Abstract
The flow of educational resources between urban and rural areas is an important way to promote the long-term development of rural education. Most previous theoretical research used the concept of sharing to guide the flow of educational resources between urban and rural areas and explored approaches to the flow of educational resources, preferably such physical resources as educational funds, teaching force, and teaching resources. However, the urban–rural structure leads to the one-way flow of educational resources from urban areas to rural areas, and high input and low output arise in rural education. In the background of rural revitalization, rural education, which lacks confidence, needs new ideas to reconstruct the road to revitalization. Symbiosis implies the inheritance and development of sharing. The units, models and environments for symbiosis in the theory of symbiosis apply to the research into the flow of educational resources between urban and rural areas. The “symbiosis” of urban and rural educational resources can help effectively solve such problems as the involution of rural education, the insufficient interactions between urban education and rural education, and the unstable flow of resources. In the process of rural education revitalization, to achieve mutual benefit-based symbiosis, urban and rural areas need to achieve symbiosis rather than share educational resources with each other and emphasize the transformation and optimization of the concept of development, content and modes.
