    "Three rural issues" (issues concerning agriculture, rural areas, and farmers) is an important mainline of the CPC's centennial course of party building and China's urban-rural development. In order to solve the "three rural issues" in the New Era and promote the implementation of rural revitalization strategy, we hereby invite ten experts in the research field of "three rural issues" and rural revitalization research to conduct interviews. The interview mainly focuses on three perspectives: Historical process and institutional context, urban-rural system and cross scale space, and the integration of policy theory, technical methods, and rural construction practice. It revolves three main lines: The strategic stage and institutional changes of "three rural issues", the essence of "three rural issues" and the ways to solve new "three rural issues", and the rural revitalization mechanism and rural construction practice. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) The essence, key areas, and institutional mechanism innovation of the "three rural issues" in the context of spatio-temporal processes and institutional contexts. It is necessary to grasp the laws of "three rural" (agriculture, rural areas, and farmers) and diagnose the "three rural issues" from the perspective of urban and rural regional systems and even the global perspective space. The "three rural issues" is an optimization decision-making problem for improving the functions of rural regional systems within the overall framework of urban and rural regional systems. The imbalance in urban-rural development and insufficient rural development are the concentrated reflection of the "three rural issues" in the New Era. The crux of the "three rural issues" lies in the uncoordinated development of "human, land, and industry". The core goal of China's "three rural issues" in the new development stage is to move towards the common prosperity of farmers and rural areas. The corresponding development system and working mechanism of "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers" need to grasp the two "bottom lines", do a good job in the two "connections", and promote the two "integrations" in key areas such as national food security, farmers' livelihood development, modern agriculture and rural development, rural revitalization, and urban-rural integration development. (2) The theory of rural revitalization and the rural spatial planning under the requirements of urban-rural system interaction and people's common prosperity. The research and solution of China's "three rural issues" are rooted in the geographical theory of territorial system theory of human-environment interaction and location theory, the sector economy theory and the economic cycle theory, as well as the theory of development economics, sociological function theory and social conflict theories. In the research practice of the "three rural issues", land use transformation theory, rural reconstruction theory, rural development multi-body and multi-pole theory, interface theory, rural attraction theory, and rural sustainability have also been developed. The urban-rural integrated development and the common prosperity of the people should be the result of balanced regional development and Chinese path to modernization. The folk expression of "making rural life attractive" and the strategic goal of "basically realizing rural modernization by 2035" are mutually "exterior-interior" relationship, which can be comprehensively explained from the following three aspects: The spatio-temporal differences and path differentiation of rural settlement evolution and multi-functional transformation, and the phenomenon explanation of rural gentrification and the theoretical application of rural attraction in the context of urban-rural interaction, as well as the theoretical significance and practical path of rural modernization under the guidance of rural sustainability science. Improving local quality is an inherent requirement to meet the people's needs for a better life, and it is an essential requirement and general law of rural revitalization driven by innovation. As the edge of the national urban-rural system, rural areas face constraints such as segmentation, remoteness, low density, and insufficient heterogeneity dividends in improving local quality. Therefore, to improve local quality of rural areas, it is necessary to adapt to and alleviate the relative inefficiency of rural geography, and its important promotion paths include the characteristic development based on endowment, digital transformation and rural agglomeration centered around cities and towns. Guided by spatial planning and taking into account the integrated functional development of production-living-ecological spaces in rural areas, as well as the integration of urban and rural space through spatial planning, through promoting the quality of living space through comprehensive land improvement, assisting in the realization of multifunctional value in agricultural space through refined management, ensuring the sustainable use of ecological space through systematic protection and restoration, which is a solid foundation for rural revitalization and the construction of a new urban-rural relationship. (3) The path mechanism and technical support for the comprehensive rural revitalization and rural construction under the new needs of ecological civilization construction and governance modernization. Comprehensive rural revitalization requires the revitalization of industries, the reform of land, the development of human well-being, and the intelligent updating of technology. First, the essence of operating rural areas is the rational allocation of resources as the object of factors. It is necessary to integrate the high-quality development of agriculture with the high-quality and livable rural areas, promote the interaction and integration of urban and rural systems, actively link natural science, engineering technology innovation, and institutional innovation from the perspective of the big food concept, and implement food safety and important agricultural product supply security. Second, facing the new demand of rural sustainable development and governance modernization, we should innovate the property right governance integration mechanism of rural land system, especially actively build a rural green development mechanism with farmers' participation and an external benefit sharing mechanism of ecological environment governance. Third, it is urgent to break through the barriers that farmers share the gains from the appreciation of rural assets, fill the gap between small farmers and modern agriculture, and establish a concept of county governance that meets the needs of Chinese path to modernization. Fourth, rural construction is an organic combination of the governance of public spaces by the state and the daily life practices of farmers. Through the theory and technology of "computational" rural areas, effective connection and information sharing between the state and rural areas can be achieved, promoting coordinated development from micro to macro, and from local to whole. And we should achieve the aim of building livable, suitable for work, and beautiful rural areas, through multi-level main body co-construction, co-governance, and management. To sum up, the interview views can provide theoretical reference and decision-making reference for the "three rural issues" work innovation and rural revitalization practice towards Chinese path to modernization.

    The present study uncovers the mechanisms of rural revitalization through Pu'er tea industry using the case of Yiwu, which is an underdeveloped town in Yunnan province. From the perspective of the industry and social economy, this study investigated the process and mechanisms of rural revitalization through Pu'er tea industry in Yiwu. The tea industry in Yiwu emerged in the Qing Dynasty (over 300 hundred years ago) and has experienced three development stages since then: prosperity, decline, and revival. By adopting semi-structured interviews and participant observations, the present study first analyzed different production organization modes and profit distribution modes formed in the process of revitalization of the Pu'er tea industry in Yiwu. This study then summarized the process and mechanisms of rural revitalization through the Pu'er tea industry. Three major findings can be obtained from this study. First, for rural villages with resource endowments, renewable, sustainable, irreplaceable and scarce natural resources are the most fundamental factors of production. For farmers, ownership of such resources can be an important guarantee for their livelihood and income. Second, resource endowment and transaction cost determined what kind of production organization mode and profit distribution mode the industrial subjects chose in a place. In the construction of the production and management system of modern agriculture, more indigenous tea farmers should be supported to build small and medium-sized processing tea factories to produce and process Pu'er tea. In combination with the Pu'er tea culture, local communities can be guided to transform from agriculture-led to the coordinated development of agriculture, processing industry and service industry, to enhance economic and social resilience through diversified industries. Last but not least, when promoting rural revitalization through industrial development, preferential policies should be formulated to clarify farmers' property rights to resources and improve farmers' capabilities. In the process of agricultural modernization, farmers should be encouraged and trained to improve their abilities and skills, which could help them participate in the processing and circulation, and transform from farmers to operators with the ability to process and sell tea products, so as to increase their incomes while realizing the identity transformation.

    Promoting common prosperity through rural revitalization is a great practice in China. However, it also means that the path of promoting common prosperity faces enormous difficulties, which requires scientific deconstruction of the path and clarification of the theoretical system of relevant issues. Based on the hypercycle theory, this study deconstructs the complex path of promoting common prosperity through rural revitalization. In terms of the reaction process, rural resources inside the countryside and the relationship between urban and rural areas are the starting point of the path of promoting common prosperity through rural revitalization, stable replication and innovative development are the core process of the path, and the endpoint of the path reaction is the material and spiritual common prosperity with Chinese characteristics both in the countryside and city. In terms of the circulation hierarchy, the path of promoting common prosperity through rural revitalization can be deconstructed into three stages: rural internal reaction circulation, rural overall catalytic circulation, and urban-rural system super circulation, which respectively point to different goals of consolidating rural functions, cultivating rural endogenous development capacity and promoting common prosperity between urban and rural areas, corresponding to different stages of practical discovery and theoretical research topics.

    As a new type of agriculture, urban agriculture is related to the flow of urban-rural food elements and energy conversion, and it has become a new format for coordinating urban-rural integrated development. Based on the perspective of urban-rural integration and the flow of elements, the paper takes the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) as the research area, aiming to explore the process and mechanism of urban agriculture's type differentiation, functional evolution and spatial transformation, and to compare and analyze the logical mechanism between different typical types of urban agriculture. The results show that: (1) The three typical types of urban agriculture in the GBA, namely, community supported agriculture, migrant agriculture and leisure agriculture, have differentiated spatial functions, transformation processes, and spatial effects. (2) Community supported agriculture strengthens ecological functions through ecological planting and breeding, and realizes economic functions through short-chain sales, cooperative production, and live broadcast delivery, which leads to the improvement of space quality and the transformation of urban consumption of space. (3) Migrant agriculture emphasizes the economic function, and the transformation process of its material space is reflected in the non-grainization and concentration of cultivated land and the differentiation of community living space, which in turn brings about group exclusion and spatial isolation in social space. (4) Leisure agriculture emphasizes the social security function and the experience and emotional needs of urban groups, and reflects the differences and imbalances in social development in terms of spatial transformation, which further exacerbates the complexity of social relations and the differentiation of spatial benefits. (5) The functional evolution and spatial transformation of typical types of urban agriculture are affected by the comprehensive effects of multiple subjects such as the market, government, enterprises and individuals, and factors such as urban and rural economy, society, technology and culture have an important impact on the direction and degree of spatial differentiation of urban agriculture, and provide new pathways and new models for urban-rural integration through food, community and industrial linkages.

    Resource-based rural areas are the key areas for comprehensive rural revitalization and common prosperity, and the integration of the three industries is an important starting point for the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. Based on the evaluation of the integration level of the three industries, the Industrial Logistic Symbiosis model and the Geographically Weighted Regression model, and taking Daye city, Hubei province, a typical national resource-based area as the research area, this paper analyzes the integration level and endogenous driving force of the three industries in the towns and villages of Daye city in 2020, and then explore the three-industry integration mode and endogenous mechanism under the background of resource depletion. The results showed that: (1) The level of three-industry integration in Daye has obvious spatial disequilibrium, showing a spatial pattern of "two towns are dominant, the west is high and the east is low", and each township has room for improvement in the three-industry integration subsystem. (2) The overall degree of industrial symbiosis in the towns and villages in Daye is relatively low. The industrial unit relationship is dominated by industrial symbiosis and parasitism. The industrial integration model is dominated by the primary industry-led forward integration and the secondary industry-led two-way integration. (3) Endogenous dynamic factors play a significant positive role in promoting the level of integration of the three industries in the study area. Among them, farmers, three-industry integration demonstration bases and industrial parks are the "main engine" of the integration of the three industries, rural cooperatives and leading enterprises play a key role in organization and construction, and agricultural production conditions and infrastructure conditions are the material foundation. (4) Under the action of different endogenous driving forces, the integration of the three rural industries in resource-based areas takes the main body cultivation, factor flow, channel construction and demand development as the four-wheel driving force, agriculture as the integration base and farmers as the integration center to realize the endogenous power improvement and the organic co-promotion of the integration of the three industries in the process of the flow of integration benefits, and promotes the revitalization of rural industries and the integration of urban and rural development in resource-based areas.

    The development of the new path of agricultural industry is an important topic in the study of economic geography, and it is also an important topic for China's rural revitalization and agricultural modernization. Based on the theories of evolutionary economic geography and sociology of expectation, and by using qualitative research methods such as literature analysis, field research and in-depth interviews, this paper takes Yongfu Taiwan High Mountain Tea Industry as an example to build an analytical framework for the development of exogenous agricultural industries from the perspective of path creation and explore its evolutionary mechanism. The research findings are as follows: (1) Through specific analysis from five dimensions, including regional and extra regional assets, key economic and organizational actors, path creation mechanism, institutional environment, policy initiatives and future expectations, Yongfu Taiwan High Mountain Tea Industry has experienced two path creation stages and two new path development evolutions, realizing the development from scratch to diversification. (2) The development experience of Taiwan High Mountain Tea Industry in Yongfu reflects the new path development direction of exogenous agricultural industry under the path guidance, in which the integration of internal and external assets, cultivation of key subjects, diversification of path creation mechanism, institutional and policy environment support, and realization of different expected effects all have a significant impact on the new path development of exogenous agricultural industry.

    Urban-rural integration is a new era proposition in the context of the backwardness of rural development. Optimizing the town-village construction pattern is a fundamental way to address rural development problems, which is of immense theoretical and practical significance. This paper adopts a comprehensive approach using the fracture point model, social network analysis method, and field energy model from the perspective of urban-rural symbiosis to restructure the town-village construction pattern in Guanyun county, located in northern Jiangsu province. The results demonstrate that: (1) The comprehensive quality of villages and towns is the symbiotic substrate, and the time and distance cost of interaction and communication between them is the symbiotic interface under the perspective of urban-rural symbiosis. The symbiotic substrate and interface of villages and towns can be combined for symbiotic selection to guide the optimization of the town-village construction pattern. (2) Based on town quality, centrality, and network cohesion subgroups, the grading of villages and towns in Guanyun is determined. The improved field energy model is utilized to establish town symbionts by calculating the spatial field energy of the county and each town, forming a county-town-village hierarchy of mutual urban-rural symbiosis. (3) The village gravity matrix is reconstructed, and a directed connection line is established between villages. It is observed that 25 villages, including Houbu, Shengou, and Dongxu, have weak connections with other villages, which require further adjustments. Based on urban radiation range and village gravity connections, an optimization adjustment plan is developed to optimize the town-village construction pattern.

    Digital village is an important driving force for agricultural and rural modernization. It is not only the strategic direction of rural revitalization, but also an important part of the construction of digital China. On the basis of analyzing the spatial characteristics of Chinese digital villages, we match CHFS database with Digital Rural County Index, and use the threshold regression method to identify the income increase effect of rural households. The results show that: (1) The development of digital villages in China is unbalanced, presenting a decreasing trend from east to middle and west, but there is little difference between the north and the south; (2) The development level of the four sub-dimensions of digital villages is in the descending order of rural digital infrastructure, rural governance digitization, rural economy digitization and rural life digitization, and there is a large east-west difference between rural economy digitization and rural life digitization. At the same time, the total development level of digital villages and each sub-dimension are significantly correlated in space, and the HH and LL clustering characteristics are prominent. (3) Digital villages promote farmers' income through rural digital infrastructure, rural economy digitalization, rural governance digitalization and rural life digitalization, among which the income increase effect of rural economic digitalization is the largest. (4) The income increase effect of rural households is related to the education and income level of rural households, that is, the income increase effect of rural households with higher education is more significant, while that with lower income is not obvious, and even has a restraining effect. In addition, considering the development stage of the digital villages itself and the level of regional economic development, the digital village has a nonlinear impact on the increase of farmers' income.

    Exploring the spatial correlation of rural territorial multi-functions and its impact on urban-rural integrated development is an important basis for realizing the coordinated improvement of rural territorial multi-functions and efficient urban-rural integrated development. This study explains the influence mechanism of structural characteristics of spatial correlation network of rural territorial multi-functions on urban-rural integrated development, and takes Henan province as a case area to carry out an empirical test with the help of social network analysis and panel regression model. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) The spatial association of rural territorial multi-functions in the study area shows an increasingly complex network structure with the annular differentiation, which presents the spatial pattern of "dense in the central region, but sparse in the marginal area". (2) The network density and network stability are gradually enhanced, while the network closeness needs to be improved. (3) Xinmi, Xinzheng and Yuzhou hold the dominant position in the network, while Nanle, Shangcheng and Yima are at the edge of the network. (4) The structural characteristics of spatial correlation network of rural territorial multi-functions have a significant impact on urban-rural integrated development, and the enhancement of the individual centrality plays a significant role in promoting urban-rural integrated development. This study deeply analyzes the spatial interaction of rural territorial multi-functions, and reveals that the urban-rural integration effect of rural territorial multi-functions presents network non-equilibrium characteristics, which can provide theoretical support for rural linkage development and urban-rural integration at county level.

    Identifying the spatial structure of the rural regional system scientifically and systematically is the premise of proposing differentiated rural revitalization strategies. This is of important practical significance for thoroughly implementing the rural revitalization strategy and accelerate the integrated development of urban-rural areas. This paper takes Changsha county, Hunan province as the research area, constructs a rural development evaluation index system based on the rural regional multi-body system and the multi-level goals of rural revitalization, and integrates research methods such as gravity model, K-Means clustering, geographic detectors and spatial autocorrelation. Quantifying and identifying the spatial structure, including poles of rural revitalization, fields of village-town space, zones of rural development and urban- rural infrastructure networks, is composed of 137 administrative villages in Changsha county. The results show that: (1) The spatial differentiation of rural development level in the study area is the result of a combination of factors, which presents a circle structure weakening from the center of the town core to the periphery, and the spatial agglomeration effect is significant. (2) The closeness of supply and demand between regions is an important factor affecting the strength of spatial linkage, and the intensity of spatial connection based on factors can better express the needs and complementary pattern of regional development. (3) The "Pole-Field-Zone-Network" multidimensional analysis framework has strong applicability for the identification and division of the spatial structure of the rural regional system in the suburbs of the urban area. Finally, 11 rural revitalization poles, 3 village space fields, and 7 rural development areas were specifically determined and divided, and an urban-rural infrastructure network based on the "pole-field-zone" network structure was constructed. According to the spatial structure, this paper puts forward differentiated suggestions for promoting rural revitalization and urban-rural integration development.

    Boosting the internal impetus for rural development is key to promoting high-quality rural development and constructing livable, workable, harmonious and beautiful villages. To this end, existing studies call for neo-endogenous rural development through the collaboration of actors within and outside villages. However, most of the studies discuss this issue at the conceptual level, which still needs a systematic framework to provide action guide. Addressing the gap, this study combines the symbiotic theory and neo-endogenous development pattern, and builds a research framework with three dimensions of the symbiotic unit, symbiotic pattern and symbiotic environment. Taking the "Rural Operation" practice in Lin'an district in Hangzhou as the case, this study identifies the path and mechanisms of the symbiosis of multiple actors within and outside villages to realize neo-endogenous rural development. This study finds that: (1) Local forces, social forces and government forces constitute the basic symbiotic units, respectively assuming the roles of endogenous power, localized intermediary and platform constructor. (2) Neo-endogenous rural development is embedded in a multi-scale symbiotic environment of state, market and local spaces. Multiple action logics, including the state administrative logic, market economic logic and local cultural logic, exist in the environment. (3) In terms of the symbiotic pattern, symbiotic units need to build deep and multiple linkages with each other, establish shared values, and construct a governance system with formal and informal institutions, to enable the stability and sustainability of the symbiotic relationship. This study also provides practical implications for boosting the internal impetus for rural development and promoting rural revitalization, from the perspective of symbiotic theory.

    Inclusive growth in counties is an important realization path to reslove the rural issues in the New Era and comprehensively promote rural revitalization. Based on the county data in 2015 and 2020, this paper constructs a county inclusive growth evaluation index system from the three dimensions of economic growth, social development, and common prosperity. The study uses the entropy-weighted TOPSIS method, kernel density estimation, and Thiel index to analyze the level of inclusive growth in counties. The research finds that: (1) From 2015 to 2020, the inclusive growth level of counties in China showed an upward trend, presenting a pattern of eastern > central > northeastern > western region. In terms of growth rate, the northeastern and western regions are ahead of the eastern and central regions. The inclusive growth level of poverty alleviation counties and key counties assisted by the national rural revitalization was below the national average. (2) The overall difference in the level of inclusive growth in China's counties between 2015 and 2020 decreased from 0.0364 to 0.0258, with intra-regional differences being the main source. In terms of dimensions, the economic growth has the largest variation, while the social development and common prosperity variation have the smaller variation. (3) The inclusive growth level of the county shows a pattern of "high-level difference in the eastern region and low-level balance in the central and western regions". The decomposition of the sources of differences between the east and the west shows that the differences in the eastern region mainly come from inter-provincial differences, and the differences in the western region mainly come from intra-provincial differences. (4) The identification results of obstacle factors show that the number of beds of social welfare adoption units per 10000 people, the number of industrial enterprises above designated size, the per capita public budget revenue, the proportion of employees in the secondary and tertiary industries in the total population, the number of beds in medical institutions per 10000 people, and the per capita disposable income of rural residents as a proportion of per capita GDP are the main obstacles to the inclusive growth of the county. On this basis, the study puts forward enlightenment and relevant suggestions for comprehensively promoting rural revitalization from the aspects of developing and expanding the county economy, enhancing the accessibility of public services for rural households, promoting the wide sharing of economic results, and enhancing the coordinated development of the county.

    The county is the key field to realize the urban-rural integrated development, and the homestead system reform is the important starting point to promote the urban-rural integration at county level. In this paper, we intend to explore the internal connections between the county urban-rural integration and homestead system reform, analyze the mechanism of the homestead system reform promoting county urban-rural integration, and propose the corresponding reform path. The results indicate that: (1) The core of the county urban-rural integrated development is the free and equal flow of urban and rural factors and the profound integration of functions and the equalization of rights and interests. In addition, it is the basic driving force for county urban-rural integrated development to clarify the property right structure of rural land elements and encourage the optimal combination of "people-land-money" elements. (2) Currently, for the homestead system reform, "housing for all households" is the premise, "separation of three rights" is the foundation and "saving and intensive use" and "realization of property functions" are the orientation. The three rural spaces can be orderly adjusted through the withdrawal and arrangement of idle homesteads, so as to support the improvement on the rural infrastructure and public service facilities, and promote the optimization and reconstruction of rural space. The moderately released right of use can promote the development of rural industries as well as the urban-rural cultural exchanges, force the rural governance to be modernized, and push the multi-dimensional integrated development of urban and rural areas at county level. (3) To fulfill the demand of county urban-rural integrated development, we must first clarify the main direction of the homestead system reform in different counties and the reason for the reform of homestead system. Secondly, it is the main focus of the reform of homestead system to improve the marketization allocation level of homestead as a land element and increase its flowability. Third, in the context of digital rural construction, the homestead information management platform can be built with the up-to-date information technology, trying to raise the homestead management level, and provide support for the homestead system reform. Finally, taking the homestead system reform as a breakthrough, we should link various county urban-rural integration policies in combination with measures such as capital introduction and talent guarantee, and form an overall effect, which is the key to promote the multi-dimensional integration of county urban-rural development.

    Based on the research perspective of urban-rural integrated development and regional coordinated development, by constructing a comprehensive evaluation index system for rural revitalization and new urbanization, using the coupled coordination degree model, LISA time path, LISA spatiotemporal leap, and geographically weighted regression model, this paper analyzed the coupling coordinated development level, spatiotemporal differentiation characteristics and influencing factors of 86 county units in Gansu province from 2013 to 2019. The results show that: (1) During the study period, the spatial distribution of county-level rural revitalization and new urbanization is similar, showing a development pattern of "high in the northwest and low in the southeast". Among them, the development level of rural revitalization and new urbanization in the Hexi region is the highest. The coupling coordination of rural revitalization and new urbanization in the Hexi region is the highest, while the coupling coordination of the Central and Southeastern Gansu regions is relatively low. Among the basic imbalance types and basic coordination types, the rural revitalization development backward type accounts for the majority in all the county units of Gansu, and there is no new urbanization development backward type. (2) The spatial pattern of the coupling coordination degree at the county level has a certain degree of smoothness. It has weak volatility in the local spatial dependence direction and spatial growth process and is relatively weak by neighboring cities' spillover effect or siphon effect. The coupling coordination degree at the county level is less affected by the spillover effect of adjacent county units, and the overall trend of high or low growth is more prominent. The local spatial correlation pattern of the coupling coordination degree is kept in a stable situation, and most counties have not experienced any transition; the spatial pattern shows certain characteristics of transfer inertia and path dependence. (3) The influencing factors of the coupling coordination of rural revitalization and new urbanization at the county level are different in space. The urban-rural income gap, urban-rural consumption gap, and industrial duality are not conducive to improving the coupling coordination between the two. On the other hand, the level of economic development and government regulation can improve the coupling coordination between the two.

    Urban-rural integration is an important support for achieving common prosperity and moving towards Chinese path to modernization. Ecotype regions have long fallen into the dilemma of lack of development power, low-level circulation and decline of villages and towns. Urban-rural integration faces greater challenges. Exploring the path of urban-rural integration in ecotype regions is of great significance. This article proposes an innovative theoretical framework for realizing the value of ecological products to promote urban-rural integration. To build the urban-rural integration path of the combination of "value chain-supply chain-factor chain", this paper takes the Northern Guangdong Ecological Development Zone as an example to put forward specific strategies: first, build a full-chain value chain of ecological products, establish ecological material products, ecological regulation products The value realization path of ecological cultural products; The second is to build a cross-regional and urban-rural vertical division of ecological product supply chain, and establish a three-level spatial supply system of "the central city of Dawan district - counties and cities in Northern Guangdong - villages and towns in Northern Guangdong"; Third, establish the factor chain of production factor circulation and trade, and promote the urban-rural convection of population and land factors around the supply chain of ecological products. This paper has theoretical guidance significance for conducting researches in specific urban-rural areas, and provides an example for realizing ecological products' value and developping urban-rural areas in ecotype regions.
