Abstract  Against the background of rapid urbanization in contemporary China, urban and rural restructuring has generated significant impacts—sometimes manifested as shocks and disturbances—on the rural areas. The line of research on rural resilience has revealed a particular focus on how the rural systems respond to both external and internal shocks and how those responses reshape the future of the rural systems. Given this, this paper endeavors to tease out relevant research—incorporating both the Chinese and English literature on resilience in general and rural resilience in specific—from three aspects, namely, the resilience to what, the resilience of whom, and the measurement of resilience. Through a comprehensive review of resilience literature, this paper aims to advance resilience research with a clarification of the relevant concepts and a deepened understanding of the intellectual pathway of resilience research in literature. The findings of this paper are summarized as follows. First, the study of rural resilience should focus on both sudden and external shocks which may have considerable impacts on the rural systems. Second, the subject of rural resilience has multi-scale correlation effects. At the micro-scale, the resistance, self-organization, and self-adaptation capabilities of individual farmers and rural households can better reflect the very meaning of resilience, which is suggested as adaptive transformation in international literature. Third, in the context of urban-rural integration, future research should continuously focus on the spatiotemporal evolutionary process of rural resilience and unfold the mechanism underlying that process.
