Abstract:
As the most basic unit of human settlement, the formation and evolution of traditional villages are closely linked to geography, climate, topography, landscape, resource environment, and humanistic context. This paper takes the 'human-land relationship' and 'interperson relationship' as the backdrop for the value formation of traditional villages, and analyzes them in five aspects: environmental response and resource utilization, vernacular construction systems, social organization, external influences and evolution, as well as traditional cultural concepts. Through the analysis of these five aspects, the traditional villages are explored in terms of environmental adaptation and resource use patterns, technical characteristics of vernacular construction systems in the region, settlement structures reflecting the social organizational relationships of villages, regional characteristics, and historical witnesses to inter-regional exchanges. The analysis delves into the values and survival wisdom embedded in traditional villages, focusing on environmental adaptation and resource use patterns, technical features of local construction systems, settlement structures mirroring social organizational ties within villages, historical testaments to the impact of regional interactions, and the living inheritance of traditional intangible cultures.
