Introduction
Beizhe New Village belongs to the mountainous area, and the buildings here are basically traditional Tuzhang houses. There are many mountainous rural areas in Yunnan Province that are similar to Beizhe New Village. The palm houses are gradually replaced by modern brick-concrete buildings, and the living comfort of modern brick-concrete buildings is often not as good as that of traditional earth palm houses, and consumes more energy, which also creates a situation of thousands of villages. It is precisely based on the nostalgia of the villagers in Beizhe New Village, and the reality that traditional earth palm houses are gradually being replaced by high-energy-consuming brick-concrete buildings. We want to use Beizhe New Village as a place to protect traditional earth palm houses and promote new rammed earth technology It provides a demonstration site of rammed earth technology for the vast impoverished mountainous areas of Yunnan and even the entire Chinese villages and towns, which is conducive to the renewal and protection of traditional rammed earth dwellings.

Impact
The project will serve as a technology demonstration site for the entire mountainous countryside in Yunnan and even the entire Chinese township. This will provide technical support for the protection and renewal of traditional soil palm houses, and help the protection and renewal of traditional soil palm houses, thereby protecting the style and appearance of traditional villages. In addition, it will also help to change the current situation that high-carbon-emission building materials are commonly used in village and town buildings, thereby reducing carbon emissions in rural buildings.
