Research on the Distribution and Conservation of Song-Yuan Kiln Sites in Fujian from the Perspective of Heritage Corridor

Abstract

As testaments of the overseas trade along the Maritime Silk Road, the construction of heritage corridors for ancient kiln sites can help promote the concept of heritage corridors for localized research in China, while the relevant practices and theoretical explorations are relatively limited. The heritage space of ancient kiln sites is facing the status quo of fragmented protection. Understanding their spatial distribution is necessary to provide strategies for organic connection and tandem protection. This study uses a minimum cumulative resistance model and Methods of spatial analysis to construct the heritage corridors of ancient kiln sites in Fujian Province. Results show that the kiln sites are closely related to the distribution of the water system such as the harbors, the river, and the coast, with the kiln sites as the core resources. Combining the cultural and socio-economic factors, this study aims to build the heritage corridors for ancient kiln site in Fujian Province.
