This study focuses on 67 counties in Guangdong Province, China, and investigates the spatial distribution patterns, regional differentiation characteristics, functional zoning of rural areas based “Production–Living–Ecological” (PLE) synergy theoretical framework. Multiple quantitative methods, including entropy method, concentration degree, identification, were employed. Key findings include: (1) Rural functions exhibit significant heterogeneous evolution. Production have generally weakened, showing a pattern “consolidation south decline north”. Ecological demonstrate U-shaped recovery trend, with high-value concentrating around Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration, indicating effective ecological protection policies. Living continue to due population mobility imbalanced public services. (2) Structural transformation function types occurred: Weakly integrated decreased (2010–2019), dual type (production–ecological living–ecological) significantly increased, ecology-dominant predominated, highlighting polarization under policy interventions. (3) Functional evolution is driven by terrain gradients, regulation, industrial relocation. The research provides empirical evidence for optimizing territorial governance coordinating urban–rural development. Recommendations include promoting dynamic PLE balance through high-standard farmland construction, industrialization cultivation, cross-regional compensation mechanisms facilitate revitalization sustainable
