**5. Art involved in the construction concept of Caijing and Longtanzhai ancient villages**

## **5.1 Pay attention to the geographical environment and ecology of ancient villages**

Due to the mountainous conditions, the Cai fan and Longtanzhai ancient villages in Taihu County will be located in the undulating mountains, and the central location of the village will also be uneven due to the trend of the mountains. The villagers will build houses according to the trend of such ups and downs. Such terrain effects will occasionally play some unique forms of planning. There is not only a change in terrain difference between houses and houses, but also a rich and varied ecological natural landscape. The ancients built high walls behind the garden of the courtyard, cleverly using the height difference, so that the strong visual effect would make the bottom of the upper courtyard appear infinitely extended and become the center of vision [12].

The landscapes of the Cai fan and Longtanzhai ancient villages in Taihu County are backed by mountains. In fact, the location of such a house, such as facing the sun, relying on green water, leaning against the mountains to avoid the wind, is the best natural nutrition for life. "Laozi" calls "everything is negative and yang." These ancient villages can clearly reflect the rich experience of the ancient villagers and the awe of the ecological nature.

#### **5.2 Consider the safety and commercial circulation of residents**

The construction of the ecological landscape of ancient villages must consider the safety of living. This aspect must be considered very thoughtfully, and it is necessary to solve this problem in a comprehensive way. Because the security of residents in ancient villages is the foundation for the development of a village, and it is the top priority for the development of villages. So, the landscape construction meets the following points:


### **5.3 The ecological landscape planning of ancient villages should be based on the modern environmental planning and Feng shui design**

Feng shui has a long history in China and gradually matured in the Han and Tang dynasties. Feng shui includes elements such as form, law, stagnation, and fate. The most important of these is that there is a strong superstition in theory and fatalism, but the method has certain scientific and practical significance in analyzing topography, small physical environment, and guiding the modeling of architecture [13]. When Feng shui was in ancient China, it was widely spread among the people, and its influence on traditional Chinese dwellings was extremely obvious.

The application of Feng shui to the site selection of the village actually includes many specific aspects, such as climate, ecology, topography, geography, landform, landscape, etc., as well as the interaction between the factors, as well as taboos and shortcomings. In other words, Feng shui emphasizes the comprehensive evaluation

of various factors. Feng shui theory has an important guiding role in the landscape of ancient villages. Environmental science is an important part of Feng shui theory, and it also has certain scientific ideas. The theory of Feng shui will also explain the part of the gods, which is also a reflection of the social environment at that time. It is stated that the ancients will fully consider the theory of Feng shui in the site selection of houses. It is more obvious in the wealthy people. In the construction of the building, the location and spatial relationship of the nearby mountains and rivers clearly

**5.4 The structural layout design paradigm of the ancient village should reflect** 

The structural layout of the ancient villages of Taihu and Longtan Village is the wisdom that reflects the wisdom of ancient residents. If the housing of a household needs to take into account all aspects of Feng shui, environment, site selection, safety, etc., then the formation of a village requires the sum of the required factors for each household, and it is necessary to adjust each household, the needs of the household, and the process of integration. Therefore, the layout of the ancient villages in Taihu County is also the content of the landscape planning we have talked about in the contemporary era. We can learn more ecological and smarter ancient

The ecological landscape of ancient villages constructs the core concept of its paradigm. First, the village is the carrier of traditional memory. On the one hand, the countryside is the carrier of traditional memory. As a concrete operator, the designer needs to follow the concept from beginning to end: how to participate in the existing courtyard space with the new lifestyle, how to integrate modern art into the past and present life, and how to carry the new art life with the historical space. On the other hand, when artists participate in rural construction, they must understand that local farmers are the main body, not the self. The comprehensive approach of "moving, dismantling, repairing, supplementing, and decorating" was adopted, thus leaving the era of traditional ancient villages such as geography,
