Analysis of spatial structure and living culture of patio and courtyard dwellings in southern Hubei from the perspective of “cultural ecology” -- taking Ruijin Chuanfang ancient residence as an example

Abstract

The concept of cultural ecology is not only the basic requirement of self-innovation and self-protection of traditional culture, but also the effective response of traditional culture under the background of cultural crisis. From the perspective of cultural ecology, this study takes Ruijin Chuanfang ancient residence as an example to analyse the mutual adaptation between spatial elements such as spatial combination, functional distribution and construction structure of traditional folk dwellings in southern Hubei province and local unique cultural elements such as natural environment, economic environment and social environment.
