The work aims to analyze and construct the cultural gene map of yurts based on the theory of culture gene from the perspective of cultural field, and inherit the cultural gene of yurts and translate it into modern design.The genographic diagram and culture evaluation model tree were established through structured analysis of dominant and hidden factor based on "people, affair, object, field and scene" in the view of cultural field from eight factors, including modeling, colour, pattern, material, process, environment, behavior, and the semanteme. The cultural gene map of yurts constructed from the perspective of cultural field can reflect the cultural characteristics of yurts more comprehensively. The design translation of yurts with this background also shows high scene and cultural immersion, thus becoming a bridge between culture and artifacts, and providing a design path for the innovation of ethnic cultural and creative products.
