摘要

Against the backdrop of my country’s aging population and the transformation of memorial landscape functions driven by funeral reforms (i.e., land conservation, ecology, civilization, and people-oriented), traditional memorial spaces face the dilemma of fragmented ecological narratives, intergenerational memory gaps, and a lack of emotional response. By focusing on the “life metaphor-memory field” coupling mechanism, taking the landscape planning of Wuhan’s Xianhe Lake as an example, this paper integrates ecological semiotics, place theory, and environmental psychology: (1) analyzing the symbolic translation logic of natural phenomena as carriers of life philosophy; (2) constructing a memory field space strategy that fits cognitive characteristics. A three-stage design method of “metaphor prototype extraction → memory scene translation → participatory narrative activation” is proposed, emphasizing the coupling isomorphism between natural ecological processes and life stories, and shaping memorial fields that integrate ecological education, emotional healing, and intergenerational connections, in order to construct a theoretical framework for memorial landscapes based on ecological narratives and provide a replicable paradigm for the humanization and sustainable design of memorial landscapes.
