我的北京花園

前言

北京是偉大祖國(guó)的首都，是名震中外的歷史文化名城。她有著三千多年的建城史和八百多年的定都史，白元朝迄今，北京作為全國(guó)的政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化中心，積淀了豐厚的歷史文化遺存，承載著中華文明的精華，是我國(guó)燦爛輝煌的歷史文化的偉大象征。在這里，優(yōu)美秀麗的風(fēng)景名勝、巍峨厚重的宮殿城闕、布局齊整的街巷胡同、京腔京調(diào)的語(yǔ)言文化、五方雜厝的社會(huì)習(xí)俗，以及源遠(yuǎn)流長(zhǎng)的神話傳說(shuō)，使這座千年古都顯得神秘而博大。北京宛若一座盛藏著豐富古董的歷史博物館，堪稱(chēng)東方歷史、文化、藝術(shù)的璀璨寶庫(kù)，令人目不暇接、回味無(wú)窮。自元代以來(lái)，世界各地的人們從四方八面來(lái)到北京，或旅行游覽，或講經(jīng)傳教，或從事經(jīng)貿(mào)，或供職朝廷，北京開(kāi)始成為世界人民向往的名都。元代的“汗八里”城即是一座享譽(yù)世界的國(guó)際性大都市，是中西文化交流的樞紐。元朝時(shí)有馬可·波羅、孟特·科維諾、熱拉德、安德魯、帕烈格利諾、托馬斯、彼得、馬黎諾里等西方人士先后來(lái)到北京，他們大多將自己的經(jīng)歷寫(xiě)成游記，增進(jìn)了歐洲人民對(duì)遙遠(yuǎn)的中國(guó)的了解。其中意大利人馬可·波羅在元大都游歷并被任命官職，回國(guó)后留下的((馬可·波羅游記》詳述了大都城的壯麗景象，令西方讀者驚羨不已，成為近代西方對(duì)外殖民拓展的一大動(dòng)力。

章節(jié)摘錄

When I think of Peking now，I still think first of the awful ruts in the roads and the blinding，choking dust in those parts of the city where ordinary people live；but each day that impression is weakening，and my mind is beginning to rest more and more on the fajry-tale-like kaleidoscope of colour——yellow，green，dark blue，and yet more beautiful azure tiles and bricks in the enchanting regions reserved by the Imperial family for themselves． The Peking station，all dust and rickshas，standing as it does in the wide sandy roadway between the Temple of Heaven and the Hall of Agriculture——every one looking for seats in the train，and watching over luggage，for stealing is contagious，and people，having once begun，do not know how to stop．And then a 1ittle tramp，tramp，and the soft sweet strains of a military band，“Nearer，my God，to Thee!Nearer to Thee!’’and there  under the Stars and Stripes something heavy six soldiers are laying on a luggage van．Yesterday evening my friends heard the outcry for a doctor at the camp．A man had fallen from his horse，they were told，but attached no importance to it at the time．Perhaps he had longed to go home to the States．This morning early his body is going home．There are Japanese and cock-tailed Bersaglieri and the other soldiers of many nations all pressing forward to watch the one who is going home．That is the way he is going home after a11．Poor soldiers!They suffer and they toil，many of them more heroes at heart than we can quite realise，and that is the end of it all in this world!And now again what is this at the Peking station?A clanking of  chains!Men shackled together，and shouting shamelessly to cover their  shame：“Look at the pride of the American army!’’They have been caught red-handed plundering，and are being sent home too，after another fashion． Ah me!Better dead!Better dead!   But the Americans are determined to repress looting．They alone  policed their quarter in Peking．Yet each nation，after its fashion，is trying to keep its men in order And is it nothing that during nine days in Peking  and two in Tientsin，and out of doors from morning to night，I never saw  a man the worse for drink，never met anything but the most respectful and  kind courtesy from the soldiery of eight nations，nor even saw one man illtreating the vanquished CIhinese?
