With the acceleration of urbanization, a New Urban-Rural Amphibiousness phenomenon has emerged, characterized by groups that facilitate the bidirectional flow of key development factors across urban and rural areas. However, research on the strategic interactions among multiple actors and the integrated development mechanisms of the "agriculture and culture-tourism+" model from the urban-rural amphibiousness perspective remains limited. Taking Houguan village in Fujian province as a case, this study develops an Improved Multi-Layer Network Model based on Actor-Network Theory (ANT), which overcomes the limitations of single-theory approaches to reveal the interconnections among the village's agriculture, culture-tourism and education network. Drawing on symbiosis theory, this study elucidates the integrated development mechanism of the "agriculture, culture-tourism and education" model. The findings indicate that: (1) Houguan village has developed a multi-layer integrated mutual feedback system encompassing agriculture, culture-tourism and education. Cross-layer connections formed through dynamic interactions among actors such as the village committee, New Urban-Rural Amphibiousness groups, government agencies, and college students, which strengthen resource integration across industries. (2) Actors across all layers jointly act on the obligatory passage. Among them, the New Urban-Rural Amphibiousness groups serve as the main force, and together with the village committee, government, college students, and other participants, they constitute a stable "one superpower with multiple strong players" network pattern, ensuring the smooth operation of industrial integration. (3) This network exhibits a high global overlap rate, strong network resilience, and a high inter-layer correlation index, which enhances the network's ability to withstand external disturbances and promotes efficient resource allocation across layers. (4) Houguan village's circular symbiotic structure facilitates interactive collaboration among different groups across various industries and enables synergistic effects across layers. This structure directly contributes to the formation of an organically integrated development mechanism "agriculture and culture-tourism+ education". The findings aim to offer practical guidance and theoretical support for advancing the "agriculture and culture-tourism" pathway to rural revitalization.
