“重生”的临清贡砖

THE"REBORN"LINQING TRIBUTE BRICKS

“临清的贡砖,北京的城,紫禁城上有临清。”这是一首流传于临清的古老民谣,说的是临清贡砖的一段往事。明清时期,一块块临清贡砖随船队由大运河辗转运至北京,成为营建故宫、帝王陵寝等大型建筑的主要材料,见证了临清因运河而兴的辉煌历史。如今,已被列入国家级非物质文化遗产名录的临清贡砖,在经历了一段时间的沉寂后,又重新焕发了光彩。

Numerous Linqing tribute bricks were shi pped to Beijing through the Grand Canal in the Ming and Qing Dynasties,became the main building material of the Forbidden City,Emperor's Tomband other 1arge buildings,and witnessed the glorious history of Linqing prospering in reliance uponthe canal.
