Against the backdrop of the full implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, achieving effective governance serves as a pivotal measure to consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation and advance the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. China boasts a profound accumulation of township sage culture, which provides valuable resources for enhancing the efficiency of rural governance, while the empowerment of digital technology acts as a driving force for rural development. However, there currently exists several issues in the digital collaboration between the participation of new township sages in rural governance and rural digitalization, such as ambiguous identity positioning, unsmooth communication channels, and inefficient resource integration, stemming from the lack of a normalized communication mechanism and the lag in technological empowerment. This study focuses on the construction of a digital collaboration mechanism, aiming to explore how to utilize digital tools to build a digital collaboration platform for new township sages’ participation in rural governance. This research seeks to expand the breadth, depth and effectiveness of their participation, create a smooth and sustainable governance environment, and stimulate the driving force for rural revitalization.
