3.3.4. The Landscape of the Food Culture Experience Zone

The landscape of the food culture experience zone is mainly divided into three parts, one is the food culture display tour area along the street outside the ancient house, one is the Hundred-family Feast Experience Centre inside the ancient house, and one is the Hundredfamily Feast Cultural Exchange Hall adjacent to the ancient house (as shown in Figure 9). The food culture exhibition and tour area provide detailed information on the names, origins, meanings and production methods of the dishes in the Taishun Hundred-family Feast culture, as well as the local food characteristics and eating habits; the Hundred-family Feast Experience Centre provides direct experience of the banquet from preparation to the opening of the banquet; and the Hundred-family Feast Culture Exchange Hall allows you to learn first hand about the activities related to the Taishun Hundred-family Feast culture.

**Figure 9.** Plan of food culture experience zone landscape.

The landscape element carrier in this zone is the dishes display wall that showcases the elements of the Hundred-family Feast culture in the form of a banquet of blessings. The structure of the wall is characterized by the style of ancient local architecture. The dishes in the banquet are modelled and displayed in the form of round tables and benches, and each dish is linked to the paving of how to prepare it. Therefore, it enhances the exploration of the landscape and contributes to the understanding of the food culture of Taishun's Hundred-family Feast culture (as shown in Figure 10). Furthermore, the spatial carrier for landscape activities in this zone is composed of an internal and external courtyard. The internal courtyard is reasonably divided into the various working areas of the banquet, with a clear division of labour to facilitate the activities of the banquet. The external landscape is located along Guiyan road, not only attracting people who want to learn about food culture but also providing a space for pedestrians to rest and watch. The cultural wall shows the local culinary characteristics and the names of the dishes, and the materials used to make them. Meanwhile, the interactive mobile phone can be used to scan the code to understand the process of making each dish, enhancing the interaction between people and the landscape (as described in Figure 11).

3.3.5. The Landscape of Ritual Culture Experience Zone

The landscape of the ritual culture experience zone is divided into two parts, an area outside the ancestral shrine bordering the neighbourhood and a ritual space inside the ancestral shrine (as illustrated in Figure 12). The contemplation area is used to tell the story of the culture of spring rituals and the introduction of the ancestors, and the ritual space is used to perform rituals related to spring rituals.

**Figure 12.** Plan of Ritual culture experience zone landscape.

The design concept of the festival culture experience sculpture comes from the custom of hanging bamboo bars with bamboo leaves on the roof during the Hundred-family Feast culture so that the ancestors can stay and celebrate the Lantern Festival with the people. The form is based on the outline of the Zhangzhai village building, with the main house in the middle and the compartments on the left and right sides. The bamboo bars are used to show the outline in an array of different heights so that people can associate it with the form of ancient buildings, and a pathway is left in the middle, which also passes through the main house from the middle, where people stay with a feeling of remembrance and contemplation, forming a space for infinite reverie. Furthermore, the plants on the bottom side grow upwards along the bamboo bar, which not only softens the hard sculpture but expresses the symbolism of life and positivity is used to commemorate the ancestors and to send blessings to the people through the ancestors resting on the bamboo bar with the green colour (as shown in Figure 13).

The overall atmosphere created by the ritual culture theme landscape is tranquil, simple and serious, and the overall layout is very neat and tidy, with green bamboo as the main planting to support the cultural atmosphere. The landscape space outside the ancestral shrine allows people to learn about the cultural content, the deeds of the ancestors and the development of the clan through the ritual culture wall. The landscape atmosphere creates a sense of remembrance for the ancestors. Inside the ancestral shrine, people can experience the rituals of spring rituals, feel the ritual culture and beg for the blessing of their ancestors (as shown in Figure 14).

3.3.6. The Landscape of Activity Performance Experience Zone

This thematic landscape is divided into two parts, the outdoor performance theatre on the north side and the viewing platform on the south side (as shown in Figure 15). The outdoor performance theatre showcases each of the performances of the Taishun Hundred-family Feast culture, while the viewing platform not only allows you to climb up the mountain to see the natural landscape but also to stand on high ground and watch the performances.

**Figure 15.** Plan of Activity performance experience zone landscape.

The lantern viewing platform uses the red lantern, the most representative of Taishun's Hundred-family Feast culture, as a landscape element. The skeleton form in the lantern is used as the supporting structure and railing of the viewing platform, the red body of the lantern is used as the top of the landscape platform to shelter from the rain, and the lantern's lamp holder is decorated on the top of the landscape platform. The whole form is combined similar to a red lantern hanging in a high place, full of good symbolic meaning (as illustrated in Figure 16).

**Figure 16.** Lantern viewing platform.

The outdoor performance theatre is mainly used for the performance of activities such as puppet shows, folk music and so on in the Taishun Hundred-family Feast culture. In the centre is a large stage for the performers to take to the stage, with a small space for the performers to rest and prepare for some behind-the-scenes work. The audience is

positioned directly opposite the stage, taking advantage of the height difference created by a wall behind the space to create a stepped outdoor theatre, providing a more comfortable and spacious viewing space. The performance evokes a cultural memory of the place and enhances the experience of the outdoor performance theatre landscape space (as shown in Figure 17).

3.3.7. The Landscape of the Hundred-Family Feast Culture District Experience Zone

The landscape of the Hundred-family Feast culture district experience zone is mainly divided into three parts: a traffic roundabout at the intersection of Guiyan Road and Longxiang Road, a street recreation and fitness space at the convergence of Guiyan Road and Renmin Road, and a rest and play space with the dragon and phoenix lion lamp as the main expression (as illustrated in Figure 18). The landscape island and unique sculptures set the atmosphere of the street, the recreation and fitness space show the elements and contents of the culture of the Taishun Hundred-family Feast, and the rest and play space show the cultural characteristics of the dragon and phoenix lion lamps.

There are two landscape element carriers that were proposed in the district experience zone. The first is the Fufang sculpture. It uses the street-tour activity of the Taishun Hundred-family Feast culture, where people carry the idol in a palanquin, and the flat structure of the palanquin on wood is selected and presented in the form of a sculpture. The overall structure of the sculpture is made up of interlocking red wooden sticks, with overlapping baffles supporting the structure of the sticks and the use of red glass to enhance the permeability of the statue. The red square in the centre is held up and protected by the interlocking structures around it, which is an important symbol, and the word "fortune" is used as a symbol of the square, which better reflects the importance and representativeness of the word "fortune" in the culture of the Taishun Hundred-family Feast (as shown in Figure 19). The second is the dragon phoenix and lion lamp that derives from the lamp performance of a dragon, phoenix and lion in the Taishun Hundred-family Feast culture. It applies the unique colour scheme and structural form of the lamp to the landscape miniature, simplifying and artistically expressing the form of the horse by using the three fixed colours of red, yellow and cyan. The colours are divided into different sections, with the cyan part being played by people, from which the horse forms are extracted and replaced through the cyan glass (as shown in Figure 20).

The landscape space of this zone is presented by the dragon, phoenix and lion lamp performance. The overall landscape is built around this theme, both in terms of colour and form, and is integrated with the landscape in a more straightforward and more explicit form, with the sculpture plaza space, resting and viewing space and water play space combined. The sculptures of different forms of dragon phoenix and lion lamps attract people to participate in them, shuttling between the sculptures to take photos. People can also watch, wait and rest through the resting space on the side, and there are some dragon and phoenix lights on the water in front of the square, as well as several small springs for people to play in (as illustrated in Figure 21).
