Abstract: Rural revitalization is the result of the joint drive of internal and external forces, and how external forces can intervene and influence rural development is an important issue worth exploring. The article takes Xiangtang Village in Pukou District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province as an example, aiming to analyze the impact mechanism of art intervention on rural areas in the urban fringe, identify existing problems, and propose optimization strategies, thereby providing theoretical and practical references for the hematopoietic revitalization of rural areas. The research results show that the intervention of art in Xiangtang Village has gone through three stages: planning and laying the foundation, forming the business model, and deepening governance. It has promoted industrial transformation at the economic level, achieved identity reconstruction at the cultural level, and completed functional upgrading at the spatial level. However, in the practical process, there are also problems such as homogenization of art installations, low participation of villagers, shortage of local talents, and contradictions between ecology and construction. Based on this, the article proposes strategies such as building a localized flexible industrial ecology, deepening the dual empowerment of art and intangible cultural heritage, and implementing flexible spatial governance under ecological constraints, in order to provide a reference path for rural revitalization in urban fringe areas.
