China is in the process of rapid urbanization so many farmers go to the city to buy houses and to live in the nearest county. However， even if they enter into the city， they still rely on rural resources to varying degrees， or they still go to big cities to obtain employment to earn higher wages， and family members are still in a state of long separation. This county semi⁃urbanization state， which relies on big cities and rural resources， is mainly promoted by the consumption upgrading of the generation of 80s and 90s， which is the result of its balance between pursuit and ability from the micro point of view. From the macro point of view， it is the balance between the efficiency of market⁃oriented resource allocation and the fairness of nationalized resource allocation. At present， farmers entering the county mainly realize the urbanization of life， in which consumption is more prominent than production. County semi⁃urbanization also reflects insufficient county productivity， insufficient farmers' family labor capacity and accumulation capacity. It takes a long time either for farmers to achieve complete urbanization through the qualitative change of labor capacity or family accumulation， or for county to realize full urbanization by upgrading production capacity to create better conditions. Therefore this kind of county semi⁃urbanization has a long⁃term nature.
