispute resolution techniques and the improvement of the mediation process. The reason for such refinements is the complexity of contradictions and disputes, the change of the peoples demand for dispute resolution, the development of social governance theory and the application of network information technology. The refined development of the mediation work conforms to the requirements of the downshift of governance focus, increases the mediation efficiency, and provides an alternative for the transformation of mediation, but such a mediation system does have limits in its refinements due to the limits in its attribute, value rationality of mediation and marginal effect of resource input.
