Abstract

The ancient road cultural route is an important part of Huizhou cultural heritage, which is closely related to Huizhou tradition. Huizhou ancient villages are important historical and cultural heritage. The important features of their locations and layouts are the high integration with nature, forming a traditional residential environment pattern of “backing mountain, surrounding water and facing screen”. From the perspective of Huizhou Ancient Road, this paper selects Chengkan ancient village, which is an important cultural route of “Shuyuan Lingshan Chengkan ancient road”, as the research object, and takes the construction of human settlements as the main research content. From the natural environment and cultural background, and the formed human environment as the starting point, the paper focuses on the village agglomeration spatial pattern, the village water system, the street space environment, the architectural environment and the Shuikou landscape environment to analyze the characteristics and concepts of traditional residential environment construction in Huizhou ancient villages represented by Chengkan village, so as to make a beneficial discussion on the regional rural revitalization, the protection and development of traditional village human settlement environment.
