Research On The Formation Of The Defensive Settlement Of Yangjiaoshui Castle In Southern Jiangxi

Because the defensive settlements are in a state of extreme decline in the social and economic development,the military defensive settlements in southern Jiangxi remain relatively small and severely damaged.Currently,only the Yangjiaoshui Castle remains in the guards in southern Jiangxi,and the Yangjiaoshui Castle is the only large-scale and Well-preserved military settlements of the Ming Dynasty.Its space and architecture have strong defensive features.This article combs the history of military defense in Jiangxi southern Jiangxi,and provides a background basis for the study of the settlement of the Yangjiaoshui Castle.And explore the influencing factors in the process of its formation,and it is clear that the formation of the space form of the settlement of the Yangjiaoshui Castle is the result of the interaction of natural environment,social culture,political military and economic factors.Because of the geographical limitation of the Yangjiaoshui Castle in the hundreds of years of development,it was unable to expand its scale and turn to a large town.Therefore,it completely retains the original form and the characteristics of each historical period since the Ming Dynasty was built.Over the centuries,it has gradually developed from a local military guard station into a family village.In the process of transformation and integration,unique local characteristics have emerged.The settlements are both militarized and influenced by the clan.This article uses space syntax to quantitatively analyze the spatial form of settlements and interpret the overall defensiveness.It also analyzes the characteristics of the layout of streets,military buildings,ancestral temple buildings,and residential buildings,and explores different defense methods and means.In Jiangxi,there are few researches on the settlement patterns transformed from the local guards.Therefore,the study of the Yangjiaoshui Castle is of great significance to the research of this type of defensive settlement.
