Abstract: Based on institutional embeddedness and endogenous development theories, a two-dimensional analytical framework of “government empowerment-endogenous dynamism” was constructed. By assessing the relative strengths of these two dimensions, four practical models for rural revitalization promoting common prosperity were identified: industry-driven wealth, talent-driven efficiency, culture-driven empowerment, and ecology-driven equity. These corresponded to dimensions of material affluence, efficiency enhancement, spiritual enrichment, and equitable promotion, respectively. Field investigations of typical village practices revealed that combinations of external government empowerment and internal village dynamism jointly shaped differentiated local pathways. Furthermore, this framework elucidated the driving mechanisms of each practice type: Industry-driven wealth followed a material-oriented industrial enrichment logic; talent-driven efficiency adhered to an efficiency-oriented talent-led logic; culture-driven empowerment followed a spirit-oriented cultural empowerment logic; ecology-driven equity adhered to an equity-oriented ecological co-creation logic. This integrated comparative framework provided a comparable theoretical perspective and concrete operational pathways for systematically understanding the diverse paths of rural revitalization promoting common prosperity. This study had certain limitations, and future research should further refine the theoretical framework to enhance its explanatory breadth and applicability.
