Settlement place names are the record carriers of the natural and human environment,which contain rich regional culture.Through the place names,we can understand the natural geography,production livelihood,customs and other types of cultural information of the region.With the advancement of history,settlement place names are constantly changing from old to new.Introducing time variables into the settlement place name culture,focusing on the temporal and spatial evolution and driving factors of place names,can not only grasp the internal laws of the old and new replacement of settlement place names,but also dig out the ecology of historical periods.Culture and Habitat Culture.The middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River were the birthplace of early civilizations,and were at the center of politics,economy,and culture for a long time in ancient times,and the names of their settlements have profound historical accumulation.Therefore,this paper takes the historical settlements in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River as the research object,and uses GIS technology,geographic detectors,and historical measurement methods to analyze the temporal and spatial evolution characteristics and influencing factors of settlement names in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Fully excavate the historical information contained in the place name cultural landscape of settlements in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River,and provide a basis for the protection and renewal of place names.The main research conclusions are as follows:(1)According to the terminology of place names and the cultural information reflected,the place names of settlements in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River can be divided into natural landscapes and cultural landscapes.Among them,the place names of natural landscapes include landforms,hydrology,animals and plants;the place names of cultural landscapes include military There are six subcategories: economy,politics,transportation,architecture,people’s surnames,and blessing wishes.According to the classification results,the proportions of various place names were counted.The results show that the place names of the settlements in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River during the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties were mainly based on humanistic elements and supplemented by natural elements.The proportion is relatively high.(2)Divide the research period into five periods: Qin-Han,Wei-Jin,Sui-Tang,Song-Yuan,and Ming-Qing,and study the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River from the Qin-Han to the Ming and Qing Dynasties based on the newly added,disappeared,and renamed place names in the historical period Evolutionary characteristics of settlement names.The results show that the Ming and Qing dynasties were the most prominent period for the evolution of the cultural landscape of place names.During this period,the frequency of replacement of old and new place names was the highest,and the number of newly added place names was far greater than that of disappeared place names and renamed place names.The overall growth of place names was rapid;Ming and Qing Dynasties During the period,the evolution of natural landscape place names was mainly reflected in geomorphology and hydrology,and in cultural landscape place names,military,economic,person and surname names,and wish and blessing place names changed significantly.Secondly,through GIS visualization of the spatial distribution of newly added place names,disappeared place names,and renamed place names from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties,it is found that the spatial distribution patterns of the three are basically consistent.The most densely added,disappeared,and renamed place names are typical areas for the evolution of place name cultural landscapes,and there are significant differences in the main place name cultural landscape types that have evolved in these four regions.(3)Combining qualitative and quantitative analysis methods to explore the evolution of the cultural landscape of settlement and place names in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Among them,the evolution of natural landscape place names is mainly due to the low productivity in ancient times and the high dependence of human beings on the natural environment,which prompted natural elements such as mountains,rivers and rivers to be embedded in place names.higher.Among the place names of cultural landscapes,the military,wishes,blessings,personal surnames,and economic place names have evolved prominently.Geographical detectors were used to quantitatively analyze the causes of their evolution.The results show that military place names are significantly affected by the number of wars;the frequency of disasters has a significant impact on wishes The explanatory power of similar place names is not high,because the political indoctrination of the ruling class is also an important factor in the formation and distribution of this kind of place names;the evolution of person surname-like place names is mainly affected by immigration movements;population density is the dominant factor in the evolution of economic place names factor. |
