Abstract (in English)

Having developed gradually over time, historic areas embody the values of traditional culture both tangible and intangible. However, the built environment and material culture in historic areas, such as historic buildings, are the absolute center in the protection process in present China, while the conservation of intangible cultural heritage has seldom been carried out consciously. In recent years, with a growing world-wide attention to intangible heritage and the successive publication of Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, Kimberley Declaration and Teemaneng Declaration, conservation for the intangible heritage of historic areas has become a more and more conscious topic in China gradually. With a case study, this paper illustrates the progress in the conservation of historic areas in China, and how the conservation of tangible heritage can also be enhanced through the conservation of intangible heritage, especially with conserving the spirit of historic areas.
