It is known for its traditional agricultural practices, characterized by a harmonious coexistence between people and nature. The traditional architecture, festivals, lifestyles and the interdependence between human and nature can definitely be viewed as rich cultural heritage, which also provides valuable insights into the historical and cultural aspects of rural life in China. The worldwide rapid development has led to an unprecedented urbanization process, which has brought numerous challenges and complexities to the rural-urban landscape in many different countries, including Linpan. I try to revisit the Linpan landscape in modern context with the holistic landscape concept, drawing on other rural heritage landscape preservation and reconstruction methods, keeping pace with the times and adapting to local conditions. At the Linpan scale, on the basis of a thorough understanding of the traditional characteristics of the forest, the functional division of the forest, and the wishes of the residents, Linpan will be transformed to varying degrees and in different directions, while at the same time ensuring that the internal and external circulation, which is a main characteristic of Linpan, will be preserved as much as possible. At the regional scale, the blue-green ecosystem network will be reconstructed to enhance ecological resilience, and the community will be categorized and spatially divided according to the situation and function of Linpan.While preserving the natural ecosystems and revitalizing the traditional way of life in the woodland, I hope this could be a reference example for general rural transformation.
