Cultural Relics Protection in Dayuwan Village

As a valuable material and spiritual wealth, historical and cultural villages are non-renewable and fragile, and once destroyed, they cannot be restored. The protection planning of Dayuwan Village includes material elements and non-material elements.

The material elements are mainly its village pattern and Ming and Qing architecture. Ancient villages are the remains of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they are the carriers of the village's material, spiritual life and regional culture.

According to the definition of the Convention for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage: "Intangible cultural heritage refers to various customs, performances, forms of expression, knowledge and skills and related tools, articles, handicrafts and cultural sites that are regarded as their cultural heritage by various groups, groups and sometimes individuals." Intangible elements are intangible cultural heritage. For Dayuwan Village, the main intangible cultural heritages include local folk customs, folk crafts, festivals, farming culture and geomantic culture.

Protection planning should protect and restore the material basis on which these intangible elements exist in material form. The geographical environment of Dayuwan Village, the unique village pattern of Feng Shui layout, typical traditional buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties and charming folk culture, these natural, artificial and humanistic environmental elements are spatially embodied as nodes, axes and regions, and their organic relations * * * together constitute the village characteristics, and form a complete protection framework through structural organization (as shown in figure 15). The protection framework planning summarizes and refines the traditional characteristics of the famous village in Dayuwan by summarizing the current situation investigation and research, and protects the traditional material space form and historical and cultural connotation of the ancient village as a whole.
