Ancient Xuzhou Houses in China: Cultural Memory , Symbol and Process Reconstruction in the Context of Rural Revitalization

Abstract

With the current rapid development of urbanization, Chinese villages are facing the threat of gradual disappearance, both in terms of physical form and cultural inheritance, and the nostalgia in society is getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, in the context of rural revitalization, using the symbols and cultural memories carried by ancient houses to inherit local civilization in contemporary residences is conducive to arousing villagers' awareness of the protection of local culture. Enhance villagers' passion for inheriting and innovating local culture, and rejuvenate the village's vitality. Therefore, this paper adopts a qualitative research method and sets four research objectives.

This paper first starts by studying the geographical environment and historical changes of ancient Xuzhou houses, and sorts out the origin and development process of ancient Xuzhou folk houses.

Secondly, through the research and analysis of cultural memory. We can better understand the formation of individuals and social groups' sense of identity and belonging to the culture to which they belong. Discuss methods of transmitting spatial memory in residential buildings.

Third, by analyzing the meaning of residential symbols. We are able to deeply understand not only the visual and aesthetic value of ancient houses, but also their profound impact on the cultural and social levels.

Finally, the reconstruction process of Liyushan Village in Xuzhou is analyzed. The results show that during the reconstruction process, contemporary folk houses convey local memories to people through the implantation of symbols and arouse villagers' awareness of the protection of local culture. More and more villagers intend to return to the countryside and contribute to the protection and spread of rural development
