On the 13th, it was learned from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development that China has included 8155 villages with important protection value in the list of traditional Chinese villages for protection. Next, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development requires all regions to further protect and utilize traditional villages, adhere to the principle of protection first, and carry out a series of work such as investigating and evaluating traditional Chinese villages. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development stated that in the process of protecting and utilizing traditional villages in various regions, protection should always be given top priority, and prominent problems such as large-scale demolition and construction, real demolition and fake construction, lack of management and disrepair, and improper utilization should be resolutely corrected. It is necessary to promote the inclusion of traditional villages in the Chinese civilization identification system and organize investigations and evaluations of traditional Chinese villages. At the same time, we need to further promote the revitalization and utilization of traditional villages, continue to carry out centralized and contiguous protection and utilization demonstrations, and make up for the shortcomings of village infrastructure and public service facilities. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development stated that various regions should actively develop traditional village leisure tourism, cultural and creative industries, and continue to carry out "design to the countryside" to improve building quality, safety, and living quality. At the same time, it is necessary to further highlight cultural inheritance, promote the compilation of village history and chronicles, and make the "cultural flavor" of traditional villages stronger. The latest data shows that currently, a total of 8155 villages in China have been included in the list of traditional village protection and have implemented listed protection. 16 provinces have included 5028 villages in the provincial list of traditional village protection, protecting 556000 traditional buildings, inheriting and developing 5965 intangible cultural heritages at or above the provincial level, and promoting the compilation of village history and chronicles for 5518 villages.
