Abstract: To clarify the status of harmonious and beautiful villages construction within the framework of China's rural revitalization strategy, the connotation of harmonious rural areas was first sorted out from three dimensions: livability, business-friendliness, and harmonious beauty, in alignment with the fundamental characteristics of Chinese-style modernization, and the evaluation index system was constructed by combining the basic characteristics of Chinese-style modernization. Fifth primary indicators,such as industrial beauty, talent beauty, ecological beauty, cultural beauty, organizational beauty, and 27 secondary indicators were selected, and the weights were determined using the principal component analysis method. The results showed that industrial revitalization (54.9%) > cultural revitalization (16.5%) > ecological revitalization (10.5%) > organizational revitalization (8.9%）= talent revitalization (9.2%). Taking 7 national key counties of leisure agriculture and rural tourism in Guangxi as the research object to carry out empirical analysis, the results showed that the comprehensive ranking of the construction of harmonious and beautiful villages was Lingyun County > Nandan County > Shanglin County > Pingxiang City> Rong County > Pinggui District > Daxin County. Improving the livability and business-friendliness of rural areas, the key was to revitalize the industry; building livable, workable, harmonious and beautiful villages required a path of diversified and integrated development.

Key words: harmonious and beautiful villages, evaluation index system, Chinese-style modernization, rural revitalization
