Research on the Construction of the Tang-Tibet Ancient Road (Qinghai Section) Heritage Corridor from the Perspective of Cultural Ecology

Abstract

In the context of advancing the construction of the Belt and Road, the preservation and perpetuation of the Tang-Tibet Ancient Road holds immense significance in promoting development in the Western region. The Qinghai section, with its abundant cultural heritage, has emerged as the focal point for the cultural preservation. However, the current development and preservation efforts lack a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of heritage resources. This paper takes a cultural ecology perspective as its starting point and conducts a comprehensive survey of existing natural and cultural heritage sites along the Ancient Road. Additionally, it utilizes spatial analysis tools to analyse the accessibility and suitability of the corridor space. Ultimately, this paper constructs a cohesive cultural heritage corridor for the Tang-Tibet Ancient Road.
