China’s traditional scenic spots have strong humanistic characteristics and are a combination of nature and culture.The formation process is influenced by politics,economy,religious belief and many other aspects,and finally forms a harmonious landscape.Taizhou scenic zone is the epitome of "seven for mountains,one for river and two for fields".It is a harmonious ecological land of mountains,sea and rivers.It is known at home and abroad as the birthplace of the Tiantai Sect of Buddhism and the Southern Sect of Taoism.In this process,Buddhism has played a crucial role in the development of Taizhou scenic zone.In this paper,by collecting ancient and modern literature,searching local Chronicles and poetry travel notes,investigating the political changes,celebrity allusions,local events and other historical events in Taizhou area,analyse the formation process of Taizhou scenic zone from a historical vertical perspective,and summarise the final landscape characteristics of Taizhou scenic zone under the influence of many historical factors from a realistic horizontal perspective.The following conclusions are drawn:(1)Based on the historical perspective,the development process of Taizhou scenic spot can be divided into five stages according to the progress of scenic spot construction in the local annals: The embryonic stage before Wei,Jin Dynasties;The initial construction stage of Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties;The prosperous stage of Sui,Tang and Five Dynasties in the Southern and Northern Dynasties;The early stage of maturity in the Song Dynasty;The late stage of maturity in Yuan,Ming and Qing dynasties;Maintenance stage since the Republic of China.(2)The influence of Buddhism has three characteristics: first,the development of Buddhism and it of scenic spots are similar but not overlapping,showing the corresponding relationship of "Buddhism advance,scenic spots respond".Secondly,it is double-sided.The influence is divided into direct and indirect aspects.In the early period,the direct influence is the main one,and in the later period,the indirect influence is the main one.The third is the directionality,that it has different emphasis in different periods.(3)The landscape characteristics of the "ecological blessed land Buddha and Taoist source" in Taizhou Scenic area are reflected in the space,with macro;Mesoscopic and microscopic characteristics.In the macro level,Taizhou scenic zone has a landscape framework of "mountain and sea",forming the overall characteristics of "paradise on the sea ".In the mesoscopic level,Taizhou scenic zone has the characteristics of "mountain-temple" landscape construction,caves,foothills,mountainsides,mountaintop mountain-temple landscape each has its own characteristics.In the micro level,Taizhou scenic zone is connected by the "mountain-road" landscape tour line.(4)The landscape characteristics of "ecological blessed land Buddha and Taoist Source" in Taizhou Scenic area are reflected in culture,and there are Sacred natural site;Meteorological landscape;Streams and waterfalls;Scenic names and couplets;Cliff stone carving.At the same time,the special landscape resources of Taizhou Scenic area include twin tower landscape,stone landscape and integrated landscape,which are the evidence of Buddhism’s influence on the formation process of scenic area.(5)Based on the above two conclusions,Buddhism mainly affects the change of scenic spots through three factors: firstly,natural endowments set the tone of " paradise on the sea " in Taizhou scenic zone,and the intervention of Buddhism strengthens this feature.Secondly,political economy decides the "rate of progress" of Taizhou scenic zone,and the operation of Buddhism promotes this process.Thirdly,the cultural heritage has enriched the atmosphere of "the source of Buddhism" in Taizhou Scenic zone,and the overall planning of Buddhism has deepened this connotation.Since Buddhism was introduced into Taizhou in Han Dynasty,it has taken the initiative to open up mountain forests and become one of the earliest managers of landscape resources,and actively blended with local religions and local folk customs.Through the activities of famous monks,it has won the favor of the ruling class and literati and officials,and fought for the construction of resources and scenic spots.Therefore,Buddhism influences the formation of scenic spots through the three factors of natural endowment,political economy and cultural accumulation,and through the three mechanisms of media,promotion and interpretation,the landscape of Taizhou Scenic spot conforms to Buddhist thoughts and has Buddhist characteristics.Specifically,the temple and pagoda have become the core scenic spots of Taizhou scenic area.Celebrity allusions and Buddhist legends are the main connotations of the cultural landscape of Taizhou Scenic area.
