Abstract

During the period of "Promotion of education with temple property", the combination of temples and academy was an important feature of traditional Chinese campus planning and design. The Confucious ideology of "live for the people" was consistent with the Mahayana Buddhism spirit of "To save the world while benefiting the people". The thesis analyzes the main spatial structure of traditional campus planning under the temple-academic system and discusses the evolution process of formation of the traditional campus under the game between "Temple" and "Academy". Based on historical archives, The urban spatial layout of Hanyang is characterized by the spatial game between educational space and ritual space. The changes in urban morphology confirm the demands of power for urban space.
