易象之城:古城空间设计的文化建构

Cultural construction of the spatial design of Weishan Ancient Town

本文以云南巍山古城为例,通过古代舆图、卫星图以及对古城空间不同描述,比较空间模型的几种文本,分析古代空间观念中关于天地脉象与人文运势、山河格局与国计民生、超空间的"气""穴"与超时间的"命相"等关系,指出,城市是人在欲居之地建构的一种群聚性空间,它不仅仅是人生存、居住需求的物质性载体,也是人与人结构社会组织,开展经济活动,进行文化交流的媒介性载体,同时,它还可能是某种文化传统、意识形态或宗教信仰的精神性载体。

This case study of Weishan Ancient Town focuses on the analysis of the ancient maps, satellite imageries as well as different descriptions about the ancient spatial models and concepts,in-cluding the relations between the relevant natural and cultural phenomena,between the geographic features and livelihood,and between some hyperspatial concepts and supertemporal concepts.It points out that the city is a space of group settlement,which is not only the material carrier of people’ s demand for survival and inhabitation,but also an intermediary for interpersonal activities in the as-pects of economy,culture and social organization as well as a spiritual carrier of some cultural tradi-tions,ideologies or religious beliefs.
