日前，CCTV-1《山水间的家》播出了南山放牛村的故事，讲述了这个位于重庆市南山风景区北部的村庄如何通过乡村旅游实现农旅融合、城乡融通的乡村振兴。故事背后代表着的不仅仅是一个村庄的变迁，更是乡村振兴战略在南山放牛村的成功实践。乡村振兴是党的二十大报告提出的重要任务之一，旨在推动乡村产业、人才、文化、生态、组织的全面振兴。而乡村旅游作为乡村振兴战略的重要组成部分，对于促进乡村振兴、农业发展和农民增收致富具有非常重要的作用。南山放牛村作为一个典型的乡村旅游示范村，希望通过因地制宜的微更新设计，能够有效改善乡村环境、提高乡村生活质量、促进乡村旅游业发展，进一步推动乡村振兴战略的实施。

Recently, CCTV-1 aired the story of Nanshan Cattle-herding Village on “Homes in Beautiful China”. The narrative depicts how this village, located in the northern part of the Nanshan Scenic Area in Chongqing, achieved rural revitalization through the integration of agritourism, to foster a harmonious blend of rural and urban elements. Beyond narrating the evolution of a singular village, the story epitomizes the triumphant implementation of the rural revitalization strategy in Nanshan Cattle-herding Village. Rural revitalization stands as one of the vital tasks outlined in the report to 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Its objective is to comprehensively rejuvenate rural industries, talents, culture, ecology, and organizations. As an integral component of the rural revitalization strategy, rural tourism plays a crucial role in fostering rural revival, agricultural development, and increasing farmers’ income and prosperity. Nanshan Cattle-herding Village, as an exemplary rural tourism demonstration village, aims to enhance the rural environment, elevate the quality of rural life, and promote rural tourism development through context-specific micro-renewal design. These efforts further drive the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy.

设计背景 Design Background

“依南山北，临长江岸，芳草萋萋，翠林葱葱。晨观空谷云雾，暮赏农家炊烟。禅房通幽径，园林映繁花。呈田园野趣美景，伴钟鼓蛙鸣鸟音……”——放牛村赋 “By Nanshan’s northern side, where Yangtze’s waters flow, verdant grasses thrive, emerald woods a-show. at dawn, misty valleys enchant with their hue, and twilight reveals homesteads’ smoke anew. Zen chambers on tranquil paths reside, gardens mirror flowers in a splendid stride. A rustic countryside’s charm unfolds, serene, with chimes, drums, frogs, and birds’ melodic scene…”.— Cattle-herding Village Ode

放牛村地处重庆市南山风景区北部，因村内有一巨石，形似牛，头向铁山坪，如骑牛放牧而得名。村内山体起伏，遍布各类植物，林木资源丰富，植被覆盖率高，自然生态环境良好。这里还有南山寺、古佛寺以及古树名木等历史文化资源。放牛村以花卉苗木和乡村旅游为主要产业，拥有多个休闲农业园区和民宿集群。

Nestled in the northern reaches of Nanshan Scenic Area in Chongqing, Cattle-herding Village derives its name from a remarkable boulder that resembles a grazing cattle, its head facing Tieshanping. With undulating terrain and a profusion of plant species, the village boasts rich forest resources and abundant vegetation, ensuring a thriving natural ecological environment. Historical and cultural assets like Nanshan Temple, Ancient Buddha Temple, and venerable trees further enrich the locale. Cattle-herding Village thrives on the pillars of horticulture, seedlings, and rural tourism, supported by several leisure agriculture zones and clusters of countryside accommodations.

设计深知只有立足于在地文化的更新改造，才能在这片土地生根发芽。为了进一步发展放牛村，提升乡村旅游的吸引力和竞争力，通过对放牛村在地文化、生态资源、产业结构的分析，设计将目光聚焦于人文艺术之上。希望以艺术和人文为核心，对在地元素进行再创作、再开发和再利用，将艺术与自然、文化与旅游相结合，打造一个独特而富有吸引力的乡村旅游目的地。以艺术作为未来旅游的驱动力，为乡村发展注入新的文化元素和活力。

The design is acutely aware that only by anchoring in the renewal and transformation of local culture can it truly take root and flourish in this land. To further develop Cattle-herding Village and enhance its allure and competitiveness in rural tourism, the focus has shifted towards the realm of humanistic arts. Through an analysis of Cattle-herding Village’s local culture, ecological resources, and industrial structure, the design concentrates on humanistic arts. The intention is to use art and humanities as the core, while engaging in re-creation, redevelopment, and reutilization of local elements, aiming to amalgamate art with nature, culture with tourism, thereby crafting a unique and enticing rural tourism destination. Art is poised to be the propellant of future tourism, which then infuses new cultural elements and vitality into rural development.

设计思路 Design Thinking

With the theme “Art in Nanshan, Even Cattle-herding is Art”, the design leverages the potent role of culture and empowers art. Employing a contemporary visual language, it re-imagines the local backdrop, and undertakes transformative interventions and image enhancements at key junctures. This approach generates comfortable contrasts and dynamic variations, culminating in the creation of the Hillside International Art Village—a seamless fusion of the artistic realm and authentic rural life.

The chosen color palette features a bold and vibrant shade of orange, which provides an immediate sense of vitality and joy in an international context. Building upon this brand image, customized fonts and icon designs unique to Cattle-herding Village are derived. The designs are simple yet dynamic, imbued with whimsicality and artistic flair.

This approach leads to the creation of a comprehensive signage system encompassing overall guides, village entry guidelines, pedestrian direction signs, caution signs, and informative signs. This holistic system serves both functional purposes and enhances the rural tourism experience, facilitating a seamless integration between visitors and Cattle-herding Village.

To elevate the overall cultural and artistic ambiance within the village, the design re-imagines the local backdrop through a contemporary visual language. It introduces comfortable contrasts, dynamic conflicts, and rich variations, to infuse every corner with captivating scenery that is both visually appealing and emotionally evocative. By using fluttering ribbons at the entrance, the design interconnects Cattle-herding Village’s theme, to bridge the past, present, and future. These ribbons not only carry celebratory and auspicious symbolism but also establish a ceremonial sense upon entering the village. Standing in the heart of Happiness Square is a spiritual fortress, where the abstract image of bull horns harmonizes with the “Spirit of the Three Oxen”, conveying the symbols of Cattle-herding culture. The form is akin to a blazing flame, embodying positive enthusiasm and the thriving vitality of growth.
