Small town is a key point in China's urbanization to achieve urban-rural integration. Style is a significant factor to evaluate development. In order to resolve problems, such as lack of protection to historic style, confusion in expression to current style and insufficient in innovation to future style, this article analyzed the connotation, significance and characteristics of style symbol through a comparison with style carrier. Then, it makes a further symbol subdivision according to topography, geology, hydrology, meteorology climate, landscape ecology, as well as history, culture, industry, economic, spatial texture and the community spirit. In addition, this paper proposes strategies on the protection, expression and innovation in style-shaping, hoping to promote further research and practice.
