An article titled "Reviving Dying Chinese Villages" published on the website of the US "Foreign Policy" magazine on March 6，There are thousands of traditional villages across China，They are picturesque、Antique，But because a large number of villagers moved to the city，These traditional villages are now on the verge of extinction。Developing 188bet sports betting app download may be able to curb the further decline of China’s ancient villages。

The excerpt 188bet sports betting app download article is as follows:

In Songyang County, Zhejiang Province, South China，There is a remote small village Diaotan Village。188bet sports betting app download village is located on a hilltop covered with bamboo forests，The rammed earth houses are often shrouded in thick fog and looming。The mottled but solid mud walls still surround the ancestral hall, the largest building in the village。

Lanterns hanging in the ancestral hall、With red couplets on it，The stone-paved courtyard is covered with moss and weeds。from Beijing，Architect Xu Tiantian, who came here to help villagers repair old houses, marveled at the tranquil scenery composed of bamboo forests and 500-year-old trees。She said: "188bet sports betting app download is like a peach blossom garden。”

However，Although poetically beautiful，Diaotan and other small 188bet sports betting app download in Songyang County and thousands of traditional 188bet sports betting app download across China，Now it is on the verge of extinction。Although nearly half of China’s 1.4 billion people are still classified as rural，But the government has recently made ambitious plans，Prompt villagers to move to towns，Further increase the urbanization rate。

They hope to alleviate deep-rooted poverty in rural areas through such a program，Shift the economy from its current investment-driven model to one that is largely powered by consumption。But，The large-scale migration of villagers to cities will abandon 188bet sports betting app download buildings and lifestyles。

To help protect small 188bet sports betting app download in Songyang County，The local government invited Tsinghua University、Some architects and professors from China’s top universities such as the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the University of Hong Kong。They wanted small-scale design intervention and renovation，The goal is to rejuvenate dying 188bet sports betting app download，Making them a destination for tourists and painters。

Using small-scale design interventions to influence larger-scale transformation of Chinese 188bet sports betting app download，This line of thinking is reminiscent of the “urban acupuncture” concept espoused by some designers as a way to stimulate change in cities。For example，In Medellin, Colombia，Building libraries and small museums in slums，Hopefully this will restore the vitality of these abandoned areas。Such projects can send a powerful message to residents and officials，That is, these communities are worth investing in。

Luo Deyin, a professor of architecture at Tsinghua University who leads the overall planning of this project in Songyang County, said: "We need to expand our understanding of 188bet sports betting app download。Besides eating and sleeping，There are many activities that could be incorporated into these villages including cultural and creative industries。”

In fact，To attract tourists，Planners need to be creative，Songyang has faced fierce regional competition。This small, remote Zhejiang county is off the beaten track for many tourists looking for "real" 188bet sports betting app download - the most popular being the water towns near Suzhou, Jiangsu Province and some 188bet sports betting app download in the Huizhou region of Anhui Province。

The situation is often，The remote location allows ancient buildings to be preserved but also becomes an obstacle to the development of 188bet sports betting app download。The nearby Hengkeng overlooks the local panorama，Started attracting tourists。One afternoon，A tour bus brought a group of middle-aged amateur painters here，But since there is no place to eat and sleep，They will then return to town。

5 years later，A new high-speed rail station will make Songyang’s connection with the outside world more convenient。However. Local officials also want to avoid extreme commercialization。In many small towns in 188bet sports betting app download，Lots of vendors selling the same crappy trinkets，Squeezing out the local culture that we originally hoped to protect。

Protecting 188bet sports betting app download buildings is technically very difficult。Xu Tiantian, founder of DnA Architects、Imagined by Luo Deyin, professor of architecture at Tsinghua University and several architecture students，Add glass walls and other objects，Provide shelter for an open-air courtyard。

They plan to convert some old abandoned houses into exhibition spaces and a gift shop selling local crafts and providing housing for painters。Some of their designs are，By connecting some small houses，Create large continuous spaces to create public areas such as village centers and libraries。More windows planned，Allowing sunlight into the house that was formerly used as a warehouse。But，While restoring these rammed earth houses，Must maintain a delicate balance，Because the increase in load may cause the wall to collapse。

Except for working in Songyang，Luo Deyin is also one of the experts leading a national project of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development。This project designated traditional village，Hopefully this will provide stronger protection for local buildings。Luodeyin also developed plans to restore traditional buildings in more than 100 188bet sports betting app download。

Rice terraces of the Hani people in Yunnan and Ming Dynasty castle villages in Hebei Province，Everyone has left his footprints。In many villages，He advises officials，Tell them how to maintain the character of traditional buildings while developing 188bet sports betting app download。

As of January 2015，2555 villages in China have been selected into the list of traditional villages，50 of them are located in Songyang County。Luode Yin thinks，If 188bet sports betting app download infrastructure cannot be developed，Many villages in China will have no future。"At this stage，To make an ancient village survive the rapid urbanization process，188bet sports betting app download is the most effective and easiest way。”

However，In many 188bet sports betting app download，The migration of residents is unimaginable，How can these 188bet sports betting app download regain their former vitality！An official in the town said，There is only a narrow winding road leading to Diaotan Village at the foot of the mountain，Although the official population is 400，But it is estimated that only 100 people still live here。Many residents do not think their old houses in disrepair are worthy of praise，Most of those left behind are the elderly and children who are unable to work。

Some locals hope that after Professor Luo Deyin completes his work，There are some young people willing to come back，Do a small business。But，Massive relocation projects underway in many parts of the country have dampened that hope，Villers are moving to new apartments in town，The 188bet sports betting app download industry has not yet had time to develop，There is no way to attract them back。

But，Traditional villages must survive，Developing 188bet sports betting app download still seems to be the best option。Luo Luoyin said: "188bet sports betting app download brings outsiders to these ancient villages，Created opportunities for them to contact villagers。I think，This will ultimately help change villagers’ understanding of the value of cultural heritage，From wanting to demolish old houses to wanting to protect them。”
