Cultural resources of traditional ancient villages

Traditional villages are regarded as cultural heritage.

If the Chinese nation has a history of five thousand years, these five thousand years are all agricultural civilization. Villages are the distant source and base of our farming life. Today, at least half of China people are still farming and living in this "rural community", having children and enjoying the civilization handed down from generation to generation. Historically, elite culture was born after the emergence of cities, but folk culture, which best embodies the spiritual essence and temperament of the people, has always existed in the countryside.

The disappearance of traditional villages is not only the disappearance of colorful historical creation, cultural landscape, local architecture and material witness in the farming era, but also the disappearance of a large number of folk culture-intangible heritage belonging to villages.
