Abstract: Abstract As China’s economic development enters a new stage, high-quality development has become a fundamental requirement for China’s economic and social development, and the digital economy is an important engine for promoting high-quality economic development. Therefore, this study takes Guangdong Province as an example, using the entropy weight method and coupling coordination degree model to quantitatively evaluate the level and quality of its digital economy development from 2020 to 2024 based on the connotation of high-quality development. The study found that: 1) The level of high-quality development of Guangdong’s digital economy has steadily improved, with a five-year growth rate of 163.5% in the comprehensive score; 2) The development of subsystems is uneven, with the economic dimension leading the way, the social dimension showing significant progress but large fluctuations, and the ecological dimension showing results but being unstable; 3) The synergy between systems has increased, with some subsystems achieving high coupling and low coordination, but the three major systems as a whole are still in a stage of barely coordinated development.
