On the premise of maintaining the existing social system and order, it hopes to revive the declining rural economy, refresh China's politics, revive China's culture and realize the so-called "national reconstruction" or "national self-help" by setting up education, improving agriculture, circulating finance, advocating cooperation, handling local autonomy and self-defense, establishing public medical system and changing customs.
The transformation from traditional rural society to modern society is an inevitable historical development process of modernization in all countries of the world. The completion of modernization is usually marked by industrialization and urbanization. China has suffered setbacks and struggles in industrialization, urbanization and social transformation since modern times. In the past 100 years, rural construction has also become the most important and recurring development problem in China.
The significance of rural movement
The "rural construction movement" has undoubtedly become the main trend of today's social movement, not only in the eyes of relevant parties, but also in the eyes of today's researchers. It is also a very important social change activity in the history of rural social development in China. Although the organizations and institutions of the "Rural Construction Movement" are different in nature and the situation is complicated, they either attach importance to the dissemination of agricultural technology, or devote themselves to local autonomy and political power building, or pay attention to farmers' cultural education, or emphasize the simultaneous development of economy, politics and morality.
But all roads lead to the same goal. These organizations are concerned about the countryside, determined to help the countryside, and carry out social "transformation" with the goal of transforming traditional villages into modern villages, so as to find a way out for the dilapidated countryside in China. On the practical level, the thoughts and theories of the "rural construction movement" are usually closely related to the strategies, policies and measures of national construction.
