Rural area is a complete and organic system. The whole system is driven by different external and internal forces, so as to continuously develop and evolve. When planners and architects work in rural field, they should deeply understand this system, uphold the concept of sustainable development and operate carefully. Taking shouchangsi village in Fuping County and maopu village in Xinxian County as cases, this paper discusses sustainable rural design from three levels. First of all, at the level of planning and layout, the article puts forward the planning thought of " Extract the principle " and " Follow the context". Before planning and design, through a large number of on-site investigations, excavate the original village planning concept and layout idea; In the process of planning and design, conform to the construction logic and spatial context of the village and let it grow organically under the constraints of natural and social conditions. Secondly, at the level of architectural design, pay attention to the transformation and reuse of existing abandoned buildings in the village, and encourage the preservation of space characteristics and traditional style and the inheritance of local construction skills; Third, at the level of landscape design, pay attention to the extraction and reproduction of " rurality ", so as to better retain the regional and cultural characteristics of the village.
