In rural areas such as Chenzhou in Hunan, Fuzhou in Jiangxi, and Lishui in Zhejiang, numerous old uninhabited houses have undergone urgent repairs, protection, and rational utilization. Their old appearance has been transformed into high-quality homestays, research bases, village history exhibition halls, and agricultural product exhibition halls, bringing attention and flow of people to the village, and activating the vitality and vitality of revitalization and development. One by one, ancient villages with complete patterns are embedded in the green mountains and waters, providing an important spatial carrier for the historical memory and cultural heritage of a place, and also allowing people's leisurely homesickness to be placed. In recent years, rural tourism has continued to be popular and highly favored. More and more people are bidding farewell to the hustle and bustle of cities, returning to the peaceful and leisurely countryside to experience slow life, experiencing folk culture up close, and relieving troubles and pressures amidst the green mountains and waters, the chirping of insects and birds. According to calculations, the reception volume of rural tourism in China exceeded 3 billion people in 2019. The popularity and development potential of "slow tourism" in rural areas are impressive, and behind it is the accelerated revitalization efforts of old houses in villages, as well as the butterfly transformation of the entire ecological system, including architecture, culture, and business formats, that has been initiated. The old houses scattered in thousands of rural areas have gone through the erosion and baptism of time, witnessing the changes of history and silently conveying messages from time. With the continuous advancement of China's urbanization process and the acceleration of population mobility, many old houses have been left unused or even forgotten, and have become increasingly dilapidated due to years of disrepair. This not only buries safety hazards, but also affects the living environment and restricts the development of rural areas. The economic and cultural value of the old house is not unknown, but the funding alone has persuaded many people to retreat. The number of old houses is numerous, and the protection task is heavy. Most of them belong to residential buildings and low-level cultural relics, and some are difficult to transform into climates. To transform them into large areas, the manpower and financial resources required are not small. How to solve these problems and make the old house resources visible and revitalized has become a key issue. Only by unlocking this challenge can we steadily meet the new demand for experiential tourism, and also meet the beautiful expectations of villagers to improve their lives and achieve rural revitalization. Anatomy of successful samples of old houses in multiple places for revitalization, exploring feasible paths to realize the value of ecological products, awakening dormant resources, is of great significance and value in opening up a new era of rural development. In 2022, the implementation of the "Action to Save Old Houses" was written into the No. 1 central document of the Central Government, which is both an incentive and a spur. Innovate institutional mechanisms and guide more social entities to participate in protection. As a living organism, the old house will naturally age and accelerate, and every loss they make will be a permanent loss. Saving the old house is urgent. But to make the interlocking gears of protection and utilization rotate, the power of a single villager or even a village alone is not enough to start, and more social forces need to participate together. We need to innovate financial support, guide and promote the exploration of centralized transfer of relevant resource rights and interests, dredge up the flow of funds, activate creative vitality, establish and improve the mechanism for realizing the value of ecological products, thereby enhancing the development value of cultural, tourism and other resources, and expanding new development space. Only protection without development is ultimately unsustainable. Utilization is the best protection. Saving an old house should not be a formalin style death penalty, only by activating and utilizing it can it truly come to life. Many old houses, due to the construction time
