Via their analysis the authors put forward the following opinions: the key to significance is development, the key to develop-ment is countryside, the main body of overall planning is government, these are 3 key points for understanding the concept of the overall planned development of urban and rural mass sports. The overall planned development of ur-ban and rural mass sports is provided with such 4 characteristics as “generally and particularly coexisting” in terms of object, “chronically and instantaneously presenting” in terms of time, “interactively and spontaneously com-bined” in terms of manner, and “equally and differently considered” in terms of effect. In the actions of implement-ing the overall planned development of urban and rural mass sports, we should: 1)securely establish such a concept of action as that the development of rural mass sports has a bright future; 2)strengthen the construction of a mecha-nism of operation between multiple departments guided by the sports department; 3)value the fundamental functions of school physical education in the overall planned development of urban and rural mass sports; 4)pay attention to the blending of the concept of symbiosis into measures for development.
