Features: Traditional ancient villages are the basic units of China's traditional rural society, completely reflecting the social, cultural, and spatial structures of traditional China. Due to historical reasons, the relative isolation and seclusion of these regions allow each settlement to maintain its cultural integrity. Therefore, every ancient village (settlement) is an invaluable historical and cultural heritage for studying traditional Chinese society and history, possessing extremely high research and preservation value. Shili Village is an ancient village that combines the cultures of patriarchal lineage, mountain-dwelling, and Taoism, with a unique type and distinctive features.
