Abstract: Qiantang tide-viewing is a landscape phenomenon formed by the interaction of regional natural geography and human history. Featuring unique regional characteristics, long history and culture and high ornamental value, it has formed the Qiantang cultural landscape with “tide-viewing” as the core. This research conducts a systematic study on the tide-viewing landscape of Qiantang from the perspective of images. It collects and reviews 69 relevant ancient painting images, from which 21 realistic pictures of high historical value are selected and divided into panoramic and split view types, to interpret the image contents and analyze the location distribution and spatial form characteristics of Qiantang tide-viewing landscape. The Qiantang tide-viewing landscape is closely related to the surrounding mountains and rivers: By analyzing the panoramic images, it is found out that the tide-viewing positions present the characteristics of linear distribution along the river on the north bank. By analyzing the split landscape images, three types of tide-viewing landscape space are summarized: close view of the river, overlooking the river and climbing high for a far-sighted view. The tide-viewing landscape presents the viewing characteristics different from the conventional static view and dynamic view. While the viewpoint is static, the landscape is dynamic, forming a changing line of sight with a single time direction. By exploring the historical evidence value of the realistic pictures of Qiantang tide-viewing landscape, this research discusses the changes of the locations and space of ancient and modern tide-viewing landscape, so as to reach an overall understanding of the Qiantang tide-viewing landscape, providing reference for the researches and protection of regional cultural landscape heritage.
