Abstract: This paper focuses on the influence of interregional exchange events on the formation of traditional villages in Northeast China. Through literature review and comparative analysis, this paper identifies five stages of settlement evolution in Northeast China since 916 AD. Based on their evolutionary characteristics, it screens regional exchange events that have had a significant impact on the regional landscape, and then compares and analyzes the timing of these exchange events with the formation of villages. The results demonstrate an objective connection between interregional exchange events in Northeast China and the formation of traditional villages. These events serve as the internal motivation for the emergence and development of villages, and their impact is reflected in the material space of traditional villages, becoming a crucial component of the value element system of Northeast China's traditional villages. Additionally, the occurrence of interregional exchange events is a sufficient but not necessary condition for the formation of villages. The impact of these events on traditional villages is continuous, though its scope is temporally bounded by the historical stage, and its intensity diminishes over time.
