Research On The Heritage Protection Of The Cultural Route Of The Tea Road(Hunan) Based On Spatial Syntax Method

The Tea Road is another important international commercial road that has risen in the Eurasian continent after the decline of the Silk Road.It crosses Mongolia from the southern Chinese tea production area to the north and reaches the Sino-Russian border business port Chuktu and extends to Moscow.It is the main channel for the East-West trade during the 18th-19 th century.With the unveiling of the joint application for the eight provinces of the tea ceremony,the protection of the heritage of the cultural route has gradually gained attention,but there is still lack of theoretical methods in the protection of cultural routes.At present,the only heritage conservation theory lacks actual spatial quantitative analysis.Therefore,most of the research is qualitative and has not been put into practice.Therefore,the protection of cultural routes has encountered many difficulties in practical planning and protection.Hunan,as a key point in the tea-producing section around Dongting Lake,which is known as "Tea township".As an important tea production-node on the Tea Road,it is of great significance to effectively sort out and research the heritage of the Hunan section of the Tea Road.So,the paper attempts to introduce the concept of "Spatial Configuration" in the exploration of the protection methods of cultural route heritage.From the perspective of space,the spatial structure between each heritage site is further explored,and a quantitative method of spatial relationship analysis is used to provide new methods and ideas for the protection of cultural heritage.While analyzing the spatial structure characteristics of the heritage of the Tea Road,Integrating the isolated resource of tea culture,and using the related analysis methods such as spatial configuration were used to analyze the distribution characteristics of the heritage sites and the spatial relationship between them,and establishing an overall heritage space open system based on the historical background of the tea ceremony,which is very important for the protection of the construction heritage of the Hunan section and the harmonious development of the regional culture.From the macro perspective,the important tea culture nodes in the Hunan section of the Tea Road are combed and integrated,which provides a reliable basis for establishing the protection strategy of the Hunan section of the Tea Road.
