The abundant water resources, rainy climate and dense water network had deeply influenced the formation and development of traditional villages in the southern Hunan region of China.？This paper was？adopted buffer zone analysis, categorical statistical analysis, vectorization analysis and data literature analysis, studied the shaping of traditional village site selection, plane form and internal spatial structure by water systems in southern Hunan, China, and the mechanism of their effects.？The results showed that:？1) The shaping ability and mechanism of the traditional village water system in Xiangnan area on spatial morphology was mainly based on the function of the water system. 2) The layout and spatial morphology of traditional villages were deeply affected by the width, area and form of water systems in Xiangnan area. 3) Traditional villages gave more consideration to water systems with large watershed areas in site selection. 4) Water systems with small watershed areas generally had a greater impact on the internal structure of traditional villages.
