Abstract

Calligraphy landscapes, a hallmark of Chinese tradition, constitute a vital aspect of urban cultural landscapes. Their spatial characteristics and evolution amidst globalization and urban renovation are central topics in cultural geography. Harbin Ice and Snow World, renowned for its ice and snow landscapes, offers a unique platform to investigate calligraphy landscapes. By introducing a calligraphy landscape, this study explores their distribution within the Ice and Snow World, highlighting their integration with the ice and snow environments. The research reveals a distinct spatial differentiation of calligraphy landscapes within the Ice and Snow World. This differentiation exists across various ice and snow landscapes and within distinct cultural and functional zones, reflecting their deep integration with ice and snow culture. Factors influencing this spatial differentiation include modernization and globalization's impact on ice and snow culture, cultural identity's embodiment in ice and snow landscapes, urban renewal's shaping of these landscapes, and commercial drivers' promotion of calligraphy landscapes. Based on these insights, a mechanism model is constructed to explain the interplay between calligraphy and ice and snow landscapes. The study underscores calligraphy landscapes' significance in defining and characterizing the Ice and Snow World.
