What is the situation that China has formed the largest protection group of agricultural civilization in the world?

Zhao Hui, chief economist of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said that after four national surveys, China has listed 4 153 villages with important protection value in the list of Chinese traditional villages, forming the largest protection group of farming civilization in the world, and the concept and method of overall active protection of traditional villages are also in the forefront of the world.

With the theme of "Inheriting Civilization and Creating the Future", the conference focused on the protection of agricultural civilization, its inheritance and sustainable development, the protection of traditional villages in China, the protection of traditional villages and heritage, and the new technologies and new ideas for the protection and development of traditional villages.

On July 3 1, Zhao Hui held a press conference of the International Conference on the Protection and Development of Traditional Villages, saying that traditional villages are living cultural heritage and a continuation of civilization, which has important reference significance for contemporary and future human development. However, with the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, a large number of traditional villages have gradually disappeared, and the protection and development of traditional villages has become an urgent historical mission.

Zhao Hui said that from now on, it will enter the second stage of traditional village protection, that is, overcoming difficulties and reviving traditional villages. It is necessary to intensify efforts to protect and repair a large number of dilapidated and damaged cultural heritage, so that poor and backward traditional villages can grow and flourish. At the same time, excellent traditional culture will be carried forward in the modernization drive.

According to reports, in the five years since 20 12, China has basically achieved the goal of the first stage of protection and development of traditional villages, and most traditional villages have been listed as protected objects. Through the support of the central government and the efforts of governments and people at all levels, the four basics have been realized, that is, the cultural heritage of traditional villages has been basically protected, the production and living conditions have been basically improved, the protection and management mechanism has been basically established, and it has basic safety and disaster prevention capabilities.

In terms of establishing a sustainable international cooperation mechanism, Zhao Hui said that it would start international students to enter traditional villages, carry out cooperative research on technical standards for the protection of traditional villages, carry out cooperative research on the "Belt and Road" traditional villages, create an international digital museum of traditional villages, and carry out technical personnel training and scholar exchanges.
