"Everyday Heritage" Perservation in China The Case Study of Liyuanba Village in Sichuan Province

In the context of rural revitalization, many traditional dwellings are neglected due to a lack of institutional recognition. The life practices and cultural memories carried by these dwellings are difficult to protect. To respond to this problem, this paper introduces the concept of "everyday heritage" to re-examine the value of traditional dwellings and to explore restoration strategies that are more suitable for them. Through literature review, case study comparison, and survey in Liyuanba Village in Sichuan Province, the study analyzes the differences and complementarities between official heritage and everyday heritage. It summarizes the experiences of low-intervention restoration and functional reuse in international cases, and identifies the everyday values of Liyuanba's traditional houses in terms of construction features and spatial memory. Based on this research, this paper proposes feasible strategies such as family memory archives, low-intervention restoration, and resident participation. These strategies aim to shift traditional dwelling conservation from government-led actions to community cooperation, allowing traditional dwellings to continue and regenerate even under limited resources. The study argues that the everyday heritage perspective can effectively supplement the limits of the current heritage system and offer a more localized and life-oriented path for protecting traditional dwellings. Future research can be further developed through cross-regional comparison, digital technology applications, and improved participation mechanisms.
