说不尽的新与旧 双面西安

Xi'an's Dual Personalities: The Past and Present of The Ancient Capital of China

有人把中国比作一棵参天大树,如果北京是这棵树的树冠,那么西安则是这棵树在地下盘结交错的根系在西安,更多的是中华民族千百年的淤积,文化、习俗、价值、美德、传统、甚至糟粕。你很难用三言两语将其概括、归类、分析直到总结。这里所有过去存在着的、现在存在着的,你只能先静下心来细细品味,之后再下结论不迟。

It's hard to brief the thousands of years of history here into several simple sentences. You can find evidence of the past and present in the city. You need to feel them with tranquiliy first and then, make the conclusion.
