RESEARCH & PRACTICAL PROJECTS
1. Village Protection
Since 2013, I have led the planning and implementation of two village conservation initiatives. Key achievements include:
Pingtian Village: Recognized by China’s National Development and Reform Commission (2019) as a national model for rural tourism development.
Xihe Village: Designated a National Eco-Culture Village by the China Eco-Culture Association (2018).
Huanggang Village: Listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage Tentative List.
These projects have established benchmarks for nationwide impact. To date, I have overseen over 50 village conservation and development initiatives across China, including:
Quanfuzhuang Village (Hani Terraces, Yunnan)
Xihe Village (Xin County, Henan)
Pingtian and Jieshou Villages (Songyang County, Zhejiang)
Huanggang Village (Liping County, Guizhou)
Gaoyi Village (Huitong County, Hunan)
Songkou Town and Overseas Chinese Village (Mei County, Guangdong)
[Additional locations formatted as bullet points for brevity].
2. Village Revitalization in Songyang County, Zhejiang
1/Spearheaded preservation efforts during a critical development phase, securing 75 National Traditional Village designations for Songyang.
2/Instrumental in Songyang’s recognition as China’s first:
Traditional Village Protection & Development Demonstration County (MOHURD)
Traditional Village Protection & Utilization Pilot Zone (State Administration of Cultural Heritage)
3/Developed the county’s Master Plan for Traditional Village Conservation.
4/Conceptualized the “County Specimen of Classical China” framework (2015), now a national benchmark for rural heritage preservation.
5/Featured in Foreign Policy and Reference News for innovative methodologies.
3. Conference for the Revival of Chinese Villages (CRCV)
Founded in 2016 with Tsinghua University and the China Poverty Alleviation Foundation, this initiative has pioneered a three-phase “Village Forum” model:
Phase 1.0: Harnessed the catalytic impact of conferences to elevate rural visibility.
Phase 2.0: Institutionalized conference-driven planning to resolve long-standing implementation gaps in village development.
Phase 3.0: Established training-operational linkages to systematize rural revitalization.
To date, 12 national forums have convened 350–500 delegates per session, fostering cross-sector collaboration and emerging as China’s foremost sustainable platform for rural industry innovation.
4. Research on Chinese Vernacular Architecture
China’s vernacular architecture, deeply rooted in agricultural civilization, reflects unique socio-cultural dynamics shaped by:
Clanism (manifested in ancestral halls)
Pantheism (expressed through temple networks)
Keju System (imperial examination infrastructure).
Despite its significance, research remains inadequate, particularly on architecture-society interplay. Rapid modernization threatens these structures, as urban migration patterns introduce incompatible architectural styles, accelerating the demolition of traditional dwellings. The 2006 Building New Countryside policy further intensified this crisis. My work prioritizes the urgent documentation and preservation of vernacular buildings as a generational imperative for scholars.
5. MOHURD Collaborative Research Projects
As a long-term partner of China’s Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, I have directed 15+ policy-shaping initiatives, including:
Technical Guide for Traditional Village Landscape Improvement (2013)
Genealogical Study of Traditional Dwellings (Southwest China, 2014)
Regional Protection Guidelines for Southeast Chinese Villages (2014)
Analysis of Traditional Beam-Lifted Dwellings (2016)
Cultural Value Assessment of Traditional Villages (2017)
6. Digital Library of SRCA
Co-developed Tsinghua University’s digital archive (2000–2003) to preserve materials from the Society for Research in Chinese Architecture (founded 1930 by Zhu Qiqian). Key contributions:
Designed metadata standards for architectural documentation
Cataloged Hong Kong’s traditional architecture (field surveys: 1998, 2000)
Collaborated with Prof. Guo Daiheng on resource systematization.
7. Publications
Nuanquan Ancient Town (2024): Analyzes Ming-Qing commercial hubs via spatial gradient models, revealing resource-driven settlement patterns along the Great Wall.
Research and Practice of Vernacular Settlements (2019): Core textbook for Tsinghua’s Rural Settlement Studies, widely adopted in architecture and heritage programs.
Reading Chinese Villages (2019): Compiles 30+ essays from my Landscape Reading column, offering case-driven insights into rural revitalization.
Castles in Yu County (2007): Documents Ming-era fortress villages, unique relics of agrarian-nomadic conflicts.
The Xianxia Trail (2009): Five-volume study of a 120 km historic trade route linking Zhejiang and Fujian, critical to the Maritime Silk Road.
