传统“古迹”语境下西湖苏堤历史叙事与价值阐释 #

Historical Narrative and Value Interpretation of Su Causeway of West Lake in Traditional Chinese Guji Context

摘要:

中国古代有珍重历史遗存的传统，以“古迹”为核心形成了本土遗产话语。本文基于方志、图像等史料，重构了古代传统“古迹”语境下杭州西湖苏堤的历史叙事：苏堤至迟在南宋中叶被列为古迹，并经循环阐释凝练成“苏堤春晓”一景，后又借由清康乾题名、立碑建亭促成景物焦点转移。揭示了中国古代“源流并重”“地以人胜”的古迹观念，重视古迹记录建档、阐释传播的保护行为。阐释了在此观念影响下，苏堤的历史价值，以人物纪念、社会教化为主的社会价值，以“叠晕之美”为主的美学价值。

Abstract:

Back in ancient China, a prevalent tradition of cherishing historical remains fostered the development of the indigenous heritage discourse centred around the concept o“Guji”. This paper endeavours to reconstruct the historical narrative of Su Causeway of the West Lake in Hangzhou within the context of“Guji”, utilising chorographies, images, and other historical materials: During the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, Su Causeway was designated as a“Guji”and over time evolved into the picturesque landscape known as“Su Causeway in the Morning of Spring”by continuous interpretation；And in the Qing Dynasty, the focus of the landscape changed as a result of inscriptions by the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors, as well as the construction of stone tablets and pavilions to protect them by officials. This study reveals ancient Chinese principles that highlight the equal significance of historical information at each stage and the value of heritage in commemorating individuals. This study further elucidates the historical value and social value of character commemoration and social enlightenment, along with the aesthetic value derived from multi-layered aesthetics, through the lens of the concepts of“Guji”.
