3.3.1. Planning and Design Objectives
- (1)
- The landscape design of the village should combine preservation and creation, consider the village as a whole, unify and adapt the overall style, restore the historical style of the buildings, highlight the local and regional characteristics and integrate the culture of the Hundred-family Feast into the landscape design according to the environmental features and the overall pattern, create a landscape pattern that is compatible with the culture and creates an overall sense of cultural atmosphere.
- (2)
- Reasonable use of natural environmental features for landscape design, such as the use of riverside to create a water landscape and water-friendly space, the use of site height differences to create different ornamental space, performance space and vertical landscape space, or some waterfall landscape combined with water features.
- (3)
- Create an experiential landscape with the culture of the Taishun Hundred-family Feast as the core. The most important thing about intangible cultural heritage is that people can participate in the experience or interact with it. Through the experiential landscape, people are attracted to participate and interact with it spontaneously so that they can feel the cultural connotations of the Hundred-family Feast in a more comprehensive and immersive way while at the same time meeting the functions of activities required by local people in their daily lives [31].
- (4)
- Improve the construction of service facilities, such as a comprehensive service centre, a comprehensive guidance system, sufficient parking space, etc. The pattern and traffic of the landscape space are planned reasonably and conveniently, and the functional partitioning of the landscape space is carried out in a reasonable and comfortable manner to fully meet people’s needs.

Landscape element carrier | The spiritual fortress of hundred-family Feast culture | The overall shape of the spirit fortress is extracted from the shape and working principle of the Qionghua pyrotechnic puppet. The colours used are the distinctive wood colour of the ancient buildings of Zhangzhai and the red colour in the Hundred-family Feast culture. The cultural and spiritual fortress of the Hundred-family Feast is divided into four levels, which represent different cultural symbols, and each level has a different meaning in terms of elevation. The first and lowest level symbolizes the round table of the Hundred-family Feast culture and the sight of each pair of chopsticks and bowls gathered together in unity. On the second level are strings of wishing cards, a symbol of the wishes and expectations of all people. It signifies that people of the Hundred-family Feast culture pray for good fortune and make good wishes. The third floor is hung with the red lanterns found everywhere in the Hundred-family Feast culture for peace, signifying that people yearn for light. The uppermost layer is the closest to the sky, showing the glorious light in the form of fireworks in the sky, and the fireworks are also the last activity of the Hundred-family Feast culture, marking the final glorious scene of the Hundred-family Feast culture with fireworks as the end of the whole folklore activity. |
The development landscape of the Hundred-family Feast culture | The storyline of the development of the Taishun Hundred-family Feast culture is presented through a long, curved waterfall. It is divided into three levels, with the water flowing from each level to the next. The direction of the storyline from the beginning to the end is from low to high, which also signifies the spiritual will of the ancestors to go upstream and settle down, thus forming the Taishun Hundred-family Feast culture. The storyline is divided into several stories, from the beginning to the end: the ancestors travel through the mountains to reach this place, learn how to farm, cut wood and firewood to prepare the ingredients for cooking, prepare wine and start the spring festival for the ancestors, carry out the street parade, perform the puppet show and have a banquet with families together. | |
Landscape spatial carrier | The Hundred-family Feast culture square | The Hundred-family Feast Cultural Square as the spatial carrier is divided into an entrance area, a square area, a rest area, a play area and a parking area. The resting area is a relatively quiet landscape space with a resting and viewing pavilion. On one side of the pavilion is a wall displaying the history and development of Taishun’s Hundred-family Feast culture in the form of words and patterns. The play area is a playful landscape space with the development of the Hundred-family Feast culture tour as the core, which comprehensively shows the historical origin, development history and activities of the Hundred-family Feast culture in Taishun and helps people to understand the Hundred-family Feast culture more. |
The Integrated Public Service Centre in Sankui Town | The integrated public service centre, a key step in improving the infrastructure, consists not only of indoor spaces but also outdoor resting spaces. The service centre can meet the needs of people to understand the culture of Taishun Hundred-family Feast and the internal environment of Zhangzhai Village and to know the various locations and routes to experience the cultural landscape of Taishun Hundred-family Feast, as well as to meet the needs of people for accommodation, food and shopping. |
