3.4.6. Intermediary Centre Potential

Figure 7 shows that the PGM's intermediary centrality potential (34.54%) is high. This indicates that its overall intermediary centrality potential is high. It also shows that the overall centrality of its network is increased. This is due to the nature of the temple as a typical building of the Bai's unique Lord worship culture. Therefore, its ability to resist the impact of foreign culture is vital. In contrast, the intermediary centrality potential of GPD (16.63%) is low. It indicates that its overall intermediary centrality is low. Meanwhile, the overall centrality of the network is low. This reflects the more homogeneous distribution of auspicious elements. It reflects the more significant impact of foreign culture brought by tourism development.

#### *4.1. Shaxi Bai Traditional Architecture Auspicious Cultural Expression*

This study demonstrates that wood, stone, and other decorative arts are employed frequently. The structure has extensive woodwork, small woodwork, bright paintings, and tiles. They are the main thing that people express lucky culture. On the one hand, several research studies on lucky architectural ornamental designs [27–30]. They focused on extensive and small woodwork, ridge creatures, pedestals, and brilliant paintings. However, the tiles are rarely included as an architectural element. On the other hand, much research has investigated the tile pendant's lucky culture [31–33]. Nevertheless, most have concentrated on tile pendants as a distinct architectural component. The study revealed that each building type's lucky elements cluster into unit clusters. Moreover, tile pendants play a particular function in the manifestation of lucky culture. Based on this, the tiles should form a complete system with other elements. It is used to study the lucky details in traditional architecture. It provides a new perspective on building preservation and renovation.
