Abstract: The modernization of agriculture and rural areas is crucial to the overall development and quality of Chinese modernization. As a vital component of accelerating this modernization, the construction of livable, workable, and harmoniously beautiful villages embodies a unity of strategic, systemic, value, and developmental logic as is manifested in a strategic positioning aimed at Chinese modernization, a systematic design oriented toward the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas, a people-centered value stance, and a developmental mainline driven by reform. Starting from the practices of China’s rural development, during the period of the 15th Five-Year Plan, we need to take comprehensive and coordinated efforts from multiple fronts, including creating livable spaces, developing distinctive industries, preserving a sound ecological environment, improving governance systems, and fostering vibrant rural culture so as to promote the construction of livable, workable, and harmoniously beautiful villages and the achievement of comprehensive rural revitalization, thus accelerating the modernization of agriculture and rural areas and better advancing Chinese modernization.

Key words: livable and workable, harmoniously beautiful villages, modernization of agriculture and rural areas, comprehensive rural revitalization
