摘要

During the exploration of rural modernization in China, the route of rural urbanization proposed by Chinese scholars mirrors the general path of development in western countries. Starting from the concept of ''''new earthbound China,'''' put forward by Xu Jieshun and He Xuefeng, and based on the reflection of the disadvantages of industrialization, this paper probes the nature and significance of ''''village'''' by examining the development process of human civilizations so that another possible route may be created to achieve rural modernization in China.
