  • What do we need to pay attention to while renovating these blocks?

  • How can they shine in the modern time while maintaining the historical value?

  • To start with, let's give the definition of historical blocks a little bit of time.

  • What exactly is a historical block?

  • Yeah, actually, we do have an official definition about this historical and cultural blog, and that's according to the regulations on the protection of famous historical and cultural cities, towns and villages issued by China's state council in 2008.

  • And according to this official definition, historical and cultural block refer to areas announced by governments of different level and with the preservation of particularly rich cultural relics.

  • And they should have concentrated historical buildings, and particularly historical cultural block should reflect the traditional rigging patterns and historical features relatively in an authentic way.
