Abstract:With the acceleration of urbanization, the landscape characteristics of ancient bridges in Shaoxing are also constantly changing. In order to protect the integrity and uniqueness of the ancient bridge landscape of Shaoxing, it is necessary to strengthen the research on the identifiability of ancient bridges. Therefore, the characteristic factors and identification indicators of the ancient bridges in Shaoxing are analyzed and summarized by applying the typological classification method and the landscape gene mapping method. The index assignment of the characteristic factors of the ancient bridge has been clarified. A factor map of visual features, cultural features and behavioral features of the ancient bridges in Shaoxing is constructed. And a relatively universal system and method for identifying ancient bridges have been developed, resulting in a clear identification gene for ancient bridges in Shaoxing.
