Abstract:In the mid-19th century, Foochow rose as the most important port for tea processing, trade and export in China. It not only constituted an ideal example of industry-driven urban construction in modern China, but also provided a sample to understand the characteristics and mechanisms of urban heritage along the“Maritime Silk Road”. This article selects three tea districts, Shangxiahang Fanchuanpu and Cangqian, in Foochow for case studies. It introduces the concept of“industrial landscape”by integrating lost evidence related to urban space from multi-disciplinary materials in order to recover the structure of historic urban landscape. It further investigates the correlation between activity and space of tea community, and summarizes the characteristics and rules of the productive, trading, living and spiritual landscapes. Finally, with the method of imagined drawings, it tries to represent an urban landscape with interwoven spatial and social clues, thus contributing to the methodological discussion of the cognition and reconstruction of urban heritage in modern China.
