Abstract:
In order to explore the spatial layout and its formation causes of Xanadu, based on archaeological reports and historical records about Xanadu, and utilizing technological methods such as remote sensing image processing and GIS spatial analysis, the collected multivariate data were integrated and analyzed. The results show that urban space of Xanadu consists of four parts including the palace city, the imperial city, the outer city, and the suburban area. Its unique urban landscape is shaped by the needs of political rule, military defense, population composition, and economic trade. The integration of Mongolian and Han cultures infuse the spatial layout of Xanadu with rich cultural connotations. The axial symmetry of traditional Central Plains rituals and the free centripetalism of the grassland Kurultai culture are perfectly reflected in Xanadu. The planning and layout of Xanadu fully consider natural geographical conditions, the site selection and layout based on topographic features, as well as the road planning based on river system characteristics, embody the concept of harmony between humans and nature. The research findings not only provide a scientific basis for understanding the historical value and cultural connotations of Xanadu, but also offer valuable references for the protection and utilization of grassland capital ruins.
