Aiming at the problem of digital divide restricting farmers’ cultural consumption problem, using 451 survey data from 8 districts of Beijing in 2023, this study uses the instrumental variable method to analyze the impact of rural residents’ digital literacy improvement on rural households’ cultural consumption. The results show that the average level of cultural consumption of rural households in Beijing is 1 489.929 yuan, and the level of traditional cultural consumption is still higher than that of digital cultural consumption. The improvement of the digital literacy of rural residents can significantly improve the cultural consumption level of rural families and has a stronger effect on the improvement of the traditional cultural consumption level. This effect is mainly reflected in the middle-aged rural residents with high digital literacy, high education level and convenient village logistics. The way of this effect is to improve the level of family income, enhance the ability of information acquisition and broaden the social network. After overcoming the endogenous bias, the research results are still robust. Therefore, the government should strengthen digital literacy training, improve the level of cultural supply in combination with group differences, and enhance the rural logistics system to create a good external environment for promoting rural residents’ cultural consumption and help consumption growth.
