Description

The Yellow River culture is one of the origins of Chinese civilization. The section of the Yellow River Basin in Qinghai Province contains more than 70% of the cultural heritage of Qinghai Province. It is not only the central hinterland for the inheritance of historical culture in Qinghai Province, but also a key node of the heritage corridor in the Yellow River Basin. Analyzing the distribution characteristics of its cultural heritage and exploring its influencing mechanisms have important theoretical and practical significance for the protection of historical culture in Qinghai Province and even in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. Taking 2,727 cultural heritages in the study area as the research objects, this paper uses the Arcgis platform and remote sensing information data to classify and segmentally identify the spatial locations of cultural heritage carriers in different periods. By calculating parameters such as the kernel density analysis model and the nearest neighbor index, it systematically analyzes the characteristics of spatial and temporal distribution. At the same time, based on the perspective of new historical theory, this study examines the generation and evolution of cultural heritage from both historical and geographical dimensions, reveals its main influencing factors and action mechanisms, and proposes corresponding protection and inheritance strategies, providing reference for the protection and inheritance of historical culture in the section of the Yellow River Basin in Qinghai Province.
The results show that: 1) In terms of spatial distribution, the cultural heritages are characterized by large - scale aggregation and small - scale dispersion. The high - density areas are concentrated in Xining City. The high - density core areas in different periods show a fluctuating distribution centered around Xining City. 2) In terms of spatial evolution, it can be divided into six time periods for research: ancient Qiang culture, integration of Han culture, integration of Tubo culture, co - existence of multiple ethnic groups, and relative stability. The cultural heritages mainly show the characteristic of changing from concentration in the Hehuang area to dispersion in the surrounding areas. 3) In terms of influencing factors, the spatial distribution of cultural heritages is affected by key factors such as topography, basin hydrology, climatic conditions, and political culture.
