先秦时期是中国古代城乡规划知识传统奠基的时代，这一时期的规划方法是中国古代规划方法的源头和根基，先秦传世文献则是研究先秦规划方法最为系统、可靠和重要的信息来源。.现有研究对考古资料较为依赖，对文献的利用呈现出片段化的特点，且较多关注城邑尺度，全面、系统地利用先秦传世文献，对中国早期规划方法进行多层次、整体性的研究，是亟须填补的学术空白。.本课题采用长时段历史研究的方法，以实证与建构相结合，首先，分析归纳文献信息，提炼主要文献所包含的概念体系；其次，演绎建构方法体系，揭示规划方法的框架、内容、演化关系和动力动因；第三，构想规划方法所体现的空间模式；最后，挖掘规划方法的现代价值。.本课题的创新之处体现在：1，对先秦传世文献中的规划方法进行全面、系统的挖掘；2，对中国早期规划方法进行多空间层次的整体研究；3，综合运用传统文献学方法和数字人文方法分析规划相关的历史信息。

Pre-Qin period is the time when the knowledge tradition of urban and rural planning in ancient China laid the foundation. The planning methods in this period are the source and foundation of the planning methods in ancient China. The traditional literature in Pre-Qin period is the most systematic, reliable and important source for the study of the planning methods in Pre-Qin period..Previous research, which relies much on archaeological materials, presenting fragmentary characteristics in the use of traditional literature and mainly focusing on city scale. Making comprehensive and systematic use of the traditional literature of the Pre-Qin period, and carrying out multi-level and holistic research on early China's planning methods, is an academic gap that needs to be filled urgently..This research adopts long-time historical research method and combines demonstration with construction. Firstly, it analyses and summarizes the literature information and refines the concept system contained in the main literature. Secondly, it deduces and reveals the framework, content, evolutionary relationship and dynamic of the planning methods. Thirdly, it conceives the spatial pattern embodied in the planning methods. Finally, it excavates the modern value of planning methods..The innovations of this research are as follows. Firstly, it comprehensively and systematically digs out the planning methods in the traditional literature of the Pre-Qin period. Secondly, it studies the early China planning methods in a holistic way throughout multiple spatial scales. Thirdly, it comprehensively analyzes the historical materials related to planning by using traditional philology as well as digital humanities methods.
