试论杭州城市文化的“根”与“魂”

On the "Root" and "Soul" of Hangzhou Urban Culture

本文通过介绍和分析20世纪初德国记者艾格纳和美国收藏家弗利尔这两位外国人在杭州拍摄的一系列老照片,以追溯西湖景区一些历史景点的真实原貌,进而对杭州政府部门如何保护和发扬本地历史文化遗产这一重要工作提出具体的改进意见。同时也对当地园林部门在重修和恢复历史景点时应当如何传承杭州建筑元素和确保杭州城市文化的"根"和"魂"的理论问题进行了探讨。

By introducing and analyzing a series of old photographs taken respectively by two foreigners during the early 20th century, this article intends to explore the real conditions of some of the historical sites or tourist attractions around the West Lake, in order to provide the municipal government of Hangzhou with some practical ideas on how to protect and carry on the local historical and cultural her- itage. At the same time, the author also wants to discuss the theoretical issue of how to inherit the local architectural elements of Hangzhou, in order to preserve the ＂root＂ and ＂soul＂ of Hangzhou urban cul- ture.＂
