欧洲建筑中的“中国风”

The "Chinoiserie" in Europe Architecture

16世纪欧洲至东方的航线开辟以来,中国的瓷器、家具、丝绸等艺术品大量传入欧洲,在欧洲掀起了一阵"中国风"。中国传统建筑样式通过传教士的传播,曾在一定时期和范围内引起了不小的轰动,上至帝王,下到普通平民,都竞相模仿建造中国式的园林和宫殿。中国的传统建筑历经几千年的演变,蕴涵着丰富着美学思想,具有独特的美。而正是这种独特性吸引了欧洲的关注和仿效,其影响至今不绝如缕。

In the 16th century, since the sea route between Europe and the Orient had been opened up, Chinese artifacts such as porcelain, furniture, and silk cloth were brought into Europe in large quantities, where they were so popular that they developed into ＂Chinoiserie＂ in Europe. The traditional Chinese architecture style popularized by missionaries had caused a dramatic stir in certain areas of Europe for a period of time. People ranging from the king through to common civilians all made great efforts to imitate and build Chinese - style gardens and palaces. The traditional Chinese architecture, which had experienced thousands of years of evolution, was abundantly imbued with aesthetic ideas and characterized by unique beauty. And it was this kind of special beauty that had attracted European attention and imitation, the influence of which has lingered on up to now.
