In 2020, China's poverty alleviation has made decisive achievements, and the regional overall poverty problem and the absolute poverty problem of the rural population in China have been basically solved. But when the national poverty alleviation policy is optimized and adjusted, enhancing the endogenous sustainable development capacity of poverty-stricken areas and households has become the focus of consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation and comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. Livelihood resilience, which focuses specifically on the ability of individuals to withstand external shocks and disturbances with their own capital, is a necessary attribute for achieving sustainable development. However, previous studies paid less attention to the disturbance of social factors and the driving effect of social environmental factors on the construction of livelihood resilience. Using 518 farmer survey data from Shaanxi Province, this paper explores the mechanism by which farmers individual capital affects their livelihood resilience through ICT adoption. Statistical analysis shows that social networks are the most important factor for farmers to resist risks and develop sustainably. The empirical study finds that farmers' individual capital and ICT adoption are important variables in the construction of farmers' livelihood resilience. Specifically, the more individual capital farmers possess, the more likely they are to have higher levels of livelihood resilience. The higher the level of ICT adoption by farmers. the more they tend to have higher levels of livelihood resilience. At the same time, the impact mechanism of farmers' individual capital and ICT adoption on livelihood resilience shows an intermediary effect: individual capital use of digital technology livelihood resilience. In this path. ICT adoption partially mediates the impact of individual capital on the level of livelihood resilience, and the indirect effect of ICT adoption on livelihood resilience is greater than the direct effect, and the results are robust. Further analysis shows that there is no significant gender difference in the impact of farmers' individual capital on livelihood resilience. Compared with previous literature this paper expands on the following aspects: first, the risk factors of most previous studies on livelihood resilience are natural and ecological. In this paper, the risk scenario of livelihood resilience was extended from relatively sudden natural ecology to changes in social factors, and the construction mechanism of livelihood resilience under changes in the social environment was constructed. Second, previous studies on livelihood resilience rarely included the effects of ICT adoption. In this paper, ICT adoption is included in the relationship between farmers' individual capital and livelihood resilience. Third, most previous literature finds that ICT adoption exacerbates the digital divide between urban residents and rural residents. However, this study finds that in the face of risks, digital technology, as an external social construction, also brings about social integration, and ICT adoption essentially plays a role in the redistribution of resources and factors between urban and rural areas and between regions. An important policy implication of this study is that in terms of effectively connecting the achievements of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, the path of individual capital-digital technology-sustainable development should be generally followed, which would improve farmers' livelihood resilience and endogenous sustainable development ability in the face of external risks.

Realizing the common prosperity of farmers and rural areas is the most difficult and heavy task in China, which means that strengthening and innovating rural governance will undertake more goals and tasks to achieve common prosperity. Therefore, it is necessary to build a community of rural governance from the perspective of common prosperity to achieve a high degree of unity between common prosperity and effective governance in rural areas. However, the existing research has rarely taken common prosperity as the breakthrough point and carried out the research on rural governance community from this perspective, especially the research attention on how common prosperity guides and promotes the construction of rural governance community and how the construction of rural governance community can effectively promote common prosperity is not enough. Firstly, this paper analyzes the internal relationship between the realization of common prosperity and the construction of rural governance community, and finds that realizing common prosperity is the basic premise and value orientation in the construction of rural governance community, while the construction of rural governance community is the realization and essential requirement of common prosperity, which shows the internal coupling relationship between the two ways and purposes of mutual realization. Secondly, based on this internal relationship, we can find that the foundation of the internal unity of the Marx's community thought and urban-rural relationship theory is its theoretical origin, the realistic guidance of the internal unity of Xi Jinping's Thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era's common prosperity thought and rural governance thought is its theoretical innovation, and the contemporary sublimation of “Great Harmony” and rural governance thought in Chinese excellent culture is its theoretical foundation. Finally, on its implementation path, we need to strengthen Party building and strengthen the “connotation” and “extension” of coordinating the rural governance community, to develop rural collective economy to build the material foundation of rural governance community, and to improve the rural governance system of “Three Governance Integration” and the governance mechanism of rural governance community. Besides, we need to actively promote urban-rural integration and activate the endogenous motivation of rural governance community. Compared with the previous literature, this paper expands in the following two aspects:first, it combs the internal relationship between the realization of common prosperity and the construction of rural governance community, and clarifies the theoretical premise of in-depth discussion of rural governance community and its construction from a new perspective of common prosperity. Secondly, in the analysis of theoretical logic, it pays attention to the basic principles of Marxism and its combination with China's reality and Chinese excellent traditional culture. Instead of thinking about the governance community in the rural category, it innovatively discusses the rural governance community and its construction from the overall situation of urban-rural integration based on economic relations and the basic trend of rural governance modernization. The research in this paper may enrich and expand the theoretical horizon of the study of rural governance community to a certain extent, reveal the internal relationship between common prosperity and rural governance community, help relevant departments in China to provide ideas and references for policy making in rural governance practice at present, promote rural governance effectively and solidly promote farmers' common prosperity in rural areas.

In the context of the current comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization, rural planning and construction are increasingly inseparable from the rural revitalization of compound talents, but at present, most of the domestic architecture colleges and universities have many problems such as imperfect rural planning curriculum system, less theoretical courses, and insufficient practical links. Taking urban and rural planning major of Anhui Jianzhu University as an example, this paper proposes to cultivate compound rural construction talents by constructing a “five-in-one” curriculum system, that is, a teaching method of “multi-dimensional teaching objectives, multi-dimensional curriculum system, multi-dimensional teaching mode, multiple joint teaching and multi-enterprise assisted education”. It is expected to bring inspiration to the reform of rural planning curriculum system and the cultivation of rural revitalizing talents in other architecture colleges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rural revitalization and healthy China is a major development strategy that China has implemented in recent years, and it is an inev- itable requirement to address the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for a bet- ter life. The development of rural health tourism can enhance the attractiveness of the countryside, promote the revitalization of the countryside, and improve the physical and mental quality of the people, laying a healthy foundation for the realization of a better life. Taking the project of building "100 villages and 100 courtyards" as an example, this paper puts forward the overall strategy, spatial layout, product planning and op- eration management of Jincheng's rural health and wellness tourism industry, and provides more in-depth theoretical and practical exploration for the development of rural health and wellness tourism.

Geographical Indications (GIs) are the characteristic resource base for realizing rural revitalization, and it is particularly important to recognize the progress of research on GIs. We aimed to map domestic geographical indications research knowledge by related literature. Specifically, we obtained 921 research papers on geographical indication studies from 1994-2022 by filtering keywords through core Chinese journals, and then to explore the issuance stage, author institutions, research hotspots, and the evolution of the subject matter by means of CiteSpace V. 6. 1. R3, and then summarized the research insights by combining with literature reading. The statistical analysis of the literature showed that the research on geographical indications developed most rapidly from 2004 to 2011, the cooperative network of authors engaged in research on geographical indications was few and the scale was small, Xianning College was a high-frequency issuer, and Anhui Agricultural Science and Intellectual Property contained the most articles. The research hotspots covered 7 major clustering themes of geographical indications, agricultural products, intellectual property, trademark law, WTO, protection and rural revitalization. Geographical indications first appeared before 2000 and was the only hot topic. Since 2000, the research topics had gradually expanded into five major themes, and these research hotspots were formed between 2000 and 2004. Since 2004, there had rich subject branches but with a short development cycle. Each theme presented different evolution characteristics. Based on the analysis of cluster themes and keywords, it was found that geographical indications product connotation, geographical indications trademark protection, geographical indications and rural revitalization become the frontier hotspots in the field of geographical indications research. Geographical indications research was important to agricultural economic development and rural industrial revitalization. Domestic studies were rich in research results on intellectual property rights, protection mode, economic benefits, brand building and industrialization development of GI products. While considering the sustainable development, it was necessary to examine both the protection and development of geographical indication products from a ‘local’ perspective. Specially, it was important to integrate the strengths of geography and other multidisciplinary fields to promote the sustainable development of geographical indication products.

Rural resource endowment, resource combination mode and its commodification degree affect the construction of rural resilient economic system. This paper explored the hot spots and laws of international rural resource commodification research by using visual and traditional literature reading methods and taking Web of Science core collection literature as data, and finally revealed the enlightenment of this research on the practice of rural transformation and revitalization in China. The study points out that firstly, "Agriculture" is an important content in this field, and "agricultural commercialization" and "rural space commodification" are hot topics. Secondly, Agricultural commercialization mostly describes the transformation process of African agriculture from self-sufficiency to marketization. Input of resource factors such as agricultural products, land, labor, market organization and capital affect output efficiency, while government power is rarely mentioned. Agricultural commercialization is an effective tool for achieving food security and poverty reduction. Thirdly, multi-type rural space commodification emphasizes rural consumption economy, cultural landscape, and other non-material innovative resources, which together with traditional rural resources constitute the "set" of tourism commodities. The influx of capital and government power are key drivers. Space commodification is an effective economic means for western rural revival. Fourthly, from productivism to spatial production theory, it depicts the process of rural change in western developed countries, reflecting the strategic change of rural core resources and the spatial distribution law of resource combination mode under different social stages and productivity levels. Finally, it is believed that the commodification of rural resources promotes the reorganization of local resources, which is the only way for rural revitalization. To promote the commodification of rural resources according to local conditions, it is necessary to fully consider the local economic level and the urban and rural location of the countryside, that is, to develop resources guided by market demand. At the same time, we must give full play to the wisdom functions of the government, especially the grass-roots governments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The 20th National Congress made arrangements to comprehensively promote the rural revitalization strategy, and the academic community has carried out a lot of theoretical research results on the effective connection between poverty alleviation and rural revitalization strategy. However, there is a lack of examination of the effective connection between the two strategies from the special geographical field of the counties that have been lifted out of poverty. Taking Yu’an District of Lu’an City as a research sample, the paper analyzes the problems and gaps in industrial development, human settlement environment, cultural construction, government management and other aspects in the effective connection of the two strategies. It is proposed to promote industrial poverty alleviation and industrial prosperity, promote ecological poverty alleviation and ecological livability, promote cultural poverty alleviation and rural civilization, party building poverty alleviation and scientific governance. Thus, the paper explores the realistic path to promote the effective connection between the county poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rural revitalization strategy is the general policy of China's agricultural and rural development in the new era, and it is also an important way for Inner Mongolia to achieve high-quality development. Inner Mongolia is an important agricultural and animal husbandry region in China, with rich natural resources, known as east forest and west mining, south agriculture and north animal husbandry, but it is also faced with fragile ecological environment, single agricultural and animal husbandry structure, rural population aging and other problems. This paper focuses on the analysis of the relationship between rural revitalization and high-quality development of agriculture and animal husbandry, expounds the key significance of promoting high-quality development of agriculture and animal husbandry in Inner Mongolia under the strategy of rural revitalization, and puts forward specific strategies to provide reference for relevant research [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The implementation of the Rural Revitalization Strategy, which takes the coordinated promotion of industrial prosperity, ecological livability and other aspects as the general requirements, is of great significance to the vast karst rural areas in Southwest China with fragile ecological environment and prominent backward development problems. Reasonable landscape pattern is the basis of Rural Revitalization.Taking the typical karst rocky desertification countryside in Guizhou Province as the study area, 11 landscape pattern indexes were selected from the two scales of type and landscape to study the distribution of landscape types, spatial distribution of landscape fragmentation and spatial distribution of landscape diversity, and explored the characteristics of landscape pattern in the study area. On this basis, combined with the ecological theory and the overall requirements of rural revitalization, this paper put forward the idea of rural landscape optimization in the study area. The results showed that: (1) the landscape types in the study area could be divided into 10 types: paddy field, sloping farmland, forest land, sparse forest land, fruit forest and rocky desertification shrub. Among them, sloping farmland and rocky desertification shrub were the main landscape types, rocky desertification shrub were the dominant landscape type, and the area of roads, water systems and residential areas accounted for a relatively small proportion. (2) In the northwest and southwest of study area, the artificial landscape was mainly distributed, and the degree of landscape fragmentation was high; the rocky desertification landscape in the north of the study area was concentrated and distributed continuously, and the landscape diversity and heterogeneity indexes were low. (3) The rural landscape in the study area was optimized from the perspectives of landscape pattern optimization and industrial structure adjustment. After optimization, a relatively perfect ecological network pattern was formed, and the stability of the ecosystem was improved; the adjustment of planting structure not only improved the complexity of landscape structure and land use value, but also optimized the ecological environment of the study area and creates conditions for the development of rural tourism. The results could provide a theoretical reference for the optimization of rural landscape pattern and Rural Revitalization in karst areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2023, the CPC Central Committee No.1 document proposed to prepare a policy guide for rural revitalization land to respond to the difficult problem of rural industrial development land, all over the country, focusing on rural industrial land, are studying or have issued protection documents before. It has become a social consensus to increase the security and support for rural industrial development land. Through detailed basic investigation and first-hand data analysis, this paper finds that there are problems such as “chaotic planning”, “difficult approval”, “difficult land acquisition” and “difficult land supply” in practice. In particular, in the past, land element security was focused on urban (town) areas, and land policy and land security system have not been completely established in rural areas. The in-depth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy has made the demand for industrial project huge, and the supporting infrastructure land is also difficult to guarantee. However, the variety of industrial land, the function of the complex and the characteristics of tourism specialization make the current policy does not match the development needs, the source of some land indicators cannot be clearly defined, the project approval lacks practical operation path, and the land supply channel is also limited. Therefore, the author thinks that we should start from two aspects: policy innovation and security mechanism construction: The first is to clarify the approval policy of key projects in response to concerns; The second is to improve the planning of supporting policies to protect industrial integration projects and cultural tourism projects; The third is to innovate the whole chain of policy supply to meet the needs of investment subjects. In terms of the construction of guarantee mechanism, first, explore the establishment of project land access mechanism; Second, explore the establishment of differentiated supply management mechanism; Third, we will explore a multi-departmental guarantee mechanism.

With the deepening of the “double carbon” goal in agricultural development, the green development of agriculture has become a concrete practice to accelerate the structural reform of the agricultural supply side and the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. As a big agricultural province, Jiangxi has great potential to promote the green transformation of agriculture, but the green development of agriculture is still in the embryonic stage, and it faces new opportunities and challenges in the new historical period. Based on the investigation of the current situation of agricultural green development in Jiangxi Province, this paper expounds the development process and achievements in agricultural green development system, agricultural resource protection, low-carbon industry construction and other aspects, and analyzes the existing problems and deficiencies in agricultural industry structure, scientific and technological service level, characteristic industry development, green brand building and other aspects. The feasible suggestions for better and faster development of green agriculture were discussed from the optimization of industrial structure, expansion of the scale of operation, improvement of the quality and quantity of agricultural products, strengthening the restoration of ecological function, increasing the introduction of talents, innovation of green development mode and other aspects, in order to provide reference for speeding up the green development of agriculture in Jiangxi and even the whole country.

It is of great significance to study the development of forest and fruit industry in Xinjiang, so as to increase farmers’ income, to promote the development of rural economy and to realize the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Based on the database of China National Knowledge Network, we took the literature of ‘Xinjiang forest and fruit industry’ as the research object, used CiteSpace software to analyze the annual number of publications, research institutions, authors and keywords. The results showed that the number of published papers fluctuated greatly and the number was small, and the number was on the rise in the past two years. The research institutions were mainly concentrated in agricultural colleges and universities, and some were concentrated in scientific research institutions. The team with Emiti Rouzi and Sidikejiang Aifu as the core had the most abundant research achievements, but had not yet formed a stable core group of authors. The research focused on brand construction, development countermeasures, characteristic fruit, fruit products, industry development, mechanization and so on. The future research should strengthen the cooperation between research units and authors, innovate research perspectives, expand research content, promote the integration of multiple disciplines, combine the development of Xinjiang forest and fruit industry with the implementation of rural revitalization strategy, and promote the high-quality development of Xinjiang forest and fruit industry.

It has been five years since the implementation of China's rural revitalization strategy, and there is an urgent need to reconsider the practice of rural revitalization from the logic of the policy system, major tasks, and inner theory. Based on regularity and tendency analysis, this paper intends to re-examine and re-analyze this strategy for the future. The research finds that: ① In terms of the policy logic, the top-level design for rural revitalization has been refined, and the policy's systemic architecture, structure, and key issues are becoming clearer. In terms of its tasks, the focus on key aspects of rural revitalization has become increasingly comprehensive, but there is a need to enhance the accuracy and precision of its application. In theoretical terms, research on rural revitalization is considered to lag behind its practical exploration, requiring further breakthroughs for future development. ② In terms of regular trends, under the background of decreasing agricultural and employment shares, the development of rural industries shows a trend of 'over-expected fission,' such as expanding industrial capacity, rapidly improving efficiency, and accelerating the reshaping of industrial forms. The rural spatial economy and society show the trend of 'categorized transformational development,' rural evolution shows new features, and rural construction shows new dynamics. Urban and rural factor mobility demonstrates a shift in the flow of production factors from unidirectional exclusion to bidirectional synergistic coupling, entering a trend of 'two-way cross-border windows.' The years from 2020 to 2035 are seen as a window of opportunity for breaking the rural-urban dual structure and establishing a comprehensive rural-urban integration development mechanism. ③ To promote rural vitalization, we should adhere to bottom-line thinking and build a strategic bottom-line security system around extreme issues; foster integration thinking and cultivate new vitality for regional coordinated development between urban and rural areas; maintain transformational thinking; explore future paths of rural construction practices; embrace 'window' thinking and seize opportunities for digital and ecological development; and uphold reform thinking and activate endogenous dynamics for rural development.

This paper takes the rural tourism destinations announced by the Ministry of Agricul‐ ture and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China as samples, and uses the methods of nearest neighbor index, kernel density and geographic detector to explore the spatial distribution law and influencing factors of rural tourism destinations in China. The results show that: (1) China's rural tourism destinations exhibit the agglomeration characteristics of "more in the east and less in the west, more in the south and less in the north", and the difference between the east and the west is more significant than that between the north and the south. The agglom‐ eration increased gradually. Except for Xinjiang and Qinghai, the nearest neighbor index values of other provinces and cities were 0. 7 to 1. 2, which tended to be evenly distributed. (2) China's rural tourism destinations form a spatial distribution pattern of "two poles-two axes-multiple cores". Of the five types of rural tourism destinations, the leisure and sightseeing type has the highest proportion (33. 06%); and the type of cultural and folk customs has the lowest proportion (8. 28%). The driving factors for the spatial differentiation of the five types of rural tourism des‐ tinations are quite different, which is closely related to the resource endowment and location characteristics of the villages. (3) The spatial differentiation of rural tourism destinations is the result of the combined effect of factors such as the natural environment of the village, the level of social development, the potential of cultural resources, the level of regional facilities, the level of tourism investment, and the scale of the tourism market. The level of social development and the scale of the tourism market are the dominant factors, with explanatory power of 0. 64, 0. 62; factors such as altitude, hydrological conditions and traffic location have a significant negative correlation with the spatial distribution of rural tourism destinations [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The important feature of resettlement work is that it has a strong policy nature. Under the background of rural revitalization strategy, it is necessary to integrate resettlement work into the requirements of rural revitalization with prosperous industry, livable ecology, civilized rural style, effective governance and rich life. The two complement each other and develop at the same time. Based on the background of rural revitalization and the perspective of rural revitalization, this paper examined the particularity of the resettlement mode of Jiufengshan Pumped Storage Power Station and put forward a new resettlement mode of land acquisition and resettlement of the station of “suitable for relocation + suitable for production + suitable for beauty + suitable for living + civilization”. It is not only conducive to the completion of resettlement tasks, but also promotes the implementation of rural revitalization policy. It can be accumulated case experience for the follow-up large-scale land acquisition and resettlement of pumped storage power station construction projects in Henan Province. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rural tourism is an important content and effective way to implement the rural revitalization strategy, and also an important means to promote the common prosperity of all Chinese people.

With the rapid advancement of China's urbanization, industrialization, and marketization, and the indepth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, the response of the territorial system of humanenvironment interaction in rural areas is intense, and the agricultural industry has shown a diversified development trend. Sorting and summarizing the existing research on domestic agricultural functions is important for promoting sustainable agricultural development in the new era, accelerating agricultural transformation and upgrading, and comprehensively revitalizing rural areas. Domestic scholars attach great importance to agricultural development and the services that the agricultural industry provides to society. Geographers have used their disciplinary advantages and have gradually integrated multidisciplinary theories and methods to conduct numerous studies on the conceptual connotations, theoretical bases, classification systems, measurements and evaluations, spatiotemporal processes, influencing factors, and optimization paths of agricultural functions. The academic circle has initially formed the geographical research paradigm of "theoretical basis-spatial patternevolution process-influence mechanism-optimal regulation." This study reviews the research progress of agricultural function in China from the perspective of geography and draws the following conclusions: 1) Based on the sorting of the definition of agricultural function in China, this paper defines agricultural function as the role or utility of agriculture, that is, the services and responsibilities that the whole agricultural industry chain renders to the whole society at different times and spaces, including providing products, solving employment problems, inheriting culture, maintaining social stability, and providing ecological services. Furthermore, it has comprehensive, cross-sectional, and regional characteristics. 2) The theoretical basis of agricultural function research includes the territorial system of human-environment interaction, agricultural multifunction, agricultural location, and agricultural function stage theories. Geographers can further improve and enrich relevant theories of agricultural functions through continuous research. 3) Considering the contribution and support of agricultural development to regional socioeconomic development and residents' lives, the researchers divided agricultural functions into product supply, economic development, social security, ecological maintenance, cultural leisure, and so on, and the spatial changes and regional characteristics of agricultural functions were further studied using GIS and RS technology and a geographic mathematical model. 4) The development of agricultural functions is affected by regional natural conditions, economic level, science, and technology. Scholars systematically integrate natural, social, economic, and other factors; scientifically diagnose each factor's mode, direction, and intensity of action in different geographical environments; and perform functional zoning and optimization based on the regional geographical environment and main influencing factors, thus promoting the transformation and development of agricultural functions toward specialization and diversification. 5) Based on summarizing the achievements of agricultural function research conducted by domestic scholars, the shortcomings of existing research in fundamental theory, method and data innovation, scale correlation, and multidisciplinary integration are discussed, and the need to improve the theoretical framework system of research in the future to promote multi-factor, multi-scale, and multi-objective systematic research is proposed. In addition, it is necessary to focus on the transforming of agricultural functions, and strengthening the integration of multidisciplinary, big data and new technological means.

The rural revitalization strategy is an important measure put forward by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to solve the issues of agriculture, farmer and rural area and accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. Agriculture-related universities have unique advantages in the implementation of rural revitalization strategy and shoulder important missions. Taking Jilin Agricultural Science and Technology University as an example, the paper puts forward a new organizational model of “five combinations” for agricultural colleges to help implement the rural revitalization strategy, namely “online + offline”, “centralized + decentralized”, “school + enterprise”, “project + achievement”, and “workstation + industrial college”. It can provide reference for agriculture-related universities to serve the strategy of rural revitalization and provide new ideas and methods for rural revitalization and development.
