Abstract
This article uses the design analysis and insights of the Weiping Tourism Cultural Street, which the author participated in and practice to discuss how Huizhou culture can be protected and inherited in tourism cultural projects. Through the planning of the buildings of the project and the site planning of the surrounding environment, the formation of public spaces such as traditional streets, traditional theaters, as well as the influence of Huizhou culture on the space and architectural style and details of the building, the article interprets in detail the application of Huizhou architectural design and its traditional cultural connotations in cultural tourism development projects. At the same time, the article also discusses and summarizes the problems encountered in the protection and inheritance of Huizhou culture in the design and development process of the project, which has an enlightening effect on the better integration of the current practice of new Huizhou architecture with the current social and economic environment.
Highlights
Huizhou culture, Dunhuang culture, and Tibetan culture are listed as China’s three major regional cultures
The government’s current primary efforts are put on protecting traditional Huizhou architecture; innovations in designs of contemporary Huizhou architecture are left as a commercial project in most of the cultural and tourism projects invested by private owners
Through local cultural interpretation and experience in tourism projects, it can be better for local people as well as visitors to have a deeper understanding and recognition of the traditionally inherited customs, ethics, and morals behind the architecture that constructs the cultural space of Huizhou.[14]
Summary
Dunhuang culture, and Tibetan culture are listed as China’s three major regional cultures. To protect Huizhou’s culture and promote its inheritance and development, the Huangshan City Government has adopted a series of measures to increase the protection of ancient Huizhou buildings and villages as cultural carriers, such as the “Hundred Villages and Thousand Buildings” project. Researches showed interests and dedications to traditional village culture protection and renewal,[4,5,6] restoration and protection of ancient buildings,[7] the inheritance of tangible and intangible Hui culture heritage, the creation of new Huizhou style architectural design techniques.[8,9] At the same time, it has sparked intense discussions on whether tourism development has “prosperity” or “decline” for rural culture.[10,11,12]. By setting up cultural activities provided by the spatial design as a platform, local people and visitors can better understand and inherit the lost local living and endangered local culture
