Abstract

The Silk Road is another important international trade route emerging in Eurasia, and Xinjiang, as an important node of the Silk Road, is of great significance in effectively sorting out and studying the architectural cultural heritage of Xinjiang. This paper tries to introduce the concept of spatial grouping in the exploration of the conservation method of Xinjiang’s architectural and cultural heritage and deeply excavate the spatial grouping relationship between each heritage point from the spatial perspective. It combines the quantitative analysis method of space syntax and topological calculation to provide a novel method and thought for studying the spatial narrative of architectural cultural heritage and its linguistic landscape in Xinjiang. The architectural cultures of Marathi Grassland, Sayram Lake, and Kanas Lake in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are selected as the research objects, and the linguistic landscapes are divided into two dimensions of official and private linguistic landscapes for specific analysis. In the evaluation of the spatial perception of cultural architecture in Xinjiang, the weight of the permeability factor consisting of four dimensions, namely width, size, dynamics, and enclosure, is 0.6579, which verifies the feasibility of quantitative research and provides a supplement based on subjective visual perception. It is also found that both the official and private language landscapes have the national common language as the dominant language, and the language landscapes of instructional function, behavioral regulation function, and cognitive function have a larger proportion. In contrast, the other languages provide convenience for foreign tourists to a certain extent.
