Study on the Genetic Variation Mechanism and Restoration of the Water Village Landscape in Southern Jiangsu

Traditional villages contain the internal spirit and external expression of Chinese traditional culture, which is the intermediary between cultural inheritance and tourism development. The study of its dynamic changes and the wisdom learned from it is conducive to the preservation and exploitation of its cultural values. Based on the theory of landscape genes in geography, we use the method of feature deconstruction and extraction to identify the genes of the water village landscape in Southern Jiangsu, and then analyze the variation characteristics of landscape genes and propose the variation mechanism to summarize the variation trend of traditional villages in southern Jiangsu. Finally, from the perspective of biological genetic variation, it is summarized into four types: inheritance variation, replacement variation, fusion variation, and deletion variation, and corresponding restoration strategies are proposed for different variation types, which provide methodological references for the theoretical cognition of existing traditional village conservation.
