Research on Characteristic Town Planning Based on the Concept of "Context Refurbishment" — With Hejie Ancestral Temple Characteristic Ancient Town as an Example

Abstract

Ancient towns are the "living fossils" of ancient civilizations and traditional cultures. As a carrier of historical context, it has accumulated rich cultural connotations in the process of development. In the process of planning and design, we must dig deeply into its history and culture and adopt feasible methods to inject vitality into the cultural inheritance of ancient towns. This is especially important for the connotative construction of cities and towns in China. Facing the challenge of foreign culture, the ancient town such as Hejie, which carries heavy traditional culture, also suffers from the invasion of new culture and the reduction of the living space of traditional culture and excessive homogeneity. Therefore, triggered our thinking on the planning of ancient towns. Based on the concept of "cultural context repair", this paper proposes planning ideas for the ancient town's cultural context system from the point, line and plane scales by using the methods of cultural context repair, infiltration and reconstruction. It is hoped that by "repairing" the ancient town context, the living space of traditional culture of ancient town can be expanded, its competitiveness can be enhanced, and the road to sustainable development can be paved. At the same time, taking Hejie ancestral temple characteristic small town as an example, using the planning idea of context repair to carry out an empirical study, hoping to find a reference planning idea for the development of ancient towns with the same situation. At the same time, it provides theoretical guidance for the development practice of the context of small towns with characteristics in the next stage, and also provides a basis for the formulation of planning policies of small towns with characteristics.
