Classic for Cui YingYing and Zhang Sheng. Tang Dynasty northern cities often became encircled by tribes. The country had great strength to repel invasion. The government used even foreigners as military generals. This led to the mid-Tang Anlu Shan riot. Japanese culture is a microcosm of Tang dynasty, not the other way around. If I want to see the Tang Dynasty, I go to 京都 Kyoto, to reminisce about Luoyang. In 8th century, Kyoto was built copying Luoyang’s blueprint in the city Fengshui. Gardens of the Heian period (794 – 1185) aristocrats. The city of Heian-kyo (modern-day Kyoto, Kyo = capital, Chinese Jin, to= du, Kyoto is Jindu, capital city) and the Shinden (Chinese words God’s palace) residences at which the gardens were built. The first permanent imperial capital, Fujiwara-kyo (kyo = capital), was built in 694 south of what is now Nara city. It had a formal, symmetrical plan based on Chinese models, as would all the capitals after that up until, and including, Heian-kyo, founded exactly 100 years later. The Chinese writing system came to Japan in the sixth century A.D. During the sixth and seventh century A.D., the incipient Japanese aristocracy began to imitate Chinese and Korean culture in an attempt to “civilize” themselves. The original designers of 京都 Kyoto City, by imposing an ancient Chinese civic scheme upon its streets and borders, conceived of the capital as a kind of noble garden. Unlike cities that grew outward from a military center, Kyoto was deliberately, artistically planned, and the gardens throughout the city display the same mindful concern with design. Most tourists who come to Kyoto, however, are pilgrims. When I look at Kyoto today, it may bring me back to the Tang Dynasty because Kyoto was built during Tang and based on Tang’s Fengshui and architecture and sentiment and art. So this song, is a reflection of Tang dynasty, based on a great romance. 6.《月圆花好》 下载 Download to hear, Click! http://www.hubce.edu.cn/stdgs/8_11.mp3
