Abstract: Through practice, the assets-based community development model has become a widely accepted practice model of community development. Based on existing theories and practice achievements, there are four approaches to understand the asset-based community development model: asset-building approaches, rights-based approaches, community driven development approaches and community strengths approaches. Different theoretical and practical approaches result in different community development ideas and directions. In the era of post-poverty alleviation and the current era of rural revitalization, the asset-based community development model gives us at least four important inspirations. First of all, the perspective of looking at rural areas and poor farmers should change from a problem-orientated to a strength perspective. Secondly, we should cultivate the subjectivity of rural and poor people; Thirdly, strengthen the construction of a positive support network within and between communities. Fourthly, try to explore the innovative application of financial methods in anti-poverty.

Key words: assets-based, community development, practice approaches, rural revitalization, post-poverty alleviation
