比较阅读:洪江古镇与平遥古城

Comparative Research Between HongJiang and PingYao

与选取单个古城镇进行研究的方式不同,该研究选取了两个典型实例:地处南方山区、"有机"形态的洪江古镇和地处北方平原、遵循《考工记》规划而成的"规则"形态的平遥古城,并在城镇物质形态和深层社会学含义两个层面上比较研究二者的城镇形态特点。通过实地踏勘、文献查阅,并对基础资料加以分析、归纳,发现二者在城镇物质形态方面存在着诸多差异,表现在与自然环境的关系、城镇平面形态、重要的建筑功能类型、建筑型制、建筑单元之间的关系、边界地带与河的关系,而这些差异来源于二者不同的深层社会学含义,包括城镇起源原因、城镇职能、城镇人口构成、城镇发展规律、文化原点及发展过程。

Different from research on a single ancient Town, this research choses 2 typical examples, which were the ＂organic＂ Ancient Town of Hongjiang located in the south mountain area, and the ＂regular＂ Ancient Town of Pingyao located in the north plain and planned under the theory of Kaogongji, and compared their city form on 2 levels, which were their material form and sociological characteristics behind. Through surveys, collecting documents, analyzing and summing up the fundamental information, it is discovered they are different in such aspects of their material form as the relation between town and natural environment, plan form of town, most important building type, building shape, relation among building units, relation between border zone and river in the vicinity, and the outer material differences originate from their different sociological characteristics including urban origins, urban functions, urban population make-up, urban developing rules, starting points and development of culture.
