She encouraged students to pay attention to regional culture, enhance their perception of spatial scales through field investigations, integrate humanistic spirit and aesthetic awareness into professional techniques, and give play to their professional strengths in social practices such as the "Hundred-Thousand-Ten Thousand Project" and "Rural Revitalization". In-depth exchanges were conducted between teachers and students on the modern transformation of traditional construction wisdom.
