Multi-dimensional Element Graph Construction and Spatial Representation of Gardens in the Fuhai Area of Yuanmingyuan Based on Literary Cartography by Yuchao CAO, Nan ZHANG, Yuhang KONG

“…The “behavior – perception” characteristics of three typical identity consciousnesses — emperor's responsibility, literati’s mentality, and loiterer's posture — are extracted, and the corresponding spatial semantic network of the garden is constructed.ConclusionThe research proposes a novel methodology for the analysis of classical gardens, with a particular focus on the identification of spatial information and subjective perception data embedded within textual, visual, and physical elements. The proposed methodology involves a systematic exploration of the relationship between behavior, perception, environment, and architecture, with the objective of enhancing the understanding of the multifacetedness of these cultural spaces. …”
