Research on the Protection,Revitalization,and Reutilization of Endangered Watchtowers and Traditional Residences in Bayu Area:A Case Study of the Yang Family's Watchtower in Shilong,Banan District,Chongqing
The Yang Family's Watchtowers in Banan District represent the rammed earth watchtowers with Bayu characteristics in the southwestern region of China.As the largest watchtower manor complex in Chongqing,they serve as an important carrier for studying modern society,economy,culture,and architectural folklore in the Bayu area.Given the lack of detailed documentation in previous literature and limited contemporary research,their significant historical and cultural value remains unrecognized.This paper endeavors to explore the cultural characteristics and unique charm of these watchtowers by examining their architectural features and contextualizing them within the local humanities,nature,and geography.Through literature review,field research,surveying,and mapping,the paper analyzes their architectural structures,artistic features,and economic-cultural backgrounds,drawing on established experiences in architectural renovation to provide a theoretical basis for future conservation and revitalization efforts.Regarding revitalization and utilization,the study proposes conservation plans,cultural promotion strategies,and implementation schemes,advocating for the use of new technologies for restoration,promoting rural tourism,and preserving regional cultural connotations.By leveraging favorable ecological conditions to develop rural tourism industries such as homestays and cuisine,the study aims to revitalize idle resources,safeguard historical heritage,and promote rural handicraft traditions while integrating new technologies and forms.It also explores digital empowerment,creating unique IPs,and updating spatial functions through public art.
