| Currently our country is vigorously developing cultural industries,thus in this context such ancient towns that contain rich cultural resources have become as focus of various sectors. In recent years through the reality that approved amount of historical and cultural towns and villages shapely increased,we can conclude the development efforts of ancient towns’ cultural sources have increased throughout the country, meanwhile the protection and update of ancient towns also becomes a hot research topic. In the town renovation process, we found that the first priority of interests of business development activities always leads to cultural extinction,besides there is a more covert cultural vandalism, resulting in weakened even extinct cultural characteristics of the ancient towns, and that is the behaviors only to protect the material relics as the core of the ancient town, ignoring the town cultural characteristics and folk customs.It may seem to get rid of the embarrassing situation of so called “Different town show the same appearance”,while creating another embarrassing situation of “Different town, though they have different appearance, But they show the same culture”. Material and cultural relics are precious, because the material and cultural relics show the rich cultural connotations. Both cultures show not only in the courtyard of the streets, but also demonstrated in daily life.
