Objective/Meaning  The strategy of rural revitalization is the general starting point for solving the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and also an important way to achieve common prosperity. The purpose of this paper is to systematically evaluate the level of rural revitalization and development in Fujian Province by constructing an evaluation system for rural revitalization and integrating the dynamic measurement methods, and to explore its regional differences and evolution trends, so as to provide scientific basis and decision-making reference for optimizing the regional rural revitalization strategies.

Methods/Procedures 21 secondary indicators from five dimensions were selected to construct the evaluation system of rural revitalization, and a new dynamic measurement method was integrated based on the entropy weight-G1 order relation method, TOPSIS method and minimum variance method. Through the kernel density analysis, obstacle degree model and Markov chain, the development level, regional differences and evolution trend of rural revitalization in nine prefecture-level cities of Fujian Province from 2000 to 2023 were explored.

Results/Conclusions The results showed that: (1) During the study period, the overall development level of rural revitalization in Fujian Province showed an upward trend, forming a development pattern where Fuzhou and Xiamen took the lead, with other prefecture-level cities following closely. (2) The total power of agricultural machinery per capita and agricultural labor productivity have always been the core obstacle factors restricting the development of the province. (3) The demand for ecological governance in Fujian Province has become increasingly prominent,with the upgrading of rural development stages, and the evolution of rural revitalization level exhibited strong inertia. Based on the above conclusions, the countermeasures were put forward, such as focusing on solving the common bottlenecks of industries, narrowing the gap of regional development, and dynamically optimizing the governance strategies, so as to promote the high-quality coordinated development of rural revitalization in the whole province.
