Abstract:Fengshui pond, commonly seen in Lingnan rural areas, is a distinctive local cultural landscape that has a rich cultural connotation of a village. In the new era, retaining hometown nostalgia and keeping the Lingnan distinctive culture “alive” have become the focus of the landscape renewal of Fengshui ponds. This study analyzes the material, clan, and spiritual culture of Fengshui ponds, and proposes living renewal strategies to protect, inherit and develop local culture, which specifically are to improve the environment, adapt to the needs of human settlements, and operate with vitality and distinctiveness. Taking Ailiantang Park in Nancun Village as a case, this study analyzes its cultural characteristics, and renews the Lingnan rural Fengshui pond through living renewal measures such as protecting traditional culture-related objects and improving the overall landscape, adapting to human settlement needs and building the complex space, constructing a cultural vitality chain and carrying out various operational activities, thus realizing cultural inheritance.
