Beautiful Rural Construction
To select colored rice varieties with good ornamental value, strong resistance, high yield, and stable characteristics, and are suitable for “rice planting” in Dongguan and even South China region, 14 colored rice varieties with purple leaves were introduced to carry out the early and late planting trials. The agronomic traits such as leaf color, plant height, lodging resistance and yield were investigated and recorded during the whole growth period. These data were used for the comparative analysis between early and late planting of the same variety or among different varieties. The results showed that there were significant differences in leaf color, growth period, plant height, and yield between early and late planting period of the same variety. There were also significant differences in leaf color and agronomic traits among 14 colored rice varieties. According to the analysis of various characters, the colored rice varieties suitable for early and late planting were selected. The most recommended varieties for early production are 'Shengzi', 'Huazi','Youzi' and 'Ziyehongmi', followed by 'Hangzi', 'Jianzi No.2', 'Aizi' and 'Yingzi'. The most recommended varieties for late production are 'Shengzi', 'Huazi', and 'Youzi', followed by 'Jianzi No.2', 'Aizi', 'Yingzi', 'Ziyehongmi', 'Jiangzi No.1', 'Jiangzi No.2', and 'Zihong No.1'. The color of 'Yingzi' is the most beautiful, but due to its problems such as relatively short plants and low yields, the variety only can be planted small scale for the beauty of "paddy field paintings". The results can be used to guide the variety selection for "paddy field paintings", and promote the construction of beautiful countryside and grain harvest, and the high-quality development of the Greater Bay Area cities.

As people’s living standards continue to improve and the number of people pursuing leisure travel increases, the homestay consumption has undergone diverse changes. After more than 10 years of rapid development, the number of homestay inn in China is among the highest in the world. However, the undifferentiated support by local governments in pursuit of economic benefits has led to a low industry threshold and uneven quality of rural homestay inn. This study illustrates the current situation of homestay inn in China according to the types of rural residential buildings, and based on different leisure modes, studies how to integrate homestay products and design leisure scenes in rural residential buildings, thus changing the current homogenization of homestay inn design, and providing corresponding theoretical support for the sustainable and healthy development of homestay inn in China.
The Ecological Conservation Area (ECA) of Beijing is not only an important protective screen for the ecological safety of Beijing, but a significant foundation for local social-economic development. Its development requires balancing the relationship of ecological protection and economic development. Miyun District, located in the northeast of Beijing as an ECA, was taken for case study. In this study, farmers’ income data change from 2006 to 2018 was analyzed, and indicators of agroforestry water expenditure, the regional GDP, cultivated land area, etc., were selected to construct the evaluating system for correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis, aiming to explore the indicators’ impacts on farmers’ income. The results showed that the per capita income of farmers had an upward trend and was positively correlated with five indicators such as agroforestry water expenditure and regional GDP, and was negatively correlated with total agricultural machinery power consumption and other indicators. To promote the coordinated development of ecological economy in ecological conservation areas, the study puts forward some adaptive income increasing strategies, such as strengthening the infrastructure construction, increasing the investment in human capital, promoting industrial transformation and upgrading and improving the ecological compensation mechanism.

China’s leisure agriculture and rural tourism have entered a new stage of rapid development, and it is necessary to have standardized guidance for the industrial development in an all-round way. Based on the analysis of current situation of the standardization development of China’s leisure agriculture and rural tourism, we constructed the standard system framework of China’s leisure agriculture and rural tourism by literature review and data analysis, and pointed out major problems that need to be solved urgently. By the end of 2020, there were 18, 10 and 120 standards formulated and implemented at the national, industrial and local level, respectively. Among them, Anhui issued the largest number of local standards (17), followed by Beijing (12) and Sichuan (10). The standard system of leisure agriculture and rural tourism development depends on its construction and perfection, covers nine business types, eleven functions and eight key points, and includes basic standards, general standards and professional standards. At present, we should solve the prominent problems in the construction of leisure agriculture and rural tourism standard system, such as the lack of overall planning, unreasonable structure, the shortage of talents and so on. The construction and improvement of the standard system is of great significance for promoting the standardized and healthy development of China’s leisure agriculture and rural tourism.
With the full implementation of the Rural Revitalization Strategy, the process of rural construction has become the focus of modernization, and the research methods of rural landscape evaluation are becoming more and more diverse. The paper aims to adopt appropriate and effective evaluation methods for different research purposes in practical application, and provide a theoretical basis for rural landscape evaluation. The paper sorts out the research on rural landscape evaluation methods in recent years, and finds that the main research focuses on four aspects: rural landscape aesthetic quality evaluation, rural landscape ecological evaluation, rural landscape characteristic evaluation and rural landscape comprehensive evaluation. The paper also analyzes the specific methods of rural landscape evaluation, as well as the characteristics and applicability of the existing evaluation methods. It summarizes the application characteristics of newly developed techniques, and puts forward the new characteristics of rural landscape evaluation, including interdisciplinary and mutual integration of evaluation methods, quantitative and comprehensive evaluation, landscape information digitization and landscape simulation visualization.
With the proposing of the Rural Revitalization Strategy, rural development has become a key part of the country’s overall development. However, in China’s less developed areas, most traditional villages still have problems such as delayed development, chaotic settlement structure and fragile ecological environment, which are the key problems to be solved in rural development. Based on the remote sensing images of 1980, 1990, 2008 and 2020, this paper took Dashuikou village in Ningwu County of northwest Shanxi Province as the research object, established a database and analyzed the village’s landscape change characteristics in the past 40 years by using methods of participant observation and GIS spatial analysis, and the study will provide reference for the traditional rural development in Shanxi Province and even the whole country. The main results showed that: (1) the scale of private space of the settlements gradually increased in the past 40 year, and so did the patch number and patch area, the shape character gradually became simple, and the boundary shape was more regular; (2) the agricultural production land in the production space of the settlements was reduced, which was mainly converted into woodland and residential land, and the increase of industrial and mining land mainly occupied agricultural land; (3) the public space did not developed with the development of the settlements; instead, its layout was gradually decreased and abandoned; only some infrastructures were improved slightly. This study is expected to provide more detailed information and a theoretical basis for future village planning and management.
Family farm is an important carrier and basic support for realizing agricultural modernization on the basis of “small farmers in big countries”. In recent years, family farms in Shandong Province have developed rapidly but the overall development quality is not high. Under the development requirements of the new economic period, it is of great significance to comprehensively promote the transformation of family farms to high-quality development. Based on the sorting out of family farm support policies in Shandong Province, this article divided the development of family farms by stages, and combines relevant statistical data to analyze the development status of family farms in Shandong, summarized the prominent problems facing the current high-quality development of family farms. Therefore, it is necessary to choose perfect land circulation system, promote the rural talent incentive training mechanism, provide diversified government subsidy support, increase government service supply, and promote the development of agricultural socialized service system, comprehensively promote the transformation and upgrading of family farms from incremental to quality improvement.
As the only free trade port covering a whole island in the world, Hainan requires particular attention concerning the Sannong issues (namely, agriculture, rural community and farmers). In recent years, agriculture in Hainan has maintained a good growth momentum, but there are still problems such as insufficient scale, intensification, standardization, branding, marketization and etc. The regression analysis of panel data shows that the impact of the agricultural industry on farmers’ income is significantly negative. The study proposes some suggestions on agriculture development in Hainan, including revitalizing the abandoned rural land through comprehensive land consolidation for intensive and large-scale development, to uphold the principle of food security; stabilizing rubber plantation and production and developing under-forest economy, to diversify the sources of farmers’ income; developing market oriented agriculture with regional characteristics through high-level opening up, to promote Hainan’s agriculture towards standardization and branding; and accelerating the establishment of National Tropical Agricultural Science Center to improve the transformation of agricultural scientific and technological achievements.
