Résumé (en anglais)

This paper contains four parts. In Part 1 a discusses involves the significance of the setting concept within Chinese historical culture (the conception of unifying nature and humanity, its derivative FENGSHUI, a term not only physical landscape sense but also the cultural and spirit sense, etc), its particularity comparing to European culture, and its stress suffered from China’s economic and cultural modernization and globalization. In Part 2 an attempt delivers to inquire into the understandings based on different kind of China’s immovable heritage (i.e., static and living, buildings and sites, individual and serial), generalize the characteristics of setting (e.g., natural and man-made, physical and non-physical, strict sense and extended sense, etc), and establish the conceptual structure of settings (components and their relationships, narrow sense and broad sense). Part 3 provides an analysis and evaluation of approaches to the setting in China’s conservation of cultural heritage, e.g. restoration, remove, reconstruction, rehabilitation, adaptation, etc. Part 4 presents a prospect of China’s understandings and approaches on the global term, especially focusing on its universal significance and shortcomings.
