刍议苏州古典园林漏窗的功能及艺术魅力

苏州古典园林借用门窗,墙洞等各种元素的变化,实现在有限的空间里塑造出层次多样、空间深远的景观效果。本文主要是探析漏窗在苏州古典园林里独特的营造手法,深入的探索漏窗在苏州古典园林体现的独特的审美思想和文化内涵,以便更好地结合现代的审美思想继承和发扬漏窗文化,从而恰当地将其运用于现代的空间中。     

苏州印象

苏州闲话 我一直以为,地方性的“性”,更多的部分是被方言所决定的。 苏州人在话的前面加一“闲”字,闲话闲话,苏州闲话,这个“闲”字极有底蕴,读一点古文旧诗的都     

苏州赋

三江既入,震泽底定;万物复苏,川流滋润。然则三山岛畔,人类遗址逾万年;草鞋山中,水稻耕作六千轮。蚩尤先民,兵仗威厉无比;良渚文化,玉琮精美绝伦。江南并非荆蛮,华夏有此文明。     

苏州石湖

石湖双桥 说到周庄的双桥,很多人都会想到著名画家陈逸飞的油画《故乡的回忆》,双桥因此名扬海外,成为众人心灵回归故乡的桥梁。而我这里说的双桥却是在苏州吴中,且只是一人在对石湖上的行春桥和越城桥一见钟情时,借来私自给它们命名的。     

品味苏州

品味苏州○曲隽煜百姓说“上有天堂,下有苏杭”,世人曰“苏州园林甲天下”,还没讲苏州景致,却把个苏州描绘得如一锦绣之地。更有历代文人不吝笔墨,极尽夸秀赞胜之能,姑苏遂成富贵风流之所。乾隆以帝王之尊尚且六下江南,我等凡夫俗子岂能不把畅游苏州视为人生之快旅...     

苏州盘门

苏州水陆古盘门,现在依然是出入城西南的水陆交通要道。水城门因过往船只频繁,两岸遭行船撞击,基础多处破坏塌陷,第一道水城门拱券龙门石发生下沉现象。1981年3月政府拨款加固维修,我们对城门现状作了测绘工作,现就其布局特点和建筑结构概略介绍如下。     

苏州藏书楼

中国延绵数千年的藏书文化是中华民族极为珍视的传统。苏州常熟和吴县的藏书楼在中国藏书楼历史上占有重要的地位,尤其是晚清四大藏书楼之一的铁琴铜剑楼,历史悠久,藏书享誉海内外,巍然独存。作为传承历史文化载体的图书,以及图书的承载体藏书楼和藏书文化对于百姓具有很强的感召力和教化功用,只要引导得当、支持有力,具有悠久历史和丰厚文化底蕴的藏书楼必将再次焕发新生。     

闲情苏州

被“SARS”耽误了一年之后,第28届世界遗产大会就要在苏州召开了。这是中国第一次承办“世遗”大会,苏州再度成为人们关注的焦点。联合国教科文组织遗产委员会对苏州古典园林的评价是：”苏州古典园林摘取最具多重价值的国际名牌,     

美食在苏州

<正> 苏州四季分明,季季物产不同,被誉为"鱼米之乡"。苏州传统饮食素来因时制宜,苏州人在饮食上对时令的讲究称得上是极致了,一年四季的饮食,跟着季节的更迭而变化,即使是家常便饭亦讲究春尝头鲜、夏吃清淡、秋品风味、冬讲滋补。春天到了,筝腌鲜便开始上了餐桌,     

神奇遵化

帝王陵寝,佛祖舍利,古泉圣水,长城猎场,奇人隐士——遵化隐藏着太多的神秘等待着我们去探寻。     

记忆中的苏州评弹

苏州评弹在海外被誉为"中国最美的声音",吴侬软语作为人类问候外星人的66种语言中最后一缕声音载入航天器被送上了太空。苏州评弹,是江南一道不可不看的风景。     

迷人之谜

<正> 神农架成为我们关注的目标。到神农架之前尽管做了充分的准备,但还是心怀忐忑,怕野人来袭,怕不可预测的事情发生,一路上精神紧张又亢奋,备受刺激。神农架有那么多谜团,其中神农架的野人之谜最为人乐道。野人至今没有捕捉到,那位胡子头发老长在深山里候了8年也未果的张金星,野人倒成就了他的名声。我想,越是神秘的东西越能激发人们的好奇心,鼓动着探     

“世界尽头”的桃花源:塔斯马尼亚

<正>在澳大利亚本土的东南方向,有一座遗世独立的岛屿,叫塔斯马尼亚岛。这是一个令众多旅友和生态爱好者魂牵梦萦的岛屿,它有一种魅力,让几乎每个到的人都不由感叹:这是一座来了就不想走的岛屿,没有来过塔斯马尼亚,也就不能算真正地来过澳大利亚。
