The White Crane Ridge in Fuling District: The Production of Space and Educational Significance of China’s Past
Abstract
The White Crane Ridge in Fuling, China, is a significant cultural monument that exemplifies the development of space production via its historical, artistic, and practical changes. This article examines the various and complex meanings of the White Crane Ridge, charting its evolution from
a natural rock formation to a well-known hydrological station, artistic venue, place of religious importance, and instrument of political influence. This article utilizes Lefebvre’s theory of spatial production to examine the transformation of White Crane Ridge’s space due to various social,
cultural, and political influences over history. The findings emphasize the Ridge’s significance as a connection between the past and present, highlighting its contributions to cultural heritage and its identification by UNESCO as a distinct ancient hydrological station. The study provides
recommendations for improving cultural communication and educational integration. It also proposes conducting more research on comparative stone carving art processes to gain a more profound knowledge of spatial heritage and production dynamics.
