Abstract: A deep understanding from the perspective of evolution of the external characteristics and internal reasons of urban and rural economic relations and the promotion of modernization has important implications for further understanding and promoting the integration of urban and rural economic development in the context of Chinese modernization. In the past 70 years of urban and rural economic development and modernization since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the changes in urban and rural economic relations have always echoed the proposition of different stages of modernization. There is a high degree of consistency between the new journey of Chinese modernization and the logic of urban and rural economic integration. The key point of promoting urban and rural economic integration is to promote the integration of urban and rural elements, and the governance of urban and rural elements gives urban and rural economic relations a structure that conforms to the characteristics of the modernization development stage, and strongly supports the modernization process. It is necessary to further promote the two-way flow, efficient combination, rational allocation and orderly development of urban and rural factors through effective governance of economic factors, which is conducive to accelerating the integration of urban and rural economies and better promoting Chinese-style modernization.
