What is the warning behind the burning of the last primitive tribe in China?

On February 20021February 14 17, a fire broke out in the old village of Weng Ding Cun, Meng Jiao Township, Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County, Lincang, Yunnan Province, and almost all the villages were burned down. The commercialization of Sun Hua, a professor at Peking University Institute of Archaeology and Culture, is one of the reasons for the Onding fire. At the same time, commercialization has also caused the hollowing out of villages. For various reasons, many villages were hollowed out because young people left the village, and there was a lack of proper manpower to put out the fire. Rural grass-roots social organizations are scattered, traditional self-organization hardly exists, and other organizations are not effective enough, so it is difficult to deal with fires in an emergency.

However, there are many basic factors for frequent fires in traditional villages in southwest China: wood is widely used in village building materials, which is easy to catch fire and difficult to put out once it spreads; There are many fire sources that may cause fires in the village. Not only continue to use the traditional fire pit, but also increase the electric fire source. Once ignored, it is easy to catch fire. Lack of fire-fighting resources and facilities, difficulty in ensuring fire-fighting water, outdated fire-fighting equipment and lack of regular drills make it difficult to effectively prevent and put out fires.

Sun Hua revealed that due to the solidification of homestead rights, villagers built houses at will, the number of housing groups, housing density and housing volume in the village increased continuously, and the traditional fire isolation zone basically disappeared.

"Blind development of rural tourism will increase the floating population in the village. If smoking and other behaviors are not effectively prohibited, it is easy to cause fires. " Sun Hua said that the protection of traditional culture is still a difficult problem, and targeted measures must be taken to prevent existing problems.
