华夏正统与城市兴衰:古都南京的历史特质

Chinese Orthodoxy and Urban Rise and Fall: Historical Qualities of Nanjing as an Ancient Capital

立足于中国历史与地理的时空,以及中国政治与文化(民族)的立场,作为历史都城的南京,是南中国的第一古都,是进取而非偏安之都,是华夏(汉族)正统之都。而就南京本身以论其特质,则关键在于兴衰起伏的古都之具象与意象,这种兴衰起伏,表现在城市建筑的屡遭损毁、城市称谓的褒贬变迁、南京与扬州的地位比较以及文学书写中的南京等诸多方面。时至今日,南京历史研究亟待开展的工作是"复原作业",即汇编《南京古旧地图集》、编绘《南京历史地图集》。

Based on the space-time Chinese history and geography, as well as Chinese political and cultural （ethnic） stand, as a historical capital, Nanjing is both the first ancient capital of south China and also aggressive rather than breeding ground of all, it is the Chinese （Han） orthodox cap- ital. Just in Nanjing itself on its characteristics, the key lies in the figurative and imagery ancient capital of the ups and downs. Such ups and downs showed in the repeated damage to city buildings, city appraise title changes, comparing the status of Nanjing and Yangzhou, and literary writing Nan- jing in many aspects. Today, the urgent work of Nanjing historical research is to carry out ＂recovery operations＂, namely the compilation ＂Nanjing old Atlas＂ and compilation ＂Historical Atlas of Nan- jing＂.
