Based on the theory of urban catalyst, this paper summarizes the problems and causes of landscape signs in the development of Chengnan Historical and Cultural District in Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, China, and constructs a systematic catalyst framework and overall design ideas through a combination of field research and SD method. The design and application of landscape signs are standardized to form a stage-by-stage catalyst response process to promote the sustainable development of the historic and cultural district. The study shows that at present, Quanzhou Chengnan historical and cultural district still exists problems such as incomplete system identification, vague artistic characteristics, and insufficient innovation in design forms, etc. By introducing the theory of urban catalyst, it helps to form a theoretical research system combining urban catalyst and landscape signage design, and at the same time, it also provides a new research idea for the updating and development of the landscape signage of historical and cultural districts.
