Abstract: The unique geographical and cultural context of the Chengdu Plain are attributed to its distinctive local rural settlement patterns and living environment. The farming culture which developed from the long-term agricultural production and living practices is thoroughly manifested by the Linpan Settlement. As such, Linpan Settlement became a material carrier of cultural heritage in Chengdu rural areas. Many studies have shown that the rural settlements in the Chengdu Plain achieved great development in the Qing Dynasty, integrating the traditional culture and immigrant culture. This is demonstrated by many poems. To address the gradual disappearance of local culture caused by rural settlement environmental changes in recent years, this study tries to reproduce the traditional rural residential environmental characteristics of Chengdu Plain through the phenomenological texts of poems from the perspective of humanity history.
  Based on semiotic interpretation of the text generation principle and analysis of the correlation between ancient environment and poetic texts, this study concludes that texts which are produced by the same deep-layer structure, but which have different expression forms can transform mutually and reflect humanity's ideological consciousness of changing the natural environment. As such, poetic texts and pictorial texts can be transformed mutually. Based on their research theory and with reference to the "conceptual model of landscape schema language", the schema language system with "phraseology structure" of built environmental texts was proposed. This is known as the schema language transformation system of "word" - "phrase" - "sentence". According to this method, rural physical symbols in poetic texts were extracted, standardized, classified, and schematized, thus obtaining "words" in the schema language system. Lines in poems were classified according to settlement environmental elements, including "mountain", "water", "forest", "field", "road", and "building". Based on existing studies and with references to other historical literature, an ultimate schema language grammar was formed, which was used as the combinatorial logic of "words", thus obtaining the schema of "phrases". Basic combinations of fragmented schema were formed based on existing studies, thus determining the architectural space schema and settlement space schema.
  It can be found from these schematic texts that: (1) The schema language system with its "phraseology structure" is an effective way to explore environmental space information in literature texts and can be used to study settlement spaces in other regions. (2) Agricultural landscape performed the dominant role in settlements in Chengdu during the Qing Dynasty. Macroscopically, they showed rural scenery integrating forest, field, and water. Microscopically, there existed farmyards surrounded by pines and flower hedges. Spatially, they showed the spatial sequence of "wind, water, forest and wood -building - forecourt - wooden door". (3) The "settlement spatial pattern" was manifested in nesting type (community), serial type (community), and scattering type (living scattered).
  This study can act as a reference for studying and updating settlements in Chengdu Plain, as well as investigating history and protecting settlements. Moreover, it can be used as a new method to study rural human settlement. In this study, only physical symbols in poems were discussed. However, modifiers, animal symbols, and climate symbols in texts all have remarkable effects in the creation of settlement spaces. Future studies should further discuss the influences of these types of symbols on the formation of human settlement and element spaces, aiming to further perfect the settlement cognition method and schema language system under textual narration, and provide further theoretical basis and technological references to new rural construction and protection of the Linpan Settlement in Chengdu Plain.

摘要: 得天独厚的地理文化环境孕育了成都平原独有的乡村聚居模式与人居环境,其作为乡村人文传承的物质载体,不仅是地域性的集中体现,也是聚落更新与保护的关键。相关研究表明,成都平原乡村聚落在清代得到了成熟发展,且有大量诗词为佐证。为重现成都平原乡村人居环境特征,本研究以符号学为理论基础、古诗词为研究材料,通过构建 “字”-“词”-“句”的图式语言体系,解析了古诗词中蕴含的多维度建筑环境信息,并形成了建筑学语境的聚落空间与建筑空间图式。研究发现:(1)“文段式构成”图式语言体系是挖掘文学文本中建筑空间信息的有效路径;(2)“建筑空间图式”单元以风水林木——建筑——前院——柴门为空间序特征;(3)“聚落空间图式”表现为嵌套式(聚居)、串联式(聚居)与散点式(散居)三类。成果将为今后的设计研究中在地性探索提供有益的思路。
