远芳侵古道,晴翠接荒城——西京古道的遗产价值和保护利用研究

The Fragrance of Grass Overruns the Ancient Road and Its Greenness Invades Desolate Towns:Heritage Values,Conservation and Re-use of the Xijing Ancient Postal Road

历史悠久的西京古道是沟通中原与岭南的要道。尚存于广东韶关乳源的西京古道已被列为广东省文物保护单位。文章对古道历史和文物构成做了简要梳理,并对这一文化线路遗产特殊的历史价值、文化价值和景观价值作出提炼和阐释;进而提出对古道的保护和利用应注重其与山野环境的完整性,采取适度原则,实施最小干预,恢复“石阶除道”的民俗,保证古驿道的日常修葺及维护,在保护与展示之间取得平衡,让古道与城乡生活紧密连接。

An ancient road to the Western Capital, as Xi’an was once known, the Xijing Ancient Postal Road used to be the main road connecting the Central Plains with the Lingnan area south of the Five Ridges. A section of the Xijing Ancient Postal Road still exists in Ruyuan County in Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province and has been listed as a provisional-level cultural heritage protection area. The history of the ancient road and the composition of its cultural heritage sites, such as pavilions, stone bridges and steps, steles and related conventions, are briefly reviewed to indicate the natural, historical and cultural values of this linear heritage site. Furthermore, the conservation and re-use of ancient roads should consider their integrity in the mountainous natural environment by adopting the principle of moderation and implementing minimum interventions to restore the villagers’ folk custom of ‘repaving roads with stone’. The target of the conservation and re-use is to ensure the routine repair and maintenance of the Xijing Ancient Postal Road and find the balance between conservation and display, and connect the ancient road with modern urban and rural life.
