Brief introduction of village structure

Village structure refers to the formation, characteristics and structural elements including organization of village society.

The countryside is a regional society opposite to the city, and residents' lives mainly depend on the primary industry. Generally, the collective consciousness of villages is stronger than that of residents, and they are social areas linked by blood and geography (such as relatives in some villages in China, and immigrants from Shandong or Henan account for an important proportion in some villages). ).

This is because it is the result of long-term evolution from the perspective of constituent elements and their establishment process. Residents depend on agriculture, forestry and aquatic products for a living, and have a strong dependence on land and a strong spirit of mutual assistance. After years of generations, getting married to each other has also had a great impact on their lifestyle and mid-year behavior. Village structure is divided into external structure and internal structure. External structure refers to the synthesis of geographical elements composed of villages.

Such as settlement composition, land use, local conditions and customs, transportation and other issues. Internal structure refers to the social organizations among residents, such as the characteristics of village social composition, blood relationship and geographical relationship, and the relationship with neighboring groups and religious organizations.

Characteristics of traditional villages:

Traditional villages are seriously hollowed out. Traditional villages are faced with problems such as damage to traditional buildings, constructive destruction, insufficient capital investment, still difficult development and shortage of talents and technology, among which hollowing out is the most prominent problem facing traditional villages at present.

(1) 50% of traditional villages are uninhabited. Traditional villages are mostly distributed in poverty-stricken areas in China, especially in mountainous villages in the central and western regions. According to incomplete statistics, the hollowing-out ratio of traditional villages is about 50%, and it is still increasing. The destruction of traditional buildings and nature caused by hollowing out is very serious. Urbanization and industrialization have accelerated the hollowing out of traditional villages. How long can such a house, dilapidated buildings, dilapidated streets and empty villages last? Not for years.

(2) Hollow subverts the humanistic foundation of traditional villages. People in traditional villages have left, and culture has also been taken away. Because the house was uninhabited and no one went to repair it, it was quickly damaged, and hollowing out subverted the humanistic foundation of traditional villages. It is urgent to actively deal with hollowing out. Many traditional village areas are still inhabited, and people who like traditional culture may return to China in the future. We should find practical, effective and feasible solutions.
