With the premise of comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization，the rural living environment has been continuously improved.Local governments promote rural environmental improvement from top to bottom and implement projects in accordance with standards such as hardening，brightening and beautification，which have greatly improved the rural environment in many places and significantly improved the quality of life of residents.At the same time，some new problems have emerged.For example，the rural environmental improvement work in some areas is detached from the life of residents，the landscape and life are separated，the rural residents are not organized through the environmental transformation，the subjectivity is weakened，and there is a tendency that the will of rural residents to transform and their own mobility are marginalized.The “ontology turn” of Marxist anthropology highlights the value of “abor”，believing that only an environment that incorporates labor can be transformed from nature to “landscape” and make it more livable.Based on the theory of social actor network，people and the environment are mutually subjective and embedded in each other.In the framework of the trinity of people-labor-landscape，we present a case study of the action process of the rural residents from self-consciousness to self-action around environmental issues，including organizing labor through the construction of associations to stimulate residents’ participation.Building a labor-based distribution mechanism through the construction of cooperatives to ensure that villagers get paid for their work and make labor participation sustainable.In addition，environmental management takes residents as the main part，brings the government，policies，residents，organizations and landscapes into the network of governance tasks，and all subjects negotiate with each other to achieve positive interaction，so that multiple parties rely on environmental management actions to achieve multiple goals.To stimulate their main activities through labor mobilization，rural residents are transformed from “object” to “subject” and from “edge” to “center”in the renovation work，and a platform for collaboration，participation，and common interests is built.In the process of environmental improvement，we can realize the harmony between humanities and nature，with labor as the link，bring into play the value of people as the key factor of productivity，and achieve the mutual promotion of environmental improvement and community governance.
