Abstract：[Objective/Meaning]Understanding the regional differentiation of rural revitalization and development is the inherent requirement of scientific implementation of the"rural revitalization"strategy.[Methods/Procedures]Taking 75 counties(cities and districts)in Fujian from 2015 to 2020 as the research unit,an evaluation index system of rural revitalization was constructed from five dimensions,and entropy weight method and exploratory spatial data analysis(ESDA)were used to study the spatial pattern characteristics,inherent laws and dynamic evolution of rural revitalization development in Fujian.[Results/Conclusions]The results show that:(1)Since the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy,the development level of county-level rural revitalization in Fujian has achieved great growth,while the level of inter-regional rural revitalization has gradually shrunk and the level of equilibrium has been enhanced.(2)From the perspective of spatial correlation pattern,the high-high area and low-low area are spatially clustered obviously,the high-high significant area is mainly distributed in southern Fujian and the neighboring counties of Minjiang Estuary in Fuzhou,and the low-low significant area is mainly distributed in Ningde area in northeast Fujian.(3)From the perspective of time evolution,rural revitalization and development in Fujian initially formed a"center-edge"spatial structure model with the core of"southern Fujian Golden Triangle"and"Minjiang Estuary"radiating gradiently to the edge.However,rural development at county level in Fujian was mainly covered by sub-cold spots,and the level of rural revitalization and development was still at a low level.Finally,the policy suggestions to promote the revitalization of rural areas in Fujian to achieve high quality and balanced development were put forward.
