基于GIS分析湘鄂风水塔空间分布与演进规律初探

摘要

Under the infiltration of Chinese culture, pagodas have gradually formed the specialty of China with Buddhism introduced to China since the Han Dynasty. Especially during the period of Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, pagodas were used to revitalize the imperial examination, decorate the landscape and avoid disaster and flood. This phenomenon is very common in the south, and geomantic pagodas have a wide distribution. There are a lot of geomantic pagodas in Hu'nan and Hubei Province, coupled with the prosperity of the academic atmosphere of Hubei. Although the number of geomantic pagodas is less than Hu'nan, but also has a certain size. Selecting geomantic pagodas in Hu'nan province as an example we explain the site layout characteristics. Combining with ASTER GDEM data, using ArcGIS technology, we make quantitative analysis about the spatial distribution of the pagodas, so as to provide a certain reference for the evolution rule of geomantic pagodas in Hu'nan and Hubei Province.%塔这一宗教建筑类型自汉代随佛教传入中国,在中国文化的浸润下,逐渐形成具有中国特色的风水塔.明清以降,塔被更多地赋予振兴文运、点化风景、镇水驱灾等风水诉求,风水塔在中国南方地区尤为常见,分布广泛.湘鄂地区建风水塔尤成风俗,湖南学术风气兴盛,风水塔数目甚多,湖北虽风水塔建造数目不及湖南,但亦有一定规模.该文以湘鄂两地可查之风水塔为研究样本,结合ASTER GDEM数据,利用ArcGIS技术定量分析塔的空间分布特征,为解读风水塔的选址布局及在两湖地区的演进规律提供一定的参考.
