ABSTRACT

Traditional villages are the "living fossils" of China's rural culture, and they are a valuable and non-renewable asset because of their long history and rich natural and cultural resources, as well as a carrier of Chinese cultural identity and our common cultural memory. However, with the ever-changing technology and modern urbanized lifestyle, traditional villages are facing serious destruction and extinction, and the number of traditional villages is rapidly decreasing in recent years. The protection of traditional villages has become an important issue of general concern for all sectors of society. In this paper, through an in-depth study of traditional villages, we take Xiyang Ethnic Yi as an example, and make full use of local resources to protect traditional villages through tourism development in order to alleviate the current dilemma faced by traditional villages, with a view to finding a set of synergistic development strategies for other traditional villages to learn from.
