Abstract:This paper takes the Emengole Gacha of Alashan Qi as a representative case. With the Desert Silk Road as the background, based on the perspective of multicultural communication, and through research methods of literature research and oral history, it divides the village spatial changes into three phases of the initial period, development and maturity, and reveals the impact of the introduction and development of Tibetan Buddhism on the formation of Alashan settlements under the background of the desert Silk Road and the interactive effect of policy guidance on the village space. Studies have shown that the Desert Silk Road provides a prerequisite for the site selection of Tibetan Buddhist temples represented by Zhaohua Temple. Under the guidance of Tibetan Buddhist culture, Emengole Village’s development of settlement pattern presents a process of change from a single religious settlement pattern to a double-group settlement centered on Tibetan Buddhism, which eventually evolves into a three-group settlement pattern. This multi-group spatial pattern is a direct result of the government’s guidance and regulation of Mongolian policies in different periods. Through the study of Alashan settlements represented by Emengole Gacha, it is possible to reflect the social and settlement changes under the influence of multiculturalism in Inner Mongolia.
