Abstract：Since 1990s, the concept of gentrification has been extended to the application of transformation and reconstruction in rural areas. It has attracted extensive attention from various disciplines, such as geography and sociology. The research of rural gentrification in western countries is in the ascendant and has become an effective approach on the rural research over the past 20 years. However, there are few domestic researches in this field. Based on the western literature, this paper summarizes the researches of rural gentrification in western countries. The phenomenon of class replacement may not occur in the process of rural gentrification. "Gentlemen" in the concept of "gentrification" are not confined to certain social classes. Economic level and class composition are not the only constructing criteria for the group of rural gentries. Even though there exist some new concepts of rural gentries, such as marginal gentrification (lesbians, artists, etc) and self-gentrification (Some Indigenous people are improving their socio-economic standing and becoming "middle-class" or "gentry"). Its influence includes the change and restructuring in the rural aspects of population, economy, housing market, social and politics. It promotes the growth of rural population and slows down the general decline of rural population and the trend of high emigration rate. The local economic level has been improved and the proportion of service industry has increased. And the influx of urban middle class has triggered the rising of local real estate prices. Furthermore it means injecting new strata and social structures into rural destinations. The theoretical explanations mainly include two perspectives:demand (consumption) and supply (production). Then we make a review of rural gentrification according to the deeper understanding of this concept and the difference from urban gentrification and counter-urbanization. Finally, this paper puts forward the enlightenment of the foreign research of rural gentrification on China.
