我喜欢将北京称作为“故都”，这显然带了几分对于北京深秋的眷恋。其实城市的名称只是一个符号而已，但由于历史记忆的沉积，我们总是习惯将许多人文情怀掺杂于这些城市名称中。譬如南京，人们便会联想起厚厚的胭脂气，那是飘散于整个城市上空的味道。但这些联想究竟来源于何 I like to call Beijing “the capital city,” which obviously brings a bit of love for Beijing’s late autumn. In fact, the name of the city is only a symbol. However, due to the deposition of historical memories, we are always used to blending many cultural feelings into these city names. In Nanjing, for example, people will think of thick rouge, which is a smell floating over the entire city. But what did these associations come from?
