It is a common problem faced by developing countries to handle the urban and rural economic development correctly in the process of modernization. The problem in Chinese economy-the transformational economy manifests particularly strong. Agriculture, rural areas and farmers (referred to as "three rural" issue) is the fundamental issue of social and economic development.Before the reform and opening , China failed to build up balanced growth and harmonious development of relations between China's urban and rural areas because of China's implementation of "Heavy suppression agriculture" industrialization strategy, "re-light rural town" city strategy and social management system of the urban-rural division , forming the urban-rural dual structure.Since the reform and opening, with the introduction of the market mechanism, the relationship between the city and the countryside has been increased. The solution to "three rural" issue stepped out a stride. But we should also see the way of agricultural production still falls behind, the rural community develops still lags, the farmers have difficulty increasing their income stably. The disparity between workers and farmers and the disparity between the city and countryside have become the chief obstacle of developing the national economy further. And the agriculture and the countryside are the weak link in the socio-economic development process To correct the economic imbalance existing in our country ,the dual urban-rural economic structure must be broken; the development must be balanced and coordinated; the development of urban and rural economy must be integrated .The law of the development of developed countries tell us when industrialization entered the middle and late stages. The power of national economy growth mainly comes from non-agricultural production. On this stage, the dual structure characteristic withers. The workers and farmers, city and countryside develop equally coordinately. the agriculture and countryside will become the supported object of industry and the city. At present, China has entered the middle and late stages of industrialization, generally equipped with the physical conditions and the macroeconomic environment of industry supporting agriculture and cities supporting rural areas.Through combing the scholars'research results of the Chinese and foreign different discipline domain. the problem requiring in-depth study is made clear and discusses how to promote the integration of urban and rural economic development is discussed unifying the practice of Chinese city and countryside economic development .In this paper empirical analysis method is used to study the evolution of China's urban-rural relations process and the performance of each historical period .The historical and logical analysis is also made on the formation mechanism of China's urban-rural dual structure. Because urban and rural economic integration is a dynamic process of development ,this paper carries out the long and dynamic analysis and makes static depth study on the current situation and existing problems of the relationship between urban and rural areas of China and makes careful analysis of practice and experience of urban-rural integration of the U.S., Japan, Korea and other industrialized countries. Based on the development trend of China's urban-rural relations this paper puts forward the targets and response framework using standard analysis method,Integration of urban and rural economic development refers that urban and rural areas are two different economic and social units of characteristics When the productivity reaches a certain level, it seeks coordinated development, two-way evolution in an interdependent region, and finally reaches national economic system. of space integration, population integration, market integration, industrial integration, the integration of public goods supply .A country's economic development strategy, economic system, the supply of public goods, technological progress, innovation of organizational systems, ideologies and cultural traditions, resources and environment will have a major impact on the relationship of urban and rural economic development, relations and patterns.Urban and rural economic development can be divided into five periods with different characteristics since the new China: the period of restoring the national economy ;the urban and rural economic development during planned economy period; the urban and rural economic development during the period of taking the lead in reforming the rural economy; the urban and rural economic development during the period of economic structural transformation the period of socialist market and the current conditions of China's urban and rural economic development. In the evolutional process, urban and rural economic development is followed by the equitable, free development - urban and rural division, confrontation - easing loosening period. China's urban-rural dual structure is formed under the action of three factors, that is, the strategy of catching up and surpassing emphasizing the priority development of heavy industry; the traditional planned economic system, urban-rural division, the social management system emphasizing city and neglecting countryside. At present, the reasons restricting the slow transformation of Chinese urban and rural structure:, the inertia run of dual structure formed under the traditional system ;political and economic reform lagging in rural areas; the countryside bearing more costs owning to gradual reform road.Practice of the developed countries shows the integration is the urban and rural economic development trend. Their practice gives the following revelation to us: Agricultural modernization is the prerequisite and basis to promote the integration of urban and rural economic development. Playing the dual role of government and the market is the key to the integration of urban and rural. Emphasis on infrastructure and investment in education is the basis for the integration of urban and rural economic development. Local and private involvement is the basic driving force to promote the integration of urban and rural economic development.The concept of scientific development is the theoretical guidance to promote the integration of urban and rural economic and social development.Promoting the integration of urban and rural economic development should follow the basic principles of people-oriented, non-balanced and coordinated development, comprehensive, and complementary Integrated urban and rural economic development is the basic method. promoting the integration. System theory, synergetics, dissipative structure theory are the theoretical basis of countermeasure framework to promote the integration of urban and rural economic development Implementation of strategy of industrialization, urbanization strategies and innovative institutional mechanisms is the basic content of the framework. to achieve integration of urban and rural economic development.Industrialization including industrial and agricultural modernization is the determining factors of the integration of urban and rural economic development New China's different periods of determine different urban and rural economic development pattern. Socialist market economy is the institutional basis to restore the natural connection between urban and rural .China has entered a "to industry subsidizing agriculture" stage, the implementation of agricultural feed should follow the co-ordination mutual benefit and win-win principle, mainly from the capital, policy and institutional aspects of feed.In terms of the contrast of population, employment structure and industrial structure or comparison with the international standard mode, the level of urbanization in China lags far behind the level of industrialization.urbanization lagging seriously restricts the process of agricultural modernization, the transfer of surplus agricultural labor force, market expansion and evolution of division of labor, etc. and it is also the major obstacle to promote urban and rural economic development integration. The urbanization should promote the construction of a new socialist countryside and the equalization of basic public services and so on.Unified and orderly market system and a clean and efficient administrative system can reduce the social costs of economic development and improve the overall efficiency of resources. Establishing and improving a unified labor market, financial markets, land markets and other producing elements markets are the key to resolving the effective freedom of movement of economic elements between urban and rural areas and improving efficiency of resource allocation. The natural inferiority of agricultural industry is the economic reasons of government intervening the rural building On the basis of reflection about "Urban counties" model the paper explores "provincial governing county" administrative system and makes a comparative analysis of the "Zhejiang Model" and the "Hainan model." To achieve equalization of urban and rural public goods supply the paper puts forward the reduction of the vertical from the level, the perfection of following transfer payment system, a reasonable structure of financial expenditure in order to improve the public finance system...
