军事、文化和社会——中国古代城市天际线要素变迁初探

Military,Culture and Society:Evolution and Formation of Skyline Elements in Ancient Chinese Cities

城市天际线,作为重要的城市形态特征,自古以来就与城市发展有着密切联系。目前对中国古代城市演变的研究,大多关注其平面形制和等级空间,而城市的竖向形态,如城市天际线及其要素长期受到忽视。该文着重探讨了四种具有代表性的天际线要素,以它们为切入点,梳理了中国古代城市天际线要素的发展历程。然后,从社会文化结合空间生产的视角,分析影响天际线要素变迁的动因,主要归为三个方面的因素。

Skyline,as an important characteristic of urban form,is closed related to the urban development since the ancient time.Most of the researches on the development of ancient Chinese cities are focus on the flat form or hierarchic space.The vertical form,such as the skyline,has long been neglected.In this paper we discussed four representative skyline elements,and retrospectively analyzed the evolution process of skyline in ancient Chinese cities,thus,with the perspective of social and cultural,we researched the reason which caused changes of skyline,and divided it into three critical factors.
