Due to its unique terrain and rich natural and ecological resources, the mountainous areas of northern China have given birth to rural material and intangible cultural landscapes with distinctive mountain cultural characteristics. These landscapes are not only witnesses of the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, but also deeply reflect the closely connected relationship between man and the natural environment. Relying on the wisdom of human beings to self-adjust and change the natural environment, the cultural landscape of mountainous villages has a profound historical and cultural heritage, significant regional characteristics, and the value of integrating with nature.

However, with the rapid development of China's economy and industry, the urbanization process has had a profound impact on mountainous villages. Most villages are gradually being swallowed up by the city and becoming part of the city. This phenomenon is actually a manifestation of the cultural crisis. Against this background, part of the cultural landscape of mountainous villages began to change, and its original appearance and meaning were gradually replaced by new elements. These changes are a stage in cultural changes and changes in meaning, leaving a profound imprint.

During the changes in village culture, some landscapes with significant value have become an important part of the country's cultural power strategy. Therefore, the government specially selected these villages and gave them the honor of "national traditional villages", aiming to promote the restoration and improvement of their cultural values ​​through relevant policies. This initiative reflects the fact that it is difficult for any village or social unit to fully meet all the functional needs of people in the environment. At this time, the state exerted its cultural and political power and used policies and other means to give the villages specific meaning and memory, showing strong binding force.

Subsequently, the government used various strategies such as tourism development, education promotion, and multimedia publicity to reuse the value of the village's cultural landscape and further promote the revitalization and development of the village. In this process, the village not only improved its social value, but also created significant economic and educational value. The realization of these new values is based on the rediscovery and reuse of the value of old things.

It is important to note that nothing that existed in the past can remain the same forever. As times change and people's needs change, the meanings and functions of these things also need to be adjusted accordingly. In order to adapt them to the needs of the new era, they must be transformed so that they retain their original form while giving them a new meaning. In this way, the village cultural landscape can shine more brilliantly in the new era.
