As one of the important components of a city, traditional buildings in different regions just reflect the differences of cities in different regions, and the analysis of the value hierarchy of its constituent elements can reveal the corresponding urban characteristics. This paper selects the representative traditional buildings in the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Bohai Rim region as the research object, takes “perception” as the core concept, combines questionnaires, status surveys, and other methods to obtain and filter traditional architectural elements, and uses the principal components with the help of SPSS software. The analysis method calculates the filtered traditional building elements in the three regions and obtains the principal component composition and hierarchical order of them. Finally, the data results are combined with qualitative analysis to judge the different orders of the traditional building elements in the three regions and their impact on the development of their respective urban contexts.
