这期节目,我们跟随纪录片主持人骑着自行车,沿着一条长达 7.8 公里的无形轴线穿越北京,解码2024年刚刚申遗成功的北京中轴线。以故宫为核心,将《周礼·考工记》的千古城建蓝图、风水与景山的人造山脉、故宫极其硬核的抗震榫卯结构——斗拱,以及老北京胡同里的世俗烟火气完美串联。
金句精选
"Beijing is a city with its face turned very firmly to the future, but it was founded on a precise straight line laid out over six hundred years ago—a historic spine aligned to the stars that has supported the growth of the rest of the city." 北京是一座坚定面朝未来的城市,但它却建立在一条600多年前画出的精密直线上——一条与星辰对齐的历史脊梁,支撑并滋养着整座城市的生长。
"If there is order in heaven, it should be represented on earth. By putting himself in the middle of this planned city along the central axis, the emperor puts himself in the middle of a universal order that revolves around him." 如果天上存在着秩序,那么地上也应当有所体现。通过将自己置于沿着中轴线规划的城市的正中心,皇帝便将自己置于了以他为核心运转的宇宙秩序的正中央。
"If you say the Forbidden City is the red flower, then all the Hutongs are the green leaves. It is the green leaves that make the flowers stand out and feed the red flowers." 如果说紫禁城是那一朵娇艳的红花,那么所有的胡同就是簇拥着它的绿叶。正是有了绿叶的衬托与滋养,红花才得以如此夺目绽放。
