The Mechanism of Action and Typical Models of New Quality Productivity Empowering Rural Revitalization: Based on a Systematic Analysis Framework of “Element–Structure–Function”

To comprehensively promote its rural revitalization, it is an important task for China to accelerate the formation of new quality productivity. Beginning with the three dimensions of elements, structure, and function, this study analyzes the logical relationship between new quality productivity and rural revitalization, constructs an analytical framework of “element–structure–function”, clarifies the mechanism of action of new quality productivity enabling rural revitalization, and categorizes four refined typical rural revitalization models. The study finds that: ① new quality productivity promotes rural revitalization by building a platform for factor flow to form rural value, guiding the optimal allocation of factors to reshape rural value, and driving the coupling of multiple functions to promote the co-creating and sharing of rural value; ② according to the degree of achievement of rural revitalization and the scope of empowerment of new quality productivity, the rural revitalization models are divided into four types, respectively, the rural project model, the new quality productivity exploration model, the traditional industry dominated model, and the rural system reconstruction model. Since rural development still faces uncertainty and complexity in the future, the new quality productivity is not only an important action which can be selected to drive the rural revitalization strategy but also a significant driving force for rural areas to maintain their normal operation and orderly development in uncertain situations.
