The research constructs the evaluation indicator system for common prosperity and rural recreation industries, uses the entropy weighting approach and obstacle degree model, and quantitatively evaluates the development degree and obstacle degree of common prosperity and rural recreation industries in 30 provinces of China from 2018 to 2025. The next stage in the analysis is that a two-way fixed effect model would be applied to evaluate the influence of common prosperity to the high-quality development of rural recreation industries, and the threshold model will be incorporated to examine the stage effect of common prosperity on the latter. It is established that the general observation is that the index value of common prosperity is low compared to the index value of high-quality development in the rural recreation industries. However, the two indexes have a consistent upward trend. Economic development is regarded as the main obstacle factor from the perspective of common prosperity with an average obstacle degree of 59.57%. Besides, it is also observed that common prosperity helps to advance the high-quality development of rural recreation industries due to the fast movement of productive factors.
