论文通过对南京古代地图分析,发见古人在规划、设计、建造城市时的意图、独特匠心和创造智慧,提出此为历史城市保护中需要延续的,而不仅仅是保护物质本体自身。论文也尝试探讨在南京城墙保护中如何通过保护范围和建控地带的画线,来传承城市意图。进而论文阐述中国古代地图展示的有别于西方的城市意图和保护路径。 Through the analysis of the ancient map of Nanjing, the author discovers the ancients' intention, unique ingenuity and wisdom in planning, designing and constructing the city. It proposes that this should be continued in the protection of historical cities, not just the material subject itself. The paper also attempts to explore how to pass on urban intentions through the protection of the walls and the drawing of the construction and control zones in Nanjing's urban wall protection. Then the essay elaborates the urban intension and the protection route which are different from the western ones in ancient Chinese maps.
