| Assembled Landscapes are unique characterization of Chinese culture spirit and a universal cultural phenomenon of the ancient city.As a cultural phenomenon which spread widely with broad influences,initially widely spread in Chinese cultural circle,then spread to Japan and South Korea.A large number of Assembled Landscapes appeared in the early local history of Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty,during the long period after the Republic of China,then Assembled Landscapes gradually fade from people's view,and after the government built the nation,the government has adopted policies to protect ancient monuments.Along with great importance to Chinese Historical and Cultural City,some governments began to rediscover and promote the Assembled Landscapes culture.With the development of urban tourism,the importance of tourism landscapes gradually increases,which also prompted the government and the people to protect and develop the Eight Scenes culture.This paper attempts to study the spatial distribution of Chinese city tourism landscape as a special tourist attraction under a particular set of cultural background,what role to play in the formation of a tourist destination among imagery,whether it has been as an active constituent elements and logo,image of place to map out by Assembled Landscapes are selected by ancient and modern people along with times.The study takes Assembled Landscapes for example and selects the most famous forty-eight scenes of Jinling which been recorded in a clear form of painting in the history.To conduct spatial orientation and to get six periods of spatial distribution and spatial structure of Assembled Landscapes of Jinling and to use describing parameters,including the mean center and standard deviation ellipse to analysis spatial distribution and spatial variations of Assembled Landscapes from ancient times to modern times.On this basis,through text and visual analysis,the paper desconstructs and reconstructs local imagery elements,and analyses image of place,then further analyses formation mechanism of the perception of this image of place.It indicates that:(1)The spatial distribution of the ancient Assembled Landscapes of Jinling concentrated near the Yangtze River,the Qinhuai River,Zhongshan,and the spatial distribution of new Assembled Landscapes of Jinling is more dispersed.Assembled Landscapes of Jinling(Ming and Qing dynasty)are all located in the south of the Yangtze,and the vast majority of landscapes concentrated in "two lines and the point",which is located within the city walls of the Ming Dynasty.Three new Assembled Landscapes of Jinling scatter after the founding of nation,no longer concentrated in the vicinity of the natural mountains and rivers,but appears outward diffusion,spreading to the outskirts of cities and counties(Jiangbei,Gaochun,Lishui),and showed an increasing trend.(2)The overall spatial trend of Assembled Landscapes of Jinling from ancient times to modern times is from west to east,and the overall trend of change shows outward expansion by the north-south direction.There is a strong association between spatial and temporal variation of Assembled Landscapes of Jinling and urban change.Administrative regions the Ming Dynasty set up lay the basic pattern since the Qing Dynasty,the city is essentially the same pattern in the Qing Dynasty,in Republic of China,to construct the Zhongshan road,with its axis extending from the northwest to the southeast,as the urban road network skeleton.Traffic structure changed significantly,after the founding of nation,Nanjing began to cross the Yangzi river and develop in north area,urban space expanded gradually,the population and social function achieved a rapid development,and no longer concentrated in the south,urban space expanded in three directions,east,north and south,in accordance with the extension trend of Assembled Landscapes of Jinling.(3)The comprehensive image of the Ming city of Nanjing is military strategic location,traffic fortress,centuries-old history and culture.Nanjing become an important military,transportation hub and contested because of advantageous geographical terrain;Nanjing has a long historical vicissitudes and changing times,but also been a place of gathering and nostalgia by men of letters;Nanjing city also has advantages of water conservancy,water transport convenience,thereby becoming part of the regional business development,and also being water routes and transportation hub.(4)Urban Landscape Image of Ming Nanjing City can be classified as channel,node,flag,region and edge.Landscape Image feature of Assembled Landscapes of Jinling deconstructs elements from both text and painting,then establishs scenic view landscape image index system of Assembled Landscapes,combined with the study of landscape elements in deconstructing forty-eight landscapes,which can be carried out in accordance with the Urban Landscape Image Elements Index System,channel imagery elements include stone bridge,stone road,street,etc;node imagery elements include intersections between roads,mountains and rivers of the border points;mark imagery elements include Fenghuangtai,Wuyixiang,fishing boat,waterfalls,hill,towers,pavilions,buildings and so on;regional imagery elements include Rock City,Egret Island,Fang Shan,Purple,flat slope,lake(river)side,shoal,etc;boundary imagery elements include walls,Longjiang,Qinhuai River,stream,mountains and so on.(5)Urban tourism image mapped out by Assembled Landscapes of Jinling have a certain relevance level with natural and geographical conditions,location,city social functions,cultural.Natural and geographical conditions form a natural protective barrier and military defense barrier,a natural river system has become an important material transport routes and an important transportation hub city of Nanjing,the continuation of historical context promote it to form local image.Urban landscape image mapped out by Assembled Landscapes of Jinling have correlation with the property of tourism landscape itself,namely tourism products and tourism resource properties.The main innovation of the paper included innovation of study perspective and research methods,specifically,the paper set geographic analysis of spatial and temporal changes of landscapes and place imagery analysis from the point of view of time and space.And the paper combined qualitative and quantitative research methods to confirm the credibility and validity of the results,specifically,by GIS spatial analysis method and image unit analysis of place image. |
