Abstract

The study suggests that the rural construction of Chongqing, especially the characteristic protected villages, must fully protect and renew the rural landscape and vernacular buildings with regional characteristics. The local protection of the countryside,especially the tradiontal village should be based on the cognition and understanding of the characteristics of the local natural and cultural environment, exploring its inherent cultural heritage and evolutionary drive, guiding the healthy and balanced development of rural landscape systems in the period of economic and social transformation through a systematic and comprehensive methodology. Based on actual rural construction cases in Chongqing, this study explores specific methods for protecting and renewing rural landscapes and vernacular buildings. It emphasizes that conservation and regeneration strategies need to be based on fieldwork and analysis and research. It should integrate local, artistic, multi-party construction and other multiple methods, and optimize the landscape and architectural resources while highlighting the regional characteristics, so that it can inherit the culture and meet the needs of sustainable rural development,and help rural revitalization.
