伊斯坦布尔(中)
拿破仑曾经这样说过:“如果世界是一个国家,那么伊斯坦布尔一定是它的首都”。在伊斯坦布尔规模宏大的清真寺随处可见,据说在这1600多万人口的城市里有3000多座清真寺。在我看来信仰是这个城市的主题。在中国缺的就是信仰。
伊斯坦布尔,无论是人文景观还是自然景观,都拥有一种无与伦比的独特的美。它是世上唯一被基督教和伊斯兰教先后选为首都的城市,也是唯一同时坐拥亚洲和欧洲的城市。那种因为宗教、种族、语言和地理环境所造成的独特的城市性格,让我既迷茫而又痴迷。
Istanbul
Napoleon once said, "if the world were a country, Istanbul would be its capital." Istanbul is full of large mosques, said to number more than 3,000 in a city of more than 16 million people. In my opinion, faith is the theme of this city. What is missing in China is faith. Istanbul, whether the cultural landscape or natural landscape, has an unparalleled unique beauty. It is the only city in the world to have been chosen as the capital by Christianity and then by Islam, and the only city in Asia and Europe at the same time. I was confused and obsessed by the unique urban character caused by religion, race, language and geographical environment.
