Résumé en anglais
Having developed gradually over time, historicareas embody the values of traditional culture both tangible
and intangible. However, the built environment and materialculture in historic areas, such as historic buildings, are the
absolute center in the protection process in present China,while the conservation of intangible cultural heritage has
seldom been carried out consciously. In recent years, with agrowing world-wide attention to intangible heritage and the
successive publication of Convention for the Safeguarding ofthe Intangible Cultural Heritage, Kimberley Declaration and
Teemaneng Declaration, conservation for the intangibleheritage of historic areas has become a more and more
conscious topic in China gradually. With a case study, thispaper illustrates the progress in the conservation of historic
areas in China, and how the conservation of tangible heritagecan also be enhanced through the conservation of intangible
heritage, especially with conserving the spirit of historicareas.
