The research explores their overall characteristics, distribution dynamics, regional disparities, spatial effects, and secondary indicator coordination. Key findings include: (1) Both digital economy and rural revitalization levels showed consistent growth throughout the study period, with coastal economic zones demonstrating higher rural revitalization achievements; (2) While initially at a moderate coordination stage, the synergy between digital economy and rural revitalization has gradually strengthened, particularly in coastal regions; (3) Over time, the coordination degree increased with geographic dispersion; (4) Regional disparities in coordination showed progressive expansion, primarily due to inter-regional differences; (5) Spatial correlations exist in coordination effectiveness across regions; (6) Digital economy significantly positively influences rural revitalization, with coastal and Mid-Yangtze River Economic Zone clusters maintaining high coordination levels in secondary indicators.
