Abstract

The protection of rural traditional ancestral halls is currently facing severe challenges in the process of rapid urbanization. Aiming at the practical difficulties of traditional ancestral halls, such as the decay of building materials, the damage of building structure, the disappearance of construction techniques, and the destruction of context and environment, this paper analyzes the contemporary value of traditional ancestral halls in traditional villages by taking Baini Village in Tongshan County, Hubei Province as an example. The research points out that the stability of building materials and structures can be improved through the rescue restoration of traditional ancestral halls;the ancestral halls and traditional villages should be integrated into the overall protection and revitalization through strategies such as integration of traditional ancestral halls and villages, integration of new and old, and integration of production and villages, so as to promote the revitalization of rural culture and provide endogenous power for the sustainable development of traditional villages, and provide reference for the future protection of rural architectural heritage.
