The development of the city originated from the settlement, and the development of the settlement began in the basic space unit - the courtyard. With the development of society, economy and population, these courtyards with similar morphological characteristics are repeated and combined along the horizontal and vertical directions to form a group of house buildings, Fangxiang buildings, settlement groups and even a city and country. In the historical changes of more than 2,200 years, Fuzhou City has experienced the Han Dynasty-Ye City, the Jin Dynasty-Zi City,the Tang Dynasty -Luo City, the Liang Dynasty-Jia City, the Song Dynasty-Wai City, the Ming Dynasty-Fu City, the Qing Dynasty-Hui City, and the modern Fuzhou City.But no matter how the urban form evolves,there has been a central axis of the city that has grown from north to south with historical time. On the central axis, it still maintains the complete traditional settlement form of the Ming and Qing Dynasties,such as the three lanes and seven alleys traditional settlement which was lived by national elites and literati in the Ming and Qing Dynasty and was just like Living stone of buildings in the Tang Dynasty;Shangxiahang traditional settlement which was developed by Mingjiang River as commercial settlement in the Ming and Qing Dynasty,Yantaishan traditional settlement which was developed by foreign culture as mountain ecological settlement in the end of the Qing Dynasty, and Zhuzifang traditional settlement where lived Naval generals in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China…… These traditional urban settlements have very valuable research value. This paper takes the traditional settlements on the central axis of Fuzhou city as the research object, analyzes the characteristics of the hidden urban network structure of different types of traditional settlement forms from the timeline and the spatial axis, and draws on the research methods of urban morphology theory, combined with quantification. The technical means-space syntax and social network analysis method, from the perspective of morphological dimension and social network evaluation, respectively, deeply analyze the characteristics of traditional settlement form space and hierarchical network hidden in the central axis of Fuzhou city. The timeline intercepts six historical time points—the Jin Dynasty -Zi City, the Tang Dynasty -Luo City, the Song Dynasty -Wai City, the Qing Dynasty -Hui City, modern Fuzhou City,and contemporary Fuzhou City. The space axis intercepts three typical traditional settlements on the central axis of Fuzhou City— the three lanes and seven alleys traditional settlement, Shangxiahang traditional settlement and Yantaishan traditional settlement. We have sorted out the dominant features of traditional urban settlements with the theory of urban spatial structure change and lots of ancient maps, plan maps, and aerial maps. Through the calculation, analysis and induction of relevant parameters, two special levels (spatial cohesive level and spatial visual level) and networked system structure of traditional settlements are deeply analyzed. We also have supposed to argue two propositions,the one is whether the geometric centralization of the house is related to the development of organic linearization of urban streets;the other one is what is the relationship between the high wall barrier of the house and the development of limited space visibility.We try to find the interrelationship between the spatial hierarchy and the spatial structure consistent with the shape of the city and its evolution.
