The traditional village fabric carries rich and unique local culture,human and historical information,which plays a vital role in the formation of the characteristics and styles of the traditional villages.Further study on traditional village fabric pattern can provide scientific basis and theoretical support for the protection and development of traditional villages.In this paper,through illustration we induce and identify the combination patterns of fabric between traditional villages and environments in Xishan Island of Taihu Lake,Suzhou,and extract and construct the base of graphs,in which there are 274 graphs of five types of fabric combinations,including settlement-mountain,settlement-water,settlement-lake,settlement-field-fishpond and settlement-water(low-lying paddy fields surrounded with dikes).They directly reflect the layout of the traditional villages in Xishan Island,and is of great significance to grasp the fabric features and analyze the spatial relations.
