There are so many quotes in the book that are difficult to understand without context. A lot of literary content appears in the book, and the book even ends with Ricker's poem, which seems inappropriate for an academic book. What impressed me most were the words related to houses in the hieroglyphics: room, home, house, capital, palace, etc. Regarding the protection of ancient villages, it is indeed necessary to make the village a living village. The ancient village is a relic of the agricultural era. Nowadays, farming is no longer common in the countryside, and clan dependence is no longer so important. Can this village still exist? The town where my home is located is also an ancient town, and I have a similar experience.
