From the perspective of embedding theory, this paper discusses the theoretical appropriateness of embedding community-based organizations in grass-roots governance under the framework of existing models such as "two-way embedding", and proposes the path of "multiple embedding" based on the empirical research in Foshan City, Guangdong Province. Based on the empirical study of Foshan City, we proposed the model of "multiple embedding", including the paths of organizational embedding, service embedding, deliberation embedding, cultural embedding and economic embedding.
