Abstract: The modernity with many paradoxes makes modern community full of tearing experience with the combination of virtual and real feelings. Meanwhile it puts modern community into the tension between globalization and localization. However, in the community's origins, mechanisms, goals and evaluations, we shouldn't ignore the significant dimension of "human beings", as well as their emotion, which has been underestimated with the overestimation of the use of institutions and technology. This paper puts forward a concept of "community emotional governance", which focuses on the reproduction of community emotion for the coordination among community members. Through optimizing structural emotion, situational emotion and self-related emotion, we can soften the tension between state power and societal power, reconstruct the relationship among community members and strengthen community identity.

Key words: community emotional governance, possibility, path and prospect, challenges and future
