This paper aims to probe into the meanings of different scenes molded by different rulers during the periods of Ming-Chen, namely Ching Dynasty and Japanchiefly according to the point of view of human being-land relationship of geography . When human beings live on the land, they are backed by a suit of value of world view, shown building location. Accordingly through the distribution of concrete structure space distributing, we can make clear the meanings behind.
During Ming-Chen, Tainan regionregime was cheifly regarded as a stronghold of overthrowing Ching Dynasty. Besides, it was not long that the ruler governed, so only some elementary construction was finished. However, through buildings displayed, the Han people’s review of traditional feng-shui was clearly shown.
The development of Tainan ancient city wall tended to maturity at the period of Ching Dynasty. With the confirmation of city wall range as well as the development of neighborhood, the Han people living on the land deeply projected their expectation onto the land. They hoped to establish the environments of settling themselves down, and the area changing shape of the view of traditional feng-shui and universe also gradually appeared.
Up to the period of Japan, Japan imperialism regarded Taiwan as an important stronghold of the empire transoceanic colonizing, so the government of Japan was devoted instilling its ruling intentions into Taiwan. Due to the influence of the view of Chinese traditional feng-shui and ation of the Meiji period, the world view of Japan empire showed another characteristic intermixing the features of the culture of Chinese with the Occident.
In order to show the differences among the variety of world view, the paper interweaved the building of ancient city and space deploy of chiefly edifices with the development of each period, to explore the diversity and common of different rulers and culture. It was visible that the Han people carried out the view of the moon-sun when building an ancient city, they took a city wall for granted and hoped to creat the conditions for their own demand. For the sake of practicability, Japaness viewed a city wall cumbersome and harmful to city development . On the basis of the world view of building space distributing, the view of traditional Chinese feng-shui and the thought of practical doctrine showed completely different styles.Different views in Tainan ancient city agitated different sparks and molded different scene of the land in city.
We can try to use different ideology that includes the wond view of the Han people’s feng-shui and world the colonizing intention of Japan to examize the visible scenes in city and to explore the real meanings behind. Through such probing, I hope to draw the outline of the important process in molding Tainan ancient city and the interior effect.
