Abstract: The attraction and innovation of the research of "project system" lies in the abundance and activeness of its narrative structure and its deep elaboration on daily life practices. The research of process analyses makes up the abstraction and singularity of pure theoretical research effectively. However, the over orientation of "governing the state with projects" leads to researchers' over use and stereotyped application of the phrase and the dogmatic usage eliminates its abundance and diversity. Therefore, in order to realize the researchers' great aspirations, we should make the comparison of multiple research patterns and make reflective critiques instead of ignore the research of relative fields.

Key words: “project system”, “governing the state with projects”, field, boundaries, condition
