The Perception Mechanism and Activation Path of Landscape Genes in Traditional Villages

Abstract

Aiming at the absence of a humanist perspective in the protection of landscape genes in traditional villages, an adaptive activation
path integrating the perception mechanism is constructed. Taking Zhaoqing Chenghu Village as an example, by comprehensively applying
questionnaire surveys and interviews, the landscape gene system and the differences in perception between hosts and guests are analyzed. The
results show that (1) The landscape genes of Chenghu Village cover the material system of "water - Ancestral Hall (Citang) - house" and the
immaterial system of "customs - arts - rituals". (2) The emotional identification of residents is significantly higher than that of tourists, and
identity and age are the main influencing variables. (3) The misalignment of perception between the host and the guest leads to "symbolic
consumption" and "cultural conflicts", threatening the authenticity of the village. Therefore, this paper proposes a three-stage model of "gene
repair - Localized Re-creation - Emotion re-embedding", providing a systematic path for the living inheritance of traditional villages.
