The mechanism and pathway of bidirectional empowerment between value realization of ecological products and rural cultural revitalization: Based on the "human-culture-technology-industry-institution" five-dimensional synergy perspective

The bidirectional empowerment between value realization of ecological products and rural cultural revitalization is an important proposition for comprehensively advancing rural revitalization. Based on the "human-culture-technology-industry-institution" five-dimensional synergy framework to systematically explore the fundamental logic, operational mechanisms, and key strategies for the bidirectional empowerment between the value realization of ecological products and rural cultural revitalization. The study reveals that ecological resources and rural cultural exhibit inherent symbiosis. The bidirectional empowerment of the value realization of ecological products and rural cultural revitalization embodies the unification of theoretical inevitability, institutional necessity, and practical feasibility. This synergy is achieved through three mechanisms: resource integration, economic incentives, and cultural identity reconstruction. To address the practical challenges of bidirectional empowerment, we propose the following key pathways: multiple actors cultivation and incentive pathway; cultural conservation and innovation-driven pathway; digital technology empowerment for the entire chain pathway; ecocultural industry value-added pathway; planning leadership and policy coordination pathway.
