Abstract  Historical and cultural block is an important carrier of Chinese traditional culture. A large number of historical block protection theories derive from architectural studies all around the world. With the indepth interdisciplinary development, scholars in architecture start to realize that the protection of historical and cultural blocks should attach more attention to the relationship between users and buildings. This paper takes historical and cultural blocks as landscapes, and analyzes the meaning inheritance attached to the buildings after changes occurred on their users and usage. This paper takes Xisi historical and cultural block in Beijing as the research area, and adopts Representational theory and Non-representational theory to investigate the local residents' understanding on the significances of this regional architectural entity through questionnaires and interviews. Besides, this paper reflects on the role that have been taken by the locals, and nevertheless, their practical cultural significances. The conclusions of this paper are as follows:Firstly, the representational cultures of Beijing historical and cultural block are basically the traditional etiquette cultures, auspicious and inspirational cultures, ethical cultures embodied in the form of architectural entity. Secondly, the residents living in the historical and cultural block do not fully understand the meaning of the above-mentioned token cultures. Thirdly, apart from the representational cultures, the non-representational cultures from the local residents' body and daily practice are similar to the harmony and the order between traditional etiquette and custom cultures.
