Abstract: Traditional villages, as a space to carry China's excellent traditional culture, are non-renewable and irreplaceable historical and cultural heritage resources, which have attracted the attention of the government and academic circles. The main theme of rural China with homesickness and memory as the core has made the revitalization of traditional villages a consensus for inheritance and development, protection and utilization. Based on the cognition that the development of traditional villages depends on the interaction of internal and external driving forces, 95 national-level traditional villages in Huizhou area are selected to carry out empirical analysis and construct a PLS-SEM evaluation model of the factors affecting village development. The results show that the main resources of the village play a leading role in the development, external policies, markets and other factors play a regulatory role, and supporting facilities and regional physical and geographical conditions are the supporting basic elements for the development of traditional villages. The premise of the revitalization of traditional villages is to meet the functional needs of space and the spiritual needs of culture. It needs to be based on respecting the natural environment, and implement the revitalization by tapping the potential of the main body's resource endowment and favorable policy guidance. The fundamental path is to realize the spatialization of cultural attributes through construction, and to complete the spatialization of social attributes through ‘the reciprocal mechanism’.
