Taking Songpan County as an example, through data reference and field research, the overall spatial landscape, public space characteristics and residential courtyard space features in the village’s physical space features are studied, and the protection strategies of traditional religious villages rooted in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River are explored. It provides useful reference in theory and practice for the protection and construction of traditional villages in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River.
