Studies on City Sites Selection in Ancient China with Multi Perspectives |

Abstract: |
China has a long history of building cities, and the ancient city site is a problem
that becomes even newer as time goes by. It is an important accumulation of ancient urban
civilization, and witnesses the wisdom of the ancients in dealing with complex things. Since the
ancient city of Chengtou Mountain in Jixian County before 6 000 years ago, there have been
more than 4 300 towns on the land of China. The ancient towns have been repeatedly tested
for thousands of years, and most of them have been used until now, becoming an important
accumulation of ancient Chinese urban civilization. A good example is that the Beichuan and
Qingchuan old county towns where the ancients were located did not cause much damage
after the Wenchuan Earthquake. The idea of site selection in ancient Chinese cities has many
sources. From the beginning of the ritual rules of the “Kao Gong Ji” in the pre-Qin Dynasty, the
pragmatism of “Guan Zi”, and the mysticism and landscape aesthetic tendency of Geomancy
after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, complicated and gradually diversifi ed. The practice of city site
selection, although throughout the ancient social process (mainly in the pre-Qin and Han and
Tang Dynasties), but the record is not complete, the vast majority of the site selection process
is only scattered in the historical materials, and the combing and summarization is relatively
lacking.
In the past 100 years, scholars from different fi elds have carried out a lot of research work on
the site selection of the ancient city and accumulated fruitful results. In general, these studies can
be divided into multiple perspectives, including the perspective of urban historiography (including
general history, key dynasties, etc.), environmental adaptation (including fl ood control, climate
adaptability, Geomancy, etc.), regional urban group (including river basin cities, specific
regional cities, etc.), important cities (including capital cities, local central cities, etc.). Among
them, the study of urban historiography has a large time and geographical span, and it is more
informative, especially the comparative study of different cities in the history of research, and the
development clues of urban site selection are more and more accurate, but the pre-Qin period and
Qin During the Tang Dynasty, there were more cities, which was the key stage of research. In
the site selection study from the perspective of environmental adaptability, the research on fl ood
control in urban sites has been more in-depth and systematic; the research on climate adaptation
is more subjective; and however, the double superstition of geomancy itself and the study of the
restricted area has not yet been completely eliminated. The geomantic ideology of mixed and
sturdy remains to be further understood and analyzed. The research on site selection of regional
group perspectives pays attention to the comparative study of site selection characteristics among different cities or regions, and focuses on urban groups in specific regions such as river basins, basins and plains. In the research of site selection
from the perspective of important cities, the capital city is the focus of research. The subjectivity of the people in the site selection and the complexity
of site selection gradually enter the research perspective, and the researchers realize that the urban site selection is a process of causal interaction.
After combing, summarizing and analyzing these achievements, it is found that the branch of the ancient Chinese city site, which combines the
history and urban geography, has grown from scratch, and the research on the site selection of the ancient city is fruitful, and the role of empirical
and comparative research methods is becoming more and more prominent. The series of results have initially formed an academic framework system.
At the same time, excessively advocating the ancient attitude does not enhance the national self-confidence and pride, but it loses the speculative
position that the researchers should have. It is detrimental to the scientific and rational nature of the historical city construction, but if the neutrality
of the position is strengthened, the conclusion will be more objective; urban formation is a dynamic process, and initial site selection does not allow
the city to do it overnight. The emergence of a certain city will change and affect the production factors, traffic elements and environmental factors
around it. This is an interactive process. Site selection cannot only study the “original point” of the city, but if we attach importance to the dynamic
research of site selection, the results will be more abundant. |
