With the improvement of the level of economic development after the reform and opening up,China’s urban-rural integration has made great achievements.The gradual promotion of urban-rural integration provides guarantee for the development of China’s urban modernization and agricultural modernization,but at the same time,we should also see the unbalanced development between urban and rural areas,and the existing dual structure is difficult to fundamentally change in a short time.On the basis of inheriting and innovating the theory of urban-rural relationship between Marx and Engels,Xi Jinping made a deep study on the new problems in the process of urban and rural development in China,and put forward a series of new ideas and strategies.Xi Jinping’s new contributions to Marx and Engels’ s thought of urban and rural integration are mainly reflected in three aspects: first,it has entered a new era of urban rural integration and development.Under the new historical conditions,new changes have taken place in the major contradictions,development strategic objectives and development concepts of urban and rural areas in China.Secondly,there are many fields to realize the integration of urban and rural areas.Xi Jinping’s thought of urban rural integration and development mainly includes five aspects: economy,politics,culture,society and ecology.In terms of economy,we should adhere to the basic position of agriculture and vigorously develop the productive forces;in terms of politics,we should actively play the leading role of the party and the government;in terms of culture,we should further promote the development of compulsory education and improve the ability and comprehensive quality of agricultural workers;in terms of society,we should start with medical treatment,housing,employment and other aspects to reduce the income gap and life of urban and rural residents In the aspect of ecology,the long-term development of ecological environment is taken as the basis to make the majority of rural residents live and work in peace and contentment.Third,Xi Jinping has an international perspective and promotes the integration of urban and rural development underthe background of economic globalization,applies science and technology to agriculture,and improves the quality of agricultural products,enhances the ability of export to the outside world,and improves the international competitiveness of China’s agricultural products through the structural reform of the supply side of agriculture.Xi Jinping’s thought of urban and rural integration and development has important theoretical and practical significance.On the basis of inheriting and developing the idea of urban and rural integration of Marx and Engels,it provides practical guidance for breaking the two dimensional structure of urban and rural areas,promoting the integration of urban and rural areas,and achieving the goal of China’s centenary China’s struggle.
