Abstract: 【Objectives】By interpreting the spatial positioning of the Mount Hua Scenic Area, it is helpful to comprehensively understand the fundamental connotation of the formation of the scenic system in the scenic area. 【Methods】Taking the Mount Hua Scenic Area, the western mountain of the traditional famous mountain system “Five Mountains”, as an example, using grounded theory and interpretive historical research methods, this paper sorts out relevant historical materials, analyzes the relationship between spatial alignment and spatial control, explores the ideal pattern of spatial order and site selection at the national scale, as well as the differential structure behind the function and level, and further studies the internal connection between the two levels of cultural composition. 【Results】And finally interprets the spatial positioning of ancient Mount Hua as a “central trunk dragon vein, capital and capital region”. The “Zhonggan Dragon Vein” is reflected in the “Gen position” of Mount Hua as the “auspicious land”, the core of the “Four Mountains and Five Mountains”, and the feng shui treasure land model where Huayin is located in the “Yin Yang Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces”; The importance of Mount Hua’s geographical location in terms of geographical advantage, land administration, and geopolitics is reflected in the “capital region”. 【Conclusions】On the one hand, this article establishes the historical background and spatial prototype for studying the overall layout of Mount Hua Scenic Area on the national scale, and on the other hand, it provides a theoretical basis for interpreting the internal logic and cultural connection of the spatial positioning of Mount Hua Scenic Area. It actively promotes the inheritance of spatial logic principles in scenic areas, the protection of landscape cultural heritage, and the integration and optimization of the system of scenic areas and natural reserves Declaration of the World Cultural Heritage of the “Five Mountains Alliance”.
