Starting from its accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001, China has experienced 20 years of rapid development, creating an economic miracle rare in human history. It has become the world's factory through the docking of manufacturing into the world's division of labor system, creating a large number of jobs. China has solved the problem of absolute poverty. Through large-scale infrastructure construction, China has also created the hardware conditions to attract investment. Many of China's cities have taken on the appearance of world-class metropolises. However, along with this almost barbaric growth, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor and an unequal distribution of wealth.With the slowdown in economic growth over the past two years, these problems have gradually come to the fore. The most important of these problems is the unbalanced development of urban and rural areas. The disadvantaged position of the countryside is reflected not only at the economic level, but also at the cultural level. Rural revitalization has become an established development strategy of the Chinese government. It is not only the development of industry, but also the need to reshape the local culture in the cultural aspect. The development of traditional Chinese villages is a special part of the rural revitalization strategy. Most of them are still in dire need of industrial development. Some of these villages have excellent scenery and human resources, forming a development model combining agriculture and tourism. "Clear waters and green mountains are as valuable as gold and silver mountains," said Chinese President Xi Jinping, emphasizing such a development model. However, many traditional villages, despite their unique local characteristics and cultural significance, are not large enough to form a tourism economy, and their development is still focused on the agricultural economy. Considering the economic costs and environmental protection aspects, light construction is a valuable topic for rural villages. What kind of light construction should be done? What functional infrastructure is really needed? How to improve villagers' income by promoting the development of agricultural economy through small buildings?As an architect, in this project I am trying to find the angle from which I can discuss the issue of rural revitalization through architecture. At this stage, most of the Chinese countryside is still in need of economic development. I hope that architecture can effectively promote industrial development. In the Yunxi Village project, I try to use architectural tools to analyze and study the situation of the countryside. According to the results of the study, under the premise of underdeveloped rural roads, if the public storage conditions in Yunxi Village are improved, tea farmers can give goods to the goods station in advance, which can effectively improve the logistics efficiency. Therefore, the architectural design is based on this theme and is expected to contribute to the development of the tea industry, which is the most important industry in Yunxi Village.
A partire dalla sua adesione all'Organizzazione mondiale del commercio nel 2001, la Cina ha vissuto 20 anni di rapido sviluppo, dando vita a un miracolo economico raro nella storia dell'umanità. È diventata la fabbrica del mondo grazie all'aggancio del settore manifatturiero al sistema mondiale di divisione del lavoro, creando un gran numero di posti di lavoro. La Cina ha risolto il problema della povertà assoluta. Attraverso la costruzione di infrastrutture su larga scala, la Cina ha anche creato le condizioni hardware per attrarre investimenti. Molte città cinesi hanno assunto l'aspetto di metropoli di livello mondiale. Tuttavia, insieme a questa crescita quasi barbarica, c'è un enorme divario tra ricchi e poveri e una distribuzione ineguale della ricchezza. Con il rallentamento della crescita economica negli ultimi due anni, questi problemi sono gradualmente venuti alla ribalta. Il più importante di questi problemi è lo sviluppo squilibrato delle aree urbane e rurali. La posizione svantaggiata delle campagne si riflette non solo a livello economico, ma anche a livello culturale. La rivitalizzazione delle campagne è diventata una strategia di sviluppo consolidata del governo cinese. Non si tratta solo dello sviluppo dell'industria, ma anche della necessità di rimodellare la cultura locale sotto l'aspetto culturale. Lo sviluppo dei villaggi tradizionali cinesi è una parte speciale della strategia di rivitalizzazione rurale. La maggior parte di essi ha ancora un estremo bisogno di sviluppo industriale. Alcuni di questi villaggi hanno paesaggi e risorse umane eccellenti e costituiscono un modello di sviluppo che combina agricoltura e turismo. "Le acque limpide e le montagne verdi sono preziose come le montagne d'oro e d'argento", ha detto il presidente cinese Xi Jinping, sottolineando questo modello di sviluppo. Tuttavia, molti villaggi tradizionali, nonostante le loro caratteristiche locali uniche e il loro significato culturale, non sono abbastanza grandi per formare un'economia turistica e il loro sviluppo è ancora incentrato sull'economia agricola. Considerando i costi economici e gli aspetti legati alla tutela dell'ambiente, l'edilizia leggera è un tema importante per i villaggi rurali. Che tipo di edilizia leggera si dovrebbe fare? Quali infrastrutture funzionali sono davvero necessarie? Come migliorare il reddito degli abitanti dei villaggi promuovendo lo sviluppo dell'economia agricola attraverso piccoli edifici? In qualità di architetto, in questo progetto sto cercando di trovare l'angolazione da cui discutere il tema della rivitalizzazione rurale attraverso l'architettura. In questa fase, la maggior parte delle campagne cinesi ha ancora bisogno di sviluppo economico. Spero che l'architettura possa promuovere efficacemente lo sviluppo industriale. Nel progetto del villaggio Yunxi, cerco di utilizzare gli strumenti architettonici per analizzare e studiare la situazione della campagna. In base ai risultati dello studio, con la premessa di strade rurali poco sviluppate, se si migliorano le condizioni di stoccaggio pubblico nel villaggio di Yunxi, i coltivatori di tè possono consegnare le merci alla stazione merci in anticipo, migliorando di fatto l'efficienza logistica. Pertanto, il progetto architettonico si basa su questo tema e dovrebbe contribuire allo sviluppo dell'industria del tè, che è l'industria più importante del villaggio di Yunxi.

Abstract
Starting from its accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001, China has experienced 20 years of rapid development, creating an economic miracle rare in human history. It has become the world's factory through the docking of manufacturing into the world's division of labor system, creating a large number of jobs. China has solved the problem of absolute poverty. Through large-scale infrastructure construction, China has also created the hardware conditions to attract investment. Many of China's cities have taken on the appearance of world-class metropolises. However, along with this almost barbaric growth, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor and an unequal distribution of wealth.With the slowdown in economic growth over the past two years, these problems have gradually come to the fore. The most important of these problems is the unbalanced development of urban and rural areas. The disadvantaged position of the countryside is reflected not only at the economic level, but also at the cultural level. Rural revitalization has become an established development strategy of the Chinese government. It is not only the development of industry, but also the need to reshape the local culture in the cultural aspect.
