With the rapid advancement of urbanization and the frequent occurrence of flood disasters resulting from extreme weather conditions, the living environments in traditional villages are confronting multifaceted challenges and demands. The coordinated construction wisdom manifest in these villages-where adaptation and co-evolution with the environment have cultivated an inherent resilient system characterized by holistic collaboration and dynamic adaptability, has become a cultural asset urgently in need of preservation and inheritance. This study employs data collection, field investigations, spatial analysis, and schematic expression methodologies to analyze the adaptive mechanisms of the water environment in traditional villages situated within four typical geographical contexts in Jiangxi Province: flat fields with river channels, flat fields with ponds, mixed fields with river channels, and mixed fields with ponds. It investigates the coordinated relationship between practical experiences and the construction processes, exploring village practices concerning water resource utilization, rainwater regulation, and production under varying environmental conditions. The research categorizes and summarizes the water adaptability wisdom observed in these four types of villages, offering guidance and insights for the preservation, transmission, and revitalization of traditional villages.
