Spatial Distribution Characteristics of the Northwest Fortress System of the Northern Song Dynasty
This article discusses the historic north-west fortress system of the Northern Song dynasty(960-1127 CE)based on a comprehensive review of relevant historical and geographical informa-tion.It employs historical archive analysis,spa-tiotemporal profile analysis,and spatial quantita-tive analysis to examine the spatial distribution structure,operation mechanism,and temporal characteristics of the fortress system.The research findings suggest that the northwest fortress system of the Northern Song dynasty presents a mixed spatial structure that integrated a homogeneous military reinforcing network with a central radial military-farming settlement network.The research then analyses the historical and geographical in-fluencing factors contributing to the typical local characteristics in the spatial structure of the for-tress system,revealing the systematic character-istics and overall architectural heritage features of the military settlements in the northwest for-tress system of the Northern Song dynasty.This research provides a comparative perspective for large-scale military architectural heritage in an-cient China,deepens the overall value recognition,and provides guidance for the comprehensive con-servation of military architectural and settlement heritage in northwest China.
