随便问起哪个中国人,北京城的中心在哪里,答案一定是天安门。在北京城700年的营建史上,曾经的几何中心元代是中心台(今天鼓楼所在的地方);明清是“万岁山”(后称景山,俗称煤山),以此延伸,向北,向南,城市的中轴线得以划定,城市的格局就此奠定。忽必烈想不到的是,它所划定的中轴线,700多年来从未变过。 Just ask which Chinese, Beijing city center where, the answer must be Tiananmen Square. In the history of 700 years of construction in Beijing, the once geometric center of the Yuan Dynasty was the center station (the place where the Drum Tower is located today); the Ming and Qing Dynasties are “long live mountains” (later called Jingshan) North, south, the city’s central axis can be delineated, the city laid the foundation for this pattern. What Kublai could not think of was that the central axis it delineated had never changed in more than 700 years.
