The interplay between the economy, society and environment has evolved throughout human history, following to specific laws. The theory and mechanism of coupled coordination theory mechanism bear crucial guiding significance for advancing synchronized rural development. After the release of the rural revitalization policy, there has been a trend of rapid development in rural areas. This article takes rural areas across the country as the overall research object and integrates the coupling coordination theory into the interaction between China's rural economy, society, and environment. This research applies the coupled coordination theory and model to the rural economic, social and environmental system. It establishes an index system tailored for contemporary Chinese rural areas and uses the entropy value method and coupled coordination model to gauge the degree of coupled coordination in each province of China from 2012 to 2024. The results of the survey show that the rural areas in eastern China are more developed than the rural areas in central China, which in turn outperforms the rural areas in western and northeastern China. In conclusion, the coordinated development of rural areas in China varies from place to place, highlighting the differences in development.
