A Glimpse of Xinye Village Provided by the Municipal Construction Commission
Ancient villages, new vitality. Recently, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development and the Ministry of Finance announced the list of demonstration counties (cities, districts) for centralized and contiguous protection and utilization of traditional villages in 2023. Jiande City, Hangzhou, was listed as the only city in the province to be included in the list.
In recent years, under the guidance of provincial and municipal policies and institutional guarantees, Jiande has comprehensively strengthened the protection and utilization of traditional villages within its jurisdiction, established a special work leadership group, fully completed the digital filing of historical buildings, improved the intangible cultural heritage protection and inheritance system, established a multi-party participation mechanism, and promoted the integration of traditional village material space protection and utilization with non genetic inheritance contracts.
We have implemented comprehensive listing protection for historical buildings in traditional villages, accelerated the progress of repairs, and effectively curbed the damage to ancient buildings and residences. On the basis of protecting the original texture of the village, we have also fully considered and met the modern production and living needs of villagers, made every effort to make up for the shortcomings of the village’s supporting infrastructure, and accelerated the construction of resettlement houses and various public service facilities, not only ‘protecting the local soil’ but also ‘retaining the villagers’ According to the relevant person in charge of the Housing and Urban Rural Development Bureau of Jiande City, a total of 36 traditional villages at the national, provincial, and municipal levels within the jurisdiction have been comprehensively protected according to the village site selection pattern and overall style. The number of indigenous people in each traditional village exceeds 60%.
Adhering to the principle of “promoting preservation through use”, Jiande continues to explore the activation and utilization of traditional villages and traditional buildings in multiple modes, promoting the deep integration and development of agriculture, culture, and tourism. It also uses comprehensive and integrated museum style protection methods to carry out the museum project of traditional villages, creating “living” ancient villages for preservation and development. Under the leadership of the government, Xinye Village in Daciyan Town will renovate and fully utilize traditional residential buildings, ancient ancestral halls, and other cultural displays and experiences, develop parent-child and research tours, and promote the realization of enriching the people and strengthening the village.
Wen Sheng, Ye Xing, Ren Lai, Cun Huo… Jiande’s new path of traditional village protection and revitalization is a wonderful epitome of the city’s traditional village protection and development work.
As a famous historical and cultural city, Hangzhou has a large number of traditional villages and historical buildings within the village area, with a total of 166 traditional villages, including 65 at the national level, 63 at the provincial level, and 38 at the municipal level.
The Municipal Party Committee and Government attach great importance to the protection of traditional villages and rural historical buildings, and have included them in the construction scope of the ‘Hundred Village Demonstration and Thousand Village Renovation’ project. Special funds have been established, protection plans have been formulated, legal protection has been strengthened, and a full process and standardized work system has been formed to promote the coordination and progress of cultural heritage protection, people’s livelihood improvement, and enriching and strengthening villages. “The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Construction Commission introduced, using villages as the platform and culture as the background Creativity is the leader, and innovative means such as project construction, event planning, and live streaming sales are used throughout the city to highlight the uniqueness and uniqueness of traditional villages, continuously enhancing their visibility and influence, and stimulating the spontaneous iteration momentum of village life organisms.Renew vitality.
As of now, the city has invested nearly 1 billion yuan in rescuing and protecting more than 2000 endangered local buildings. Through the use of “old homes”, a large number of “internet famous villages” have emerged. For example, Lou Jia Ta Village in Lou Ta Town, Xiaoshan District focuses on showcasing ancient culture, forming a picturesque, picturesque, and distinctive tourist scenic line, attracting year-round tourists; Dongziguan Village, Changkou Town, Fuyang District, has become an excellent footnote for the modern version of the “Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Map” due to its unique Hangzhou style residential style being “out of the circle”.
Beads form a chain, from point to surface.

We will accelerate the construction of a unique digital system for traditional villages and historical buildings in Hangzhou, continuously improve the protection system for rural historical and cultural heritage, and actively explore a diversified model of centralized and contiguous protection and utilization of traditional villages with different geographical conditions, cultural characteristics, and development levels. The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Construction Commission stated that we will comprehensively leverage the historical and cultural heritage, natural environment, and green ecology of traditional villages With the advantages of characteristic resources such as rural scenery, we will coordinate the construction of infrastructure, public service facilities, and the layout of characteristic industries, and strive to build a livable and beautiful countryside at a high level.
