Research On Thoughts And Practices Of Landscape Construction In The Taihu Basin Based On Water Environment Management Of Ancient Chinese Literatus Scholar-bureaucrat

The water environment is closely related to the development of cities and the formation of regional culture in the Taihu Basin.As the Taihu Basin is densely covered with rivers and lakes,water is the basic element of people's production and daily life,making the interaction between people and water run through the history of the Taihu Basin.The traditional regional landscape of the Taihu Basin is shaped by the combination of water environment management and landscape construction.In this process,ancient literatus scholar-bureaucrat,through their own knowledge systems and cultural and artistic accomplishments,have formed a set of integrated water environment management and landscape construction theory systems with a high degree of humanistic care and aesthetic conception through a large number of water and soil remediation and landscape construction practices,who have played an important role in the construction of traditional human settlements.From the perspective of landscape architecture,by analyzing ancient and modern literature studies,field investigation and graphical analysis,this paper studies the water environment management of literatus scholar-bureaucrat in the Taihu Basin and the landscape construction practice combined with it,and explores their landscape construction ideas and characteristics based on water environment management.Specifically,the article first analyzes the identity characteristics and related cultivation standards of the ancient Chinese literatus scholar-bureaucrat,in order to clarify the relationship between the literati and the construction activities;then combs the history of water environment management and landscape construction by literatus scholar-bureaucrat in the Taihu Basin from four stages,before the Sui Dynasty,Sui,Tang and Wudai Dynasties,the two Song Dynasties,the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.Then,the paper systematically interprets the theory of landscape construction based on water environment management of literatus scholar-bureaucrat,which is,a coupling theoretical system of consists of water conservancy construction,agricultural planning and urban landscape construction.Water conservancy construction includes three basic strategies:rivers dredging,embankment and dam construction;agricultural planning includes overall planning of zoning land use based on hydrological characteristics,farmland planning based on flood control and water demand;urban landscape construction combining with water environment management includes the construction of water-adapted urban landscape,the transformation of water conservancy facilities with gardening landscaping techniques,the exploration and integration of natural and human landscapes with poetry,painting and the creation of eight views.On this basis,the article takes Su Shi,Chen Yiqian and Xu Yaoguang as examples to analyze the differences and similarities in construction thoughts at different scales,environments and needs through studying their water environment management and landscape construction practices in Hangzhou,Pinghu and Jiaxing.Finally,the paper summarizes the characteristics of landscape construction thoughts based on water environment management,and explores the modern value of the traditional experience of ancient literatus scholar-bureaucrat aiming at the problems in today's urban and rural construction in China,thus providing a reference for today's human settlements construction.
