中国有“历史文化名城”保护制度，却没有“历史文化名村”保护制度。而在当今现存的人类历史文化遗产中，中国的众多古村落占有十分重要的地位，如皖南徽州的西递村、歙县的棠樾村，浙江永嘉的豫章村、宁海的前童村等。它们被称为“传统文化的明珠”、“民间收藏的国宝”，其 China has a “historical and cultural city” protection system, but no “historical and cultural village” protection system. In today’s existing human historical and cultural heritage, many ancient Chinese villages occupy a very important position, such as Xidi Village in Huizhou in Anhui Province, Tang Village in Shexian County, Yuzhang Village in Yongjia County in Zhejiang Province, the former Tong Village in Ninghai County, etc. . They are called “pearl of traditional culture” and “national treasures of folk collection”
