Analysis of the Origin of Emblems and Numbers and the Mathematical Order of National Landscape in Zhou Li(The Rites of Zhou)
Revealing the correlation logic of emblems and numbers to ancient Chinese space and natural laws is the thinking basis for understanding the formation of national landscape order,and it is also a feasible way to inherit the unique temperament of the large-scale landscape design tradition.Based on the ancient astronomical calendar and the"emblem-number-reason"system of Zhou Yi,this paper clarifies the idea of"worshipping heaven"in the"mountain-water-field-city"landscape of Zhou Li(The Rites of Zhou).Combining the cultural meaning of Zhou Li emblems and numbers,this paper analyzes the spatial mapping patterns of"structure","class","unit"and"average".Finally,this paper analyzes the influence of emblems and numbers on the order and structure of national landscape of Zhou Li:in the whole territory,the structural isomorphism and ranking sequence of national landscape are realized by"identifying the region and rectifying the order";in the local territory,through the"shaping the cities and countryside",the country realizes the derivation of land units and the uniform distribution of settlements;and it achieves the ideal pursuit of human-nature harmony.The research will provide new cognition for the value of contemporary national landscape heritage.
