In China, the "three rural" issue, namely agriculture, rural areas and farmers have a direct impact on further development of rural economy and society as well as China's prosperity and stability, to be the biggest obstacle to building a well-off and harmonious society in China, also to be the focus of public attention. The core of "Three rural" issue is increasing farmers'income, but since the late nineties of the 20th century China's farmers'income growth dropped significantly. Many scholars in foreign and domestic believe that the slow growth of peasant income in China is mainly because of excessive numbers of agricultural labor, so the effective transfer of agricultural labor force will conducive to substantial increase in farmers'income.Shaanxi Province as a relatively backward economic and social development of inland agricultural province, how to speed up the pace of increasing the farmers'income and solve the difficulties in Transfer of agricultural labor force has become the best important problem to solve the "three rural" issue in Shaanxi Province during the new period of building a moderately prosperous society. However, whether the transfer of non-agricultural employment will promote growth in peasant income or not and how much contribution rate on the transfer of agricultural labor force to farmers'income are the two focuses of this paper to explore. This article is divided into the following six main sections:The first part is an introduction, the main topics of this part discusses the background and significance of why select this title, research objectives and methods as well as possible innovations of this title.The second part summarizes research status in domestic and foreign. This part mainly summarized the three areas of research on transfer of rural surplus labor force in nonagricultural employment, increase of farmers'income as well as the relationship between transfer of agricultural surplus labor force and increase of farmers'income.The third part overviews the current situation of agricultural surplus labor in Shaanxi Province.
