After the simply introduction of <Xi'an Declaration>, we made a definition of the surroundings of the historic building. Furthermore, we analyzed four reasons of the necessity of the overall protection of historic building and its surroundings; and we illustrated three new methods of the overall protection. Finally, we draw a conclusion that we must make overall protection on historic buildings and its surroundings; moreover, we need accumulate experience in the process in order to spread history wealth. Introduction As the urban construction is developing in nearly each country, how to deal with the impact city construction has made on the heritage has been an emergent and important problem. On October 21 of 2005, the 15the conference of International Council On Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) published an important agreement named <Xi'an Declaration>. The core of this conference is to advice all countries to intensify the protection of historic buildings, cultural relics together with surroundings. The publication of this declaration is of great practice meaning because it will supply methods, suggestion, and instruction for evaluation, management and protection of the heritage environment. In other words, it became a powerful policy and law for the consistent and effective protection.
