Within the theoretical framework of "New Quality Productive Forces," this paper explores the logic and pathways through which Red Culture empowers the high-quality economic development of counties. The article first posits that New Quality Productive Forces require a profound transformation of the county-level economy characterized by structural renewal, optimized factor allocation, and green development models. In this context, Red Culture is identified as a key strategic resource. Its endowments can integrate business formats such as cultural tourism and educational study tours to build characteristic industrial platforms; meanwhile, its brand value enhances regional reputation and competitiveness. Through a threefold transformation process—internalizing the value of "Red Symbols" into development momentum, materializing cultural heritage into industrial factors, and marketizing cultural products to ascend the value chain—a leap from soft power to hard power is achieved. Red Culture serves as a critical instrument for counties to cultivate New Quality Productive Forces and achieve differentiated high-quality development.
