评分现代城市的主要特征之一,是强烈地倾向于空间上的发展,而不那么在意自身的时间维度,具有历史感的建筑往往被毫不可惜地夷为平地。然而要理解一个城市,最好的办法大概还是就是去了解它的历史。就像一个人一样,它的风格、表现甚至未来的可能,大抵都能在其过往的经历中找到答...

评分本书研究建立在史谦德和韩书瑞两本北京专著基础之上,她了解北京的文学读物是《北京乎》和老舍小说。本书最核心的理论是将传统的发明改为传统的回收利用:将过去的东西改造成对当下有用的东西,例如把紫禁城和皇家园林改成平民可参观的旅游景点,将旧书和古董送到琉璃厂和隆福...

Old Beijing has become a subject of growing fascination in contemporary China since the 1980s. While physical remnants from the past are being bulldozed every day to make space for glass-walled skyscrapers and towering apartment buildings, nostalgia for the old city is booming. Madeleine Yue Dong offers the first comprehensive history of Republican Beijing, examining how the capital acquired its identity as a consummately "traditional" Chinese city.
For residents of Beijing, the heart of the city lay in the labor-intensive activities of "recycling," a primary mode of material and cultural production and circulation that came to characterize Republican Beijing. An omnipresent process of recycling and re-use unified Beijing's fragmented and stratified markets into one circulation system. These material practices evoked an air of nostalgia that permeated daily life. Paradoxically, the "old Beijing" toward which this nostalgia was directed was not the imperial capital of the past, but the living Republican city. Such nostalgia toward the present, the author argues, was not an empty sentiment, but an essential characteristic of Chinese modernity.
“China was not a site of passive reception of modernity as defined by Western experiences but an active participant in its creation.” Recycling, Modernity of Republican Beijing
