Huzhou University’s “Three Going to the Countryside”: taking literature as the foundation and characteristics as the color

?Use text as the base and characteristics as the color

Get on a awning boat, go down the coast, pass through the arch hole under the ancient stone bridge, and admire the black tiles on the shore White walls, feel the changes of light and shadow in summer, this is a typical Jiangnan water town, this is Yigao Village, Huzhou. Yigao, this ancient village that was born because of Yu and prospered because of Hong Kong, is known as the "Pearl of the Yu-Hong Kong Cultural Belt".

? Yigao Village in Wuxing District, Zhejiang Province is adjacent to Taihu Lake. It is a typical spatial pattern generated by traditional villages in the Lugang area of ??South Taihu Lake and Tangpu polder. The century-old trees and white walls with black tiles can be seen everywhere in the village. It has cultural landscapes such as silk culture, fish culture, rice culture, etc., as well as the Qing Dynasty single-hole stone arch bridge "Shangyi Bridge" located in the center of the village, a municipal protection site in the Qing Dynasty Residential buildings such as "Fan's Hall" all give visitors a sense of antiquity.

This visit to Yigao Village benefited me a lot. I have always believed that the most direct result of rural revitalization is economic construction, and the most direct result of economic construction is architecture and environment. However, in the fast-paced modern world, Yigao Village can skillfully retain its ancient buildings and rely on them to vigorously build an antique perfume town and develop tourism. This is undoubtedly a wise move. From this, I think one of the things that needs to be paid attention to in rural revitalization is that rural revitalization needs to be vigilant about "urban community redevelopment". Rural revitalization does not mean blindly "de-ruralizing" in rural architectural design, but should cleverly find Take the right path, create your own characteristics, and preserve the memory of rural culture. Yigao Village has done this, revitalizing the countryside while retaining its unique cultural memory. Its success is worth learning from.

? Rural revitalization should not only develop in the direction of "urbanization", but should find its own cultural characteristics and prevent the loss of rural cultural memory. The purpose of rural revitalization should be to revitalize the countryside, not to regenerate cities.
