Abstract
Using the idea of big data analysis, this paper makes a quantitative analysis of the development of characteristic towns in China based on two dimensions of space and type, static and dynamic, and puts forward policy suggestions. The results showed that: distribution density of characteristic towns in China is dense and stratified, which decreases from east to west. There are significant differences in distribution density between different types of towns. The development of small towns follows the evolution trajectory of “enlightenment-initial development-high speed development-normative construction” and forms a ladder transfer pattern of “Zhejiang-southeast coast-national-southeast coast”. Town construction is highly resource embeddedness, and is undergoing a transition from resource-driven to innovation-driven.

Summary
As an important grasp of China’s new urbanization strategy, characteristic towns with the integration of “production, city, people and culture” have attracted much attention. At the Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the specific requirements of “guiding the healthy development of characteristic towns”, which further highlighted the strategic position of characteristic towns. Some scholars have discussed the development of characteristic towns in China, such as the analysis of the development mode and mechanism of small towns [3] [4], and put forward the governance path in view of the existing problems in the construction of characteristics towns [5], etc. By adopting big data analysis method, econometric analysis is conducted on the distribution rules of characteristic towns in China from two aspects of static and dynamic based on two dimensions of space and type. The paper further visualizes the evolution path of characteristic towns in China, and provides references for the construction and operation subjects of characteristic towns and the competent government departments
