The ancient village epitomises different aspects of local social culture, including material, institutional and spiritual. But in the process of the tourism development, people tend to focusing on the material cultural level, especially the buildings, while ignoring the institutional and spiritual culture behind the material. At last, the only thing left is the emptybuilding shell. The characteristics of Tianluokeng earth building group is its magical space layout, four circular earth buildings around a square earth building. It looks like a plum blossom from top-down view as it high and low distribution. But after10years of tourism development, the impression of Tianluokeng village has only left in the appearance of the building. Someone even has just seen a face and left in a hurry. Finally, the effect of tourism economic development is greatly not ideal: On the one hand, as the early shock of the the tourists to earth building has gradually disappeared. On the other hand, they keeped pursuing the cultural experience that the Tianluokeng village buildings have missed. In short, being "empty" in the buildings and culture of the ancient village, coupling with the conflicts of interests between the local government and the villagers, the tourism prospects are worrisome.Based on in-depth field research about this phenomenon, the th esis being concentrated on excavating the authentic local culture via the cultural consciousness, and connecting with the construction of tourism related hardware and software, we finally established appr opriate cultural re-presentations system adapted to local tourism dev elopment and cultural heritage. Putting local traditional culture in to urism construction platform through the reusing and reconsideration of traditional culture in tourism, we also need to emphasiz the char acteristics of regional culture in tourism development in order to ac hieve economic development and cultural protection of the win-win goal.
