本项目是一种扎根于传统的、以“超文本”方式进行的“种子研究”，强调以“用户人群”为核心，以“关键问题”为导向，以“有限目标”为牵引，聚焦于中观尺度的“乡村地文”，运用“扎根理论”方法，通过“文献整理、实地调研、分类比较、选择编码、抽象提炼、形成模式、构建理论”的技术路径，从区域和地方的角度针对乡村设计及其相关问题寻找“协同增效”的最优解。通过研究云南乡村地文的构成要素和形态演变规律，拓展整体关联的、连续动态的和综合思辨的“乡村设计”研究思路和方法，通过“建构的唯理主义”，在无序中寻找秩序，发现“乡村地文的遗传基因、生成逻辑和智慧体系”，完善“乡村设计的学科体系、原则方法和模式语言”，从而建立一系列乡村设计的普适性原则，提供乡村地文建构知识系统的便捷途径，并使之成为面向未来的乡村持续发展的基础和工具，力图对拓展和深化乡村设计理论研究以及中国乡村发展实践有所贡献。

The study is one kind of “seminal work” which rooted in the tradition and written in "hypertext fashion". With “user groups” as the core, with “critical issues” as a guide, with “finite goal” for traction, and focused on mesoscale “landscrift”, it apply “grounded theory” to establish the theoretical base for rural design and the importance of looking at connecting issues to create synergy and optimal solutions from a region and local perspective. From literature arrangement, field research, classified comparison, selecting coding, abstract and refine, forming pattern, to constructing theory, the technological path is by designed. By study elements of Yunnan rural landscrift and its morphological evolution law, the study strives to development the ideas and methods of rural design with overall correlation, continuous dynamic, and comprehensive thinking. Through constructive rationalism, in the search for order in the disorder, the study tries to find the genetic gene and intelligent system of rural landscrift and its generation logic, to perfect the discipline system and principle of rural design and its pattern language. Thereby, the principle of universality for rural design can be established, and the convenient way to the knowledge system of rural landscrift can be found. The Rural Landscrift Pattern Language maybe become the basis and tools for rural China’s future, both in theory and practice.
