This paper examines the influence of historical and cultural factors on place identity. Material from the Guangde Lakeland in Ningbo shows that history and culture play an important role in place identity.The trace of the development of Guangde Lakeland proves that the place identity in traditional China society has some unique characteristics.
At the beginning of the 20th century,Guangde Lake became land,but the concept of the lake was still kept in the local people's mind.From the spatial distribution of sacrifice in Guangde Lakeland,its natural space and administrative district can be traced.Although space evolution is evident in Guangde Lakeland,sacrifice activities preserve its place identity.
The characteristics of sacrifice space of Guangde Lakeland show that the structure of place identity is composed of three factors,namely sacrifice space,folk God and collective memory.Folk God is the symbol of lake and irrigation work,while local collective memory promoted the development of the lake.Therefore,from the perspective of folk religion, it can be generalized that the structure of place identity is composed of three factors: space,symbol and collective memory.Space offers the container for place identity;collective memory gives the uniqueness and characters to place identities;symbol is the proof and enrichment of collective memory that bring people together.Although the three factors belong to different theory systems,they coexist and influence each other,reflecting the different facets of place identity.
