Abstract: To promote Chinese-style modernization, we must unremittingly promote the all-round revitalization of the countryside. Industry and agriculture are inseparable. The light industry is a traditionally dominant industry in China and is closely linked to the revitalization of rural areas. The coordination and resonance between the high-quality development of the light industry and rural revitalization is a significant area of research. This study developed models for coupling coordination degree and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis. It utilized data from 2012 to 2022 to empirically analyze the relationship between the high-quality development of China’s light industry and rural revitalization. Both of the systems had reached a condition of moderate coupling and showed dynamic interactive coupling. The degree of coupling coordination is affected by multiple variables, like economic development and scientific and technological innovation. There are two ways to promote the two to achieve a highly coupled and coordinated state. Therefore, this study opens up a novel methodological perspective and innovative path for research in related fields.
