Borderland Landscape and Tianxia Space:Space-time Interpretation of the Cultural-geographical Landscape around Xilin Gol,Inner Mongolia
The cognition of borderland landscape constitutes an important aspect of understanding the overall geographical order and its internal structure,and is also one of the important contents of the intellectual history of frontier thought.It can facilitate us to think about the geographical spatial correlation of the relations between Chinese borderland regions,and further form up a comprehensive control of the space-time structure of a certain borderland region.As an important ecological transition zone in China,the Xilin Gol region of Inner Mongolia is surrounded by unique cultural-geographical landscapes,such as the source of Luanhe River,Yuan Dadu ruins,Duolun Huizong Temple and etc..It constitutes an important entry point for us to understand the unique landscape across the trans-Great Wall zone,and thus to understand the space-time correlation of the Yuan-Ming-Qing dynasties,the Tianxia space as a whole and its contemporary symbolic significance.This paper will develop the specific discussion and interpretation focusing on this main issue,so as to propose the corresponding expansion of perspectives addressing the issue.
