Abstract:Nostalgia calls for the return of people's emotions. To retain nostalgia means to retain human feelings. The protection and development of traditional villages is to keep the nostalgia of history and time. Based on the analysis of nostalgia and image of traditional villages, this paper takes Longchuan village of Jixi County as a case to analyze the image system of cultural tourism in Huizhou traditional villages. In the process of system construction, the image system and image consensus map of Longchuan cultural tourism are deduced and summarized by using Zaltman metaphor elicitation technique(ZMET). Finally, from the perspective of nostalgia image, this paper summarizes three cultural tourism development strategies of Longchuan, including protecting image elements, promoting image space construction and optimizing image experience mode, which can also provide reference for the development of cultural tourism in other Huizhou traditional villages.
