阆中古城作为中国风水典范,其形象变迁过程大致经历了四个阶段:先秦至汉晋时期,嬛得山水之利,从山谷之城发展为巴蜀重镇;汉晋至唐宋时期,得山水之美,从琅福地发展为阆苑仙境;唐宋至明清时期,得山水之胜,从堪舆胜地发展为风水典范;新中国成立到现当代,得山水之肥,从丝绸之都发展为风水之都;展望未来,得山水之韵,“山谷之城、风水之都”应为阆中古城新的形象定位。
As a model of Chinese Fengshui system, the city image of Langzhong old town didn’t form by natural. Being a regional and important mountain town, it has been deliberately molded by human and formed in acquisition. The city image of Langzhong has undergone four important stages by knowing the changes in its history. From the Pre-Qin to the Han-Jin period, the Langzhong ancient city profited from the beauty of landscape and becomes a wonderland for local people. After that, from Tang-Song to Ming-Qing period, it grew up to be a model of Fengshui system because of the property there. Until now, it has witnessed the new born of landscape and finally becomes a city of Fengshui system from a city of silk. Therefore, the new city image of Langzhong should be located in the“town of valley, the city of Fengshui system”in the future development.
