Historical Narrative and Value Interpretation of Su Causeway of West Lake in Traditional Chinese Guji Context
Back in ancient China,a prevalent tradition of cherishing historical remains fostered the development of the indigenous heritage discourse centred around the concept o"Guji".This paper endeavours to reconstruct the historical narrative of Su Causeway of the West Lake in Hangzhou within the context of"Guji",utilising chorographies,images,and other historical materials:During the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty,Su Causeway was designated as a"Guji"and over time evolved into the picturesque landscape known as"Su Causeway in the Morning of Spring"by continuous interpretation;And in the Qing Dynasty,the focus of the landscape changed as a result of inscriptions by the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors,as well as the construction of stone tablets and pavilions to protect them by officials.This study reveals ancient Chinese principles that highlight the equal significance of historical information at each stage and the value of heritage in commemorating individuals.This study further elucidates the historical value and social value of character commemoration and social enlightenment,along with the aesthetic value derived from multi-layered aesthetics,through the lens of the concepts of"Guji".
