Abstract
The historical space is an important idea to blur boundaries between time and space. As showed in the case of Pan River, I have demonstrated value and signification of heritage site could be sensed through the spatial narrative written by the ancient. It was like a star in the sky holding the potential to lighten the way of the present to the future. Ancient site in Qufu’s local gazetteer was recorded as ancient traces, where “the righteous men went to the site, viewing traces and behaviors towards imagining the ancient.” China holds heritage sites of a great number for sure, but the value of using them is to step on the traces of the ancient and think with a dialogical heart, only in this way could we still feel the unchangeable power in historical space and be touched. Moreover, it is how no matter how ruined or vacant this site will be, it could still be sensed as a respective place as moral space.
