ABSTRACT
The development and transformation of the ecological environment is an important
content and future indicator of global environmental change. At the same time, people
of all countries are affected by comprehensive human factors such as local and local
cultural industries and humanistic thoughts while jointly protecting the environment.
This paper studies the coupling relationship between the development of village
cultural industry and ecological environment changes and comprehensively considers
the aspects of detecting regional ecological environment changes, optimizing cultural
industry facilities, coordinating regional sustainable development, and constructing
regional ecological security patterns in the context of rural revitalization. The results
showed that the vegetation or forest coverage increased by 9.2%, 17.4%, 28.1% and
30.5% respectively under the cultural industry protection levels of 2-5. The air
pollution index decreased by 11.2%, 17.9%, 25.2% and 30.3% respectively, and the
pollution of river water resources decreased by 4.1%, 6.6%, 8.9% and 11.1%
respectively. The comprehensive ecological environment development index
increased by 9.43%, 17.41%, 28.59%, 30.48%, 31.61%, 33.22%, 34.80%, 35.71%
and 36.27% respectively under the cultural industry development level of 2-10.
Overall, the cultural relics protection strategy of the village cultural industry under the
background of rural revitalization has significantly promoted the comprehensive
ecological environment in the entire planned area.

1. INTRODUCTION
Rural revitalization is the basic project of a country's modernization [1,2]. For
China, rural issues are even more fundamental to development [3,4]. Ensuring food
security, narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, protecting the ecological
environment, enhancing cultural confidence, and promoting sustainable and stable
economic growth [5,6] are all inseparable from rural revitalization. Rural revitalization
mainly includes the following aspects, as shown in Table 1: it mainly includes talent
revitalization [7], cultural industry revitalization [8], and ecological environment
revitalization [9]. The development of rural revitalization cannot be separated from
innovation, and innovation cannot be supported by talent [10]. Village culture is a
valuable treasure of Chinese culture. It is an important part of the development history
of Chinese culture and an important soft power for China [11,12]. A good ecological
environment has a positive effect on human development. A place of water and soil
nurtures a person, and the temperament of nature and human temperament often
have the characteristic of mutual nurturing. A good ecological environment inevitably
contributes to the formation of a good human temperament [13]. Protecting the
ecological environment is equal to protecting the resources that can be used in the
future [14], which is conducive to the sustainable development of national resources.
Most importantly, in carrying out rural revitalization, we must adhere to the priority
development of agriculture and rural areas. According to the general requirements of
prosperous industry, ecological livability, civilized countryside, effective governance,
and affluent living, we will accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.
The key and focus of rural revitalization is industrial revitalization. Only when the rural
industry is revitalized can more jobs and positions be created, and a sustainable and
stable channel for farmers to increase their income and rural affluence can be
developed. The cultural industry is an important part of rural revitalization. It is very
meaningful to realize the coupled and coordinated development of village cultural
industry and ecological environment for rural revitalization.
Table 1. Main contents of rural revitalization
For the present, studies on the culture of village industry related to the ecological
environment have also received much attention. Village revitalization is an inevitable
requirement for China to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Zhang,
T. [15] analyzed the characteristic village revitalization in the context of China's rural
revitalization strategy with historical and cultural accumulation, climatic characteristics
and residential lifestyle [16]. Their improved vernacular residential model has better
regional adaptability and echoes the local living culture and habits. Further, the study

not only has a positive effect on the preservation of local architectural culture but also
plays a crucial role in improving the living standard of residents. Huang, Y. [17] started
their study from within the village to reveal the rural transformation process in
placemaking theory from a micro perspective. Their research shows that the
relationship between people and land can be reconciled in the process of place-
making. Yang, S.X. [18] applied technology analysis to update China’s understanding
of the site and the technological [19,20] economic behavior of the cultural industry in
the Loess Plateau region. Ye, C. [21] presented the spatial production of rural culture
in three dimensions: ideational space, superficial space, and daily life space based on
the theory of spatial production, and analyzed the rural culture The reasons for the
gradual decline of rural culture. Culture is the root of rural development. A lost culture
leads to a lost village. They argue that adequate daily living space is important for the
flourishing of rural culture. In a study by Chen, Z. [22], they proposed cultural heritage
as a resource for development in many rural areas in China. They collected data
through participant observation [23,24] as well as conducting a series of unstructured
and semi-structured interviews. Arguing how cultural heritage as rural economic
development involves the entanglement and interplay of various powers, Wodarczyk-
Marciniak, R. argued [25] that current patterns of agricultural intensification pose a
threat to traditional agricultural landscapes through landscape simplification [26] and
lead to the loss of biodiversity, ecological functions and key ecosystem services in
rural areas [27]. Therefore, in rural revitalization, more attention needs to be paid to
ecological protection. Jiang, Y. [28] first explored the theoretical and practical model of
land remediation for rural development from the perspective of multifunctional land
use [29] and explored its intrinsic mechanism. They argued that land remediation
contributes to rural development by changing the type and intensity of rural land use
functions and by studying the industrial structure, ecological environment, and cultural
construction. The ecological approach to agriculture has received increasing attention
in rural development, and the ecological approach has been demonstrated mainly in
the multifunctionality discourse [30]. Xie, J. [31] showed that soil degradation and
water pollution associated with excessive use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and
agricultural films lead to serious ecological problems. Duan, Y. [32] concluded that
accurate identification of the rural "production-life-ecology" space is important for
optimizing rural space in China. They based their research on participatory mapping,
semi-structured interviews, and spatial analysis techniques to promote rural ecological
protection and economic development. We have synthesized the studies of scholars
related to village industrial development and the ecological environment. We find that
for village revitalization, the development of the village industry is one of the important
links. Culture is the root of rural development and culture is the soul of villages. By
promoting the development of cultural industries in rural villages and forming cultural
industries with various characteristics, we can provide lasting power to rural
revitalization. In addition, we need both rural revitalization and a good living and living
environment. Rural revitalization cannot be done at the cost of the ecological
environment.
Achieving rural revitalization is a great initiative that has never been done before or
since. The revitalization of the countryside encompasses all aspects. For cultural
revitalization, the countryside in China has created a glorious farming civilization, and
the excellent traditional culture accumulated in history relies on the maintenance and

inheritance of the rural society. For ecological revitalization, the environment is the
foundation on which our survival depends. However, in previous research work, they
often isolated the cultural industry revitalization of rural villages from the ecological
environment for research. Therefore, in our research, we coupled the village cultural
industry with the ecological environment. We fully consider the revitalization of the
cultural industry while taking into account the revitalization of the ecological
environment, and explore the way of coordinated development of the cultural industry
and ecological environment.
2. CURRENT SITUATION OF THE VILLAGE CULTURE
INDUSTRY UNDER THE STRATEGY OF RURAL
REVITALIZATION
2.1. ENCOURAGE VILLAGE ABORIGINES TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE TRANSMISSION OF VILLAGE CULTURAL
INDUSTRIES
To further strengthen the promotion of the training program for the indigenous
people of traditional village culture industry, it is necessary to educate a lot of ideas
and cultivate generations of indigenous people who are interested in traditional village
culture industry, are inculcated by traditional village culture industry, and strengthen
the inheritance and maintenance of traditional village culture industry, to stimulate the
initiative of the indigenous people of traditional village culture industry to inherit
traditional village culture industry and call for the indigenous people of traditional
village culture industry to pursue traditional village culture industry, as shown in Figure
1.

In addition, through a large number of media to promote the traditional village
cultural industry, to mobilize the traditional village cultural industry aborigines to the
traditional village cultural industry. This further promotes the vast number of
indigenous people of the traditional village culture industry to join the great cause of
inheriting and maintaining the traditional village culture industry. In the process of
promoting the traditional village culture industry, we deeply strengthen the impression
of excellent village traditional culture industry to the aborigines of traditional village
culture industry. We internalize the excellent village traditional culture industry in the
hearts of the indigenous people of the traditional village culture industry by making the
excellent village traditional culture industry. In this way, we can make the excellent
village traditional cultural industry outwardly visible in the behavior of the indigenous
people of the traditional village cultural industry, and strengthen the inheritance and
maintenance of the traditional village cultural industry.
Finally, it is the social elites coming out of the villages that are the main support for
realizing the traditional village cultural industry; they have a large amount of social
resources and have a unique understanding of the traditional village cultural industry.
Therefore, we can make use of the advantages of village elite talents to make
reasonable planning for traditional village cultural industry resources, plan parallel
development paths of inheritance, protection, development and utilization, and
vigorously promote the sustainable development of traditional village cultural industry.
With the construction of roads and traffic, industrial upgrading and old village
renovation, traditional villages will not only undergo a radical change in their
environment but will also inevitably attract a large number of high-quality talents and
contribute to the enhancement of the land value of the area.
2.2. THE MARKET DRIVES THE HERITAGE OF THE
VILLAGE CULTURE INDUSTRY
It is worth mentioning that traditional villages are rich in characteristic food,
manufacturing, handicraft and other vernacular industrial resources, and the
innovative development of the village handicraft industry is an important force to
realize the revitalization of traditional villages. The social market is the main core of
the traditional village cultural industry, which plays an important role as a bridge
between the city and the traditional village cultural industry, and between consumers
and the indigenous people of the traditional village cultural industry, and also has the
irreplaceable position of the unified village cultural industry to realize the inheritance
and innovation of the traditional village culture. Therefore, the market should
characterize the ecological environment, historical relics, traditional agriculture,
handicraft, folk culture and other resource endowments of traditional villages. Further,
the market allows the indigenous people of the cultural industry of traditional villages
to obtain higher economic returns through this, giving rise to a strong endogenous
impetus for the protection of traditional villages. Adapting to the new changes of
diversified market demands, we create new types of agriculture such as ecological
agriculture, scientific and technological agriculture, creative agriculture and leisure
and health agriculture. Thus, we can promote the transformation of agriculture in

traditional villages from a single production-oriented business to a new market-
oriented business with diversified and integrated development.
2.3. THE GOVERNMENT DOES A GOOD JOB OF
GUARANTEEING THE CULTURAL INDUSTRY
Emphasize and strengthen the leading role of government departments, promote
the construction of relevant policies and laws and regulations, provide strong political
guarantees for the inheritance of traditional village culture, and ensure the stability,
effectiveness and long-term nature of cultural inheritance work. Second, promote the
construction of the village culture heritage development system. Good project off, in
conjunction with the District Party Committee Propaganda Department, District Justice
Bureau, and District Culture and Tourism Bureau together on the project selection
process and conditions, the use of the fund's management agreement signed and
other aspects of the gatekeeper. To keep the funds, the proposed support projects for
financial settlement evaluation, according to the evaluation amount by the principles of
support determine the support funds. At the same time, the government should also
accelerate the standardization and equalization of basic public cultural services to
achieve the goal.
2.4. ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT QUALITY EVALUATION
Eco-environmental quality is a comprehensive concept that is put forward after a
series of eco-environmental problems have occurred in natural factors or human
production and living activities. It is used to measure the scope, degree, advantages
and disadvantages of human activities in the ecological environment.

3. THE CURRENT SITUATION OF THE ECOLOGICAL
ENVIRONMENT UNDER THE STRATEGY OF RURAL
REVITALIZATION
Rural ecological environment governance and the implementation of the rural
revitalization strategy promote each other. Rural ecological environment governance
is not only an important way to implement the rural revitalization strategy but also its
due meaning. The relationship between the two is mutually reinforcing and can also
produce a positive multiplier effect. Promote rural ecological revitalization, and build
beautiful villages with clean and beautiful living environments, stable and healthy
ecosystems, and harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. In addition,
farmers' weak awareness of environmental protection and the limited ability of NGOs
to participate in governance cannot be ignored. To promote the governance of the
rural ecological environment and realize the comprehensive revitalization of the rural
society, there is an urgent need for "stakeholders" such as local enterprises, farmers,
NGOs, and rural communities to perform their respective functions under the
leadership of the local government, and "multiple governances". Among them, the
local government should take the responsibility of "leading"; local enterprises should
strengthen the social responsibility of protecting the rural ecological environment;
farmers should enhance their awareness of the main body of governance; NGOs
should improve their ability to participate in the governance of rural ecological
environment; The "main position" of ecological environment governance. Rural
communities should give full play to the "home field" advantage of ecological
environment governance.
4. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the ecological
environment, which is in line with the intent of the Paris Agreement, the global climate
and carbon emissions, and other environmental factors. The development and
transformation of the ecological environment is therefore an important element of
global environmental change and an indicator of the future. At the same time, the
common protection of the environment by all peoples is influenced by a combination
of human factors such as local and local cultural industries and humanistic thinking.
Local cultural industries are inextricably linked to the sustainable development of the
environment and ecology and the further rational development of agricultural land and
the increase of construction land for better social and economic development.
Therefore, by using the active promotion of humanistic village cultural industries and

the active control of environmental ecology, we can further realize the coupled
development under rural revitalization. At the same time, the passive properties of the
above two main factors confer a passive gain effect in the regulation, which is
expected to make the future integrated development a positive cycle in nature. A large
number of previous studies have been conducted on different scales and contexts.
The results show that there is a complex dynamic coupling relationship between the
two, that changes in land use and ecological service values are bound to bring about
changes in one or the other, and that the village cultural industry is one of the
important drivers of ecological change, and that the transformation of the village
cultural industry leads to changes in its service values by changing the structure and
function of the ecosystem. Therefore, studying the coupling relationship between
cultural industry transformation and ecological environment change in villages is of
considerable critical practical significance for detecting regional ecological
environment change, optimizing cultural industry facilities, coordinating regional
sustainable development and constructing regional ecological security patterns in the
context of rural revitalization.
And the cultural revitalization in the rural revitalization strategy has created positive
and remarkable innovations in China's rural construction. The excellent traditional
culture accumulated in history relies on the maintenance and transmission of rural
society. For ecological revitalization, the environment is the basis on which we live.
However, in previous research work, they often studied the revitalization of rural
village cultural industries in isolation from the ecological environment. Therefore, in
our study, we coupled the cultural industry and ecological environment of villages
together. We fully consider the revitalization of the cultural industry while taking into
account the revitalization of the ecological environment, and explore the way of
coordinated development of the cultural industry and ecological environment.
4.1. THE IMPACT OF CULTURAL CONSERVATION ON THE
ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
First, we considered the important and significant change variables in the
development of village cultural industry in the context of rural revitalization. We
selected two major regions of Ganzi and Aba in Sichuan Province for a specific
analysis related to the coupled development relationship between the village cultural
industry and the ecological environment. The variables involved in the analysis are the
combined effects of material and non-material cultural conservation on the
comprehensive ecological environment evaluation index. Among them, the material
culture protection assessment is composed of the number of cultural relics protected
items, the degree of restoration and the completeness of cultural relics background
knowledge are calculated by weights, and the weights are 0.4, 0.4 and 0.2
respectively. Similarly, the assessment of intangible cultural protection is composed of
the frequency of holding cultural evenings, the number of Internet APP broadcasts,
and the integrity of the cultural network. The weights are 0.4, 0.2, and 0.4,
respectively. As for the comprehensive index of ecological environment, we
considered the vegetation coverage rate of the area near the cultural industry of each
village, the pollution degree of water resources of rivers and the air pollution index.
https://doi.org/10.17993/3cemp.2023.120252.161-178
171
3C Empresa. Investigación y pensamiento crítico. ISSN: 2254-3376
Ed. 52 Iss.12 N.2 April - June, 2023
For the comprehensive index of the ecological environment, we considered
comprehensive factors such as the vegetation coverage rate in the vicinity of each
village's cultural industry, the pollution degree of river water resources, and the air
pollution index. The way to obtain these parameters comes from the statistics of
government platforms in Sichuan Province from 2018 to 2020. The results are shown
in Figure 2. It is observed that the vegetation coverage rate of the comprehensive
evaluation index of the ecological environment increases with the increase of the
protection degree of cultural relics, while the pollution degree of river water resources
and the air pollution index decrease with the increase of the protection degree of
cultural relics. In general, the ecological environment in the vicinity of the village
cultural heritage sites increased significantly with the increase in the level of protection
of cultural heritage in the village cultural industry. Specifically, the vegetation or forest
cover of the surrounding areas increased by 9.2%, 17.4%, 28.1%, and 30.5%,
respectively, under the cultural industry protection level of 2, 3, 4, and 5, compared to
the cultural industry protection level of 1, with an average rate of increase of about
10% with the cultural industry protection level. At the same time, the air pollution index
decreased by 11.2%, 17.9%, 25.2% and 30.3% under the cultural industry protection
level of 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively, with an average reduction rate of about 8% with the
cultural industry protection level. In addition, the pollution level of river water
resources decreases by 4.1%, 6.6%, 8.9% and 11.1% under the cultural industry
protection level of 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively, with an average reduction rate of about
3% with the cultural industry protection level. The results of the integrated
environmental index with the degree of cultural protection are shown in Figure 3,
where it is observed that the integrated ecological index increases by 17.32%,
24.27%, 29.99%, and 32.44% under the overall cultural industry protection degree of
rank 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively.
The overall situation shows that the local government and related organizations
attach importance to tangible and intangible cultural heritage as well as policy
implementation is reflected, which is reflected at a deeper level in the coupled
development relationship with the ecological environment. The heritage conservation
strategy of the village cultural industry in the context of rural revitalization has
significantly promoted the comprehensive ecological environment in the whole plan
area.

4.2. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CULTURAL INDUSTRY
DEVELOPMENT AND THE ECOLOGICAL
ENVIRONMENT
Subsequently, we conducted a comprehensive assessment of the coupled
development relationship between the development of cultural industry and the
ecological environment in villages in the context of rural revitalization. Among them,
we selected the cultural industry development levels (0-10) of different villages in two
major regions of Ganzi and Aba in Sichuan Province as the independent variables,
while the integrated development index of the ecological environment on the
horizontal axis was used as the dependent variable. The development trend is shown
in Figure 4, where it is observed that the comprehensive eco-environmental
development index increases with the degree of cultural industry development.
Specifically, relative to the degree of cultural industry development at rank 1, the eco-
environmental comprehensive development index changes significantly at the degree
of cultural industry development at ranks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. They improved
accordingly by 9.43%, 17.41%, 28.59%, 30.48%, 31.61%, 33.22%, 34.80%, 35.71%,
and 36.27%. The improvement of the overall eco-environmental composite
development index obtained a greater increase at the lower level of cultural industry
development, with an average increase of about 9%. After the development level of
the cultural industry reaches 4, the increase of the overall ecological environment
comprehensive development index gradually slows down, which means that the
cultural industry needs more to maintain a good ecological environment after taking
shape, which is more conducive to sustainable development. Therefore, when the
development degree of cultural industry in a certain region reaches a certain level, the
relevant government and enterprises can appropriately develop more other fields,
which means that the coupling degree of cultural industry development and ecological
environment is reduced.

5. CONCLUSION
The development and transformation of the ecological environment is an important
element of global environmental change and an indicator of the future. At the same
time, the common protection of the environment by all peoples is influenced by
comprehensive factors such as localized industries and humanistic thoughts. By using
the active promotion of the humanistic village culture industry and the active control of
environmental ecology, we can further realize the coupled development under rural
revitalization. In this paper, we study the coupling relationship between the
development of village cultural industry and ecological environment changes and give
comprehensive consideration to detecting regional ecological environment changes,
optimizing cultural industry facilities, coordinating regional sustainable development
and building regional ecological security patterns in the context of rural revitalization.
The conclusions are as follows.
1. There is a complex dynamic coupling between the development of cultural
industries and changes in the ecological environment. The cultural industry of
villages is one of the important drivers of changes in the ecological
environment, and the transformation of the cultural industry of villages leads to
changes in the value of its services by changing the structure and function of
the ecosystem. The study of the coupling relationship between the
transformation of village cultural industries and ecological environment
changes has considerable critical practical significance for detecting regional
ecological environment changes, optimizing cultural industry facilities,
coordinating regional sustainable development and building regional ecological
security patterns in the context of rural revitalization.
2. The vegetation or forest cover in the surrounding areas increased by 9.2%,
17.4%, 28.1%, and 30.5% under the cultural industry protection levels of 2, 3,
4, and 5, respectively, compared to the cultural industry protection level of 1,
with an average increase of about 10% with the cultural industry protection
level. At the same time, the air pollution index decreased by 11.2%, 17.9%,
25.2% and 30.3% under the cultural industry protection level of 2, 3, 4 and 5,
respectively, with an average reduction rate of about 8% with the cultural
industry protection level. In addition, the pollution level of river water resources
decreased by 4.1%, 6.6%, 8.9%, and 11.1% under the cultural industry
protection level of 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively, with an average reduction rate of
about 3% with the cultural industry protection level.
3. Compared with the cultural industry development level of rank 1, the overall
eco-environmental development index increased by 9.43%, 17.41%, 28.59%,
30.48%, 31.61%, 33.22%, 34.80%, 35.71%, and 36.27% for the cultural
industry development levels of rank 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, respectively.
The improvement of the overall eco-environmental composite development
index obtained a greater increase under the lower level of cultural industry
development, with an average increase of about 9%. And when the degree of

cultural industry development reaches 4, the overall ecological environment
comprehensive development index gradually slows down, which means that
the cultural industry needs more to maintain a good ecological environment
after taking shape, which is more conducive to sustainable development.
