Abstract
As a developing country with a long history and rich cultural heritage resources, the protection of urban and rural heritage in China has been experiencing setbacks and failures for a long time. After the past 100 years of questioning and denial of local culture and decades of rapid urbanization, the problems faced by heritage protection and inheritance have been very severe. How do economic development and heritage protection go hand in hand? How to balance the improvement of residents' quality of life and preservation of historical and cultural context? The top-down protection and management methods that have been implemented for a long time in the past have exposed many problems， such as one-sidedness and unsustainability. How to sustainably protect the historical and cultural heritage of urban and rural areas and enable the residents of contemporary cities and villages to truly enjoy these precious heritages is a crucial issue that Chinese society urgently needs to resolve. Urban and rural historical and cultural heritage has not only public attributes, but also personal attributes. Furthermore, heritage should not be identified as the frozen past. It should have the function of improving people's quality of life and be integrated into contemporary urban and rural development. In this work, the author will try to explore the background of the emergence of a large number of emerging middle classes in China and the awakening of national cultural self-confidence. Through soft gentrification, to achieve the necessary self-improvement conditions such as ensuring the economic foundation, enriching cultural self-confidence, reforming lifestyles, and shaping civic awareness. Then protect and revive the precious historical and cultural heritage through the self-improvement actions of the residents. In this process, people are the key actors for changes towards heritages in contemporary urban and rural areas. Use the residents' strength to protect and transform their homes and surrounding environment, integrate the heritage into daily life, and endow the urban and rural heritage with the new connotation of "improving the quality of life". At the same time, it also uses self-improvement behaviors to inherit traditional culture, and forms the internal driving force for the protection and rejuvenation of urban and rural heritage from the bottom up, and preserves precious historical and cultural heritage for their descendants, the nation, and the world.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
