Abstract: The related concepts of traditional villages and landscape languages were expounded and studied and a system that can effectively identify the landscape characteristics of traditional villages was established. Taking the Yishala village in Panzhihua, Sichuan as an example, detailed analysis and demonstration from the three aspects of "context-grammar - vocabulary" were made in order to make sure that the system can be accurately understood, conveyed and used as a language. This is not only helpful to the continuation of the traditional village landscape, but also provides another way of thinking and method for the inheritance and innovation of the traditional village landscape language under the new era background.

Key words: traditional village, landscape design language, Yishala village
