Abstract: Marx and Engels' thought of urban-rural integration is the result of Marx and Engels' use of historical materialism to criticize the alienation of capitalist urban-rural relations and to“sublate”the predecessor's urban-rural ideas. Its main content includes the logical necessity, essential connotation and realization conditions of urban-rural integration, which is ultimately committed to promoting people's free and all-round development. Over the 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese Communist Party has united and led the Chinese people to successfully embark on a road of urban-rural integrated development with Chinese characteristics. The road of urban-rural integrated development with Chinese characteristics has innovatively developed Marx and Engels' thoughts on urban-rural integration from the theoretical, value and practical levels, which can help to fundamentally solve the problem of the imbalance and insufficiency of urban-rural development, promote the high-quality development of urban and rural areas, and realize the common prosperity of all people.

Key words: urban-rural integration, the road of urban-rural integrated development with Chinese characteristics, the new types of industry-agriculture and urban-rural relationships, rural revitalization
