Abstract:In the current context of social transformation, to achieve rural revitalization through urban-rural integration development requires not only the cooperation of the economy, but also the resonance of urban and rural culture. This paper reviews the changes in the perspective of urban sociology theory from the typification to the differences of urban and rural cultures and summarizes the inherent differences between Chinese and Western cultures. Combining the historical and cultural relationship between urban and rural areas in China and the current transformation background, this paper proposes that rural development should pay attention to urban and rural reality on the basis of respecting the differences, break the cultural opposition, and realize rural revitalization. Among them, social participation is an important force for the integration of urban and rural cultures, and the development of digital technology provides a favorable opportunity for it.
