Study on Construction Evolvement and Spatial Patterns in Yiyang City

作为湖南省省级历史文化名城的益阳市,得名于其位于益水之阳,早在秦代便有建制,历经唐宋明清等朝代更迭,古城的空间肌理在今益阳市资水北岸资阳区尚留痕迹。该文在爬梳历史文献,解读方志舆图的基础上,探究益阳城的山水形胜、建制沿革,以及历代城市营建和演变过程,并集中推测、考证明清时期的城市空间格局,总结其历史演变规律和空间格局特征,为今天益阳的城市建设、老城区更新提供一定的历史支撑。

As a famous historical and cultural city in Hunan Province,Yiyang City was located in the north of Yishui river, hence the name, The regime dates back to Qin Dynasty,and the city spatial texture still survives in north of Zishui river in Ziyang district, with historical vicissitudes of Tang- Song and Ming-Qing dynasties. Based on the historical documents and the maps of chorographies, we attempt to explore the Shanshui Xingsheng, the urban planning and construction, and spatial evolvement of Yiyang City. Moreover, concentrated speculations and textual researches concerning city spatial pattern during the Ming and Qing dynasties have been done in this paper. We summarize the law of the historical evolution and characteristics of spatial patterns to drive the construction of Yiyang City and the old city renewal, which provide history support.
