## Description
Since liberation, rural China has gone through three different stages of development. These stages include the "period of primary farmland reform", "the period of the rise of rural industries" and the "period of modernization". These phases marked the gradual transformation of rural China from a closed state of self-sufficiency to a part of a modern society.

### The period of primary agrarian reform: the beginning of peasant emancipation
The development of China's rural areas began in the 1950s during the period of primary farmland reform. During this period, farmers freed their hands, gained ownership of their land, and began to grow cash crops. The agrarian reform enabled the peasants to liberate themselves from traditional feudal agricultural production and to socialize agricultural production.
Rural development during this period was mainly focused on increasing the output of agricultural products and increasing farmers' incomes. The government encourages farmers to grow high-yield crops and supports agricultural development through measures such as farmland water conservancy construction, agricultural technology training, and agricultural product procurement policies. To a certain extent, these efforts have solved the food problem in the rural areas and improved the living standards of the peasants.
### The Rise of Rural Industries: The Rise of Diversified Development
During the rise of rural industries from the 80s to the 90s of the 20th century, China's rural economy was further diversified. Farmers have begun to get involved in non-agricultural fields, such as rural industry, rural e-commerce, rural tourism, etc. These emerging industries have brought broader employment opportunities and ways to increase income, and promoted the rapid development of the rural economy.
The government has also stepped up its support for rural industries, providing loans, tax breaks and technical training to encourage farmers to start businesses and develop rural enterprises. At the same time, infrastructure construction and the popularization of information technology have also provided a good environment for the development of rural industries.
### The period of modernization: the integration of urban and rural areas
In the 21st century, China's rural areas have entered a period of modernization. The government has put forward the importance of the "three rural" issues and increased investment and support for rural development. The construction of rural infrastructure has been greatly improved, and the conditions for public services such as education, medical care, and housing in rural areas have been gradually improved.
At the same time, the gap between urban and rural areas is gradually narrowing. The government has implemented a series of rural reform policies, including land transfer, rural financial reform, and employment guarantee for migrant workers, which have promoted the rational allocation and interactive development of urban and rural resources. The application of modern agricultural technology has also made agricultural production more efficient and sustainable.
## Summary
The development of China's rural areas has gone through three stages: from the reform of primary farmland to the rise of rural industries and then to modernization. These phases of development transformed the countryside from a closed state of self-sufficiency to part of a modern society. However, there is still a need to continue to devote ourselves to rural development, address the gap between urban and rural areas, rural education reform and environmental protection, and achieve comprehensive rural modernization.
