从确定恢复修建到修成三段城墙，前后不过一年有余。但是从“要不要修、能不能修”到“怎么修、修成什么样子”的探讨，却持续了数十年。

Determine the recovery from the build up to three sections of the wall，But before and after more than one year。But from“Want to fix、Can fix”to“How to repair、What finished”discussion，But lasted for decades。

　　一种“老苏州”的城墙情愫 a“Old suzhou”Walls feelings

　　城墙，是很多“老苏州”心中挥之不去的记忆。去年9月听说三段城墙要修复的消息后，家住东环的杨老伯就会时不时骑上电瓶车，去现场转上一圈。当记者在阊门段城墙修复现场遇见他时，80多岁的杨老伯刚刚从平门段工地赶过来。“我们小时候都在城墙上玩过，那时的城墙啊，可以绕苏州城一圈。”杨老伯告诉记者，“老苏州”对城墙是很有感情的，他曾亲眼目睹古城墙被一块块拆除，如今看到城墙被修复，感到非常高兴。从去年9月份开工以来，杨老伯隔三岔五就要到三段城墙的工地上去看看，从挖土到搭脚手架再到砌砖，看着城墙一点点修起来。“跟记忆中的城墙有点不一样，但是现在修复的城墙很美，很壮观。”

wall，Is a lot of“Old suzhou”The memory of the heart。Last September heard three sections of the wall to repair after the news，The old man Yang in east ring will occasionally on battery car，To field to the ring。When the reporter in Chang door wall repair field to meet him，More than 80 years old man Yang just from flat gate segment site cast over。“When we are on the wall played，O wall of the daughter of at that time，Can a loan-back period around suzhou circle。”Old man Yang told reporters，“Old suzhou”On the wall is very emotional，He had witnessed ancient city wall was picked demolition，Now see the wall be repaired，Very happy。From last September since the start，Old man Yang regularly is going to three sections of the walls up to see the site，From cutting to the scaffolding to brick，Look at the wall a little to fix it。“With the memory of the wall a little different，But now the walls of repair is very beautiful，Very spectacular。”

　　一段古城墙的凄惨命运 A period of ancient city wall of the sad fate

　　绵延15公里的苏州古城墙见证了苏州曾经的辉煌。“现代大规模的毁损主要发生在上世纪五十年代。”著名文史学者徐刚毅告诉记者，上世纪五十年代，在全国性的“毁城”浪潮中，苏州的城墙也同样没有逃脱劫难。当时，城墙、城门被作为“旧时代的象征”和“新时代的障碍”而横遭拆毁。城墙砖运去建小高炉，城墙土挖去做砖坯，城墙遗址上建起了工厂，造起了民房，开挖了防空洞，修成了道路。经过一番“轰轰烈烈”的“拆除城墙”运动，到上世纪八十年代末，苏州城墙几成废墟。“上世纪八十年代末，原本总长15公里的古城墙，仅剩下盘门、金门等地不到1.5公里，约10%左右，另有20%到30%只剩下残垣断壁，而60%至70%的城墙被毁掉了。”事实上，仅存的这些残垣断壁，也因缺乏维护管理，不断遭受蚕食，危在旦夕。

For 15 kilometers of suzhou ancient city wall witness the suzhou once the brilliant。“Modern large-scale damage mainly in the 1950 s。”Famous literature and history scholars ajoy k ghatak told reporters，In the 1950 s，In the national“Destroyed city”wave，The wall of suzhou also has not escaped the apocalypse。At that time，wall、Gates as“Symbol of old”and“New age barrier”And HengZao broken down。The wall brick luck to build small blast furnace，The wall soil digging to do brick，The wall was built on the site of factory，Made up the domestic，Excavation the air-raid shelter，Up the way。After a“Magnificent and victorious”of“Dismantle the wall”movement，By the 1980 s，Suzhou the wall a few in ruins。“At the end of the 1980 s，Originally 15 km with the ancient city wall，Left PanMen、The golden gate, less than 1.5 km，About 10% or so，Another 20% to 30% only ruins，And 60% to 70% of the wall is destroyed。”In fact，Remaining these ruins，Also due to lack of maintenance and management，Constantly suffer encroach on，At stake。

　一场对古城保护的反思 A reflection of old city protection

　　1982年，苏州入选第一批国家历史文化名城。如何更好地保存历史文物和历史遗存？苏州的专家学者们重新开始了对古城保护的反思。2004年，在苏州举行的第28届世界遗产大会上，苏州提出了把苏州古城申报为世界文化遗产的申请。人们越来越认识到苏州的古城墙不仅是宝贵的历史文化资源，更是弥足珍贵的风景旅游资源。“其实，关于苏州城墙的保护和恢复修建，早在上世纪八十年代，苏州市相关部门就已提出。”对苏州古城墙有非常完整和详细研究的苏州职业大学教授吴恩培告诉记者，1987年4月，苏州市城乡建设委员会就曾向市政府报审“苏州市古城墙保护规划”，提出“古城墙是历史文化名城的重要标志，也是体现古城风貌的一个重要内容，保护古城墙遗址不再受到破坏和有条件恢复古城墙是必要的……要对古城墙遗址进行严格控制和保护好现状，逐步分期恢复。”

In 1982,，Suzhou in the first national historical and cultural city。How to better preservation of historical relics and historical heritage？Suzhou specialists and scholars start to the old city protection of reflection。In 2004,，In suzhou at the 28th world heritage committee，Suzhou puts forward the ancient city of suzhou for the world cultural heritage application。People realize more and more that suzhou's ancient city wall is not only the precious historical culture resources，But also precious scenery tourism resources。“In fact，About suzhou wall protection and restoration of building，In the early 1980 s，Suzhou city related department has been put forward。”To suzhou old city walls have very complete and detailed study of suzhou vocational university professor WuEnPei told reporters，In April 1987，Suzhou urban construction committee was BaoShen to the municipal government“Suzhou ancient city wall protection planning”，Put forward“Ancient city wall is an important symbol of historical and cultural city，Is also a way to show city style is an important content，Protect ruins of ancient city wall is no longer damage and conditional restore ancient city wall is necessary……To the ruins of ancient city wall of strict control and protect the good situation，Gradually installment recovery。”

　　一批政协委员的努力 A group of members of CPPCC efforts

　　从上世纪八十年代到九十年代，苏州的一批专家、学者开始为城墙的保护修缮而奔走努力，呼吁采用地方立法的形式来明确苏州城墙及其遗址的保护问题。

Ranging from the 1980 s to the ninety s，Suzhou, a group of experts、Scholars of the walls began to repair protect the effort，Calls for using the form of local legislation to clear suzhou walls and the protection of site。

　　2009年初，市政协十二届二次会议上，市政协城乡委递交《关于苏州古城墙保护应尽快予以立法的建议》；2011年1月市政协十二届四次会议上，高福民委员递交了《苏州古城墙的保护及逐步重点恢复》的提案。

At the beginning of 2009，The CPPCC twelve second plenary session of the conference，The CPPCC committee submitted in urban and rural areas《About suzhou ancient city wall protection should be legislation suggestion as soon as possible》；In January 2011 the fourth session of the CPPCC twelve on，GaoFuMin committee submitted《Suzhou ancient city wall protection and gradually redevelopment》proposal。

　　政协委员的呼吁得到了省委常委、市委书记蒋宏坤的重视。蒋宏坤作出批示，要求市政协围绕古城墙和古建筑保护及修复进行专题调研，提出建议方案。市政协随即成立了专题调研组，从去年2月份起，多次召开座谈会，进行现场踏勘。反复推敲，几易其稿，形成了《关于古城墙保护修复试点工程的建议》。这份调查报告分析了古城墙修复利用的功能作用，修复后能够达

Members of CPPCC appeal to get the provincial party committee standing committee、Secretary of municipal committee of the CPC JiangHongKun attention。JiangHongKun make instructions，The CPPCC requirements around the ancient walls and buildings protection and repair carry out special investigation，Recommend and advise on ways。The CPPCC then set up special research group，From the last February，Have held symposium，On site exploration。Repeated deliberation，A few easy its stalk of grain，formed《About ancient city wall protection and restoration of pilot project proposal》。The paper analyses the function of the ancient city wall repair using effect，After the repair can reach

　　到的社会综合效益，并对古城墙修复试点工程的选址提出了建议。

To social comprehensive benefit，And the ancient city wall repair pilot project's location and puts forward some Suggestions。

　　一个争论已久的话题 An argument already a long time of topic

　　也就在城墙修复工作逐步推进的过程中，一个争论已久的话题再次出现古城墙到底要不要修？

In the wall repair work gradually in the process of promoting，A debate topic already a long time of ancient city wall appear again whether or not to fix？

　　其实，有关古城墙要不要修的争论多少年来始终存在。吴恩培告诉记者，质疑主要围绕几个问题：一是古代筑城墙为防御，今天筑城墙为什么？二是钱花在这方面值不值得？三是五十年前拆、五十年后造，这算不算瞎折腾？四是一些城墙遗址涉及到城市的交通，如果处理不好，可能会带来更多反对。“在苏州城2500多年的历史中，城墙原本就是屡建屡毁，屡毁屡建。作为砖石土木结构的城墙，在历史长河中也会自然风化，这就需要一代又一代人通过不断的修复让它传承下来。”徐刚毅说，“城墙遭大规模拆毁是在上世纪五十年代，在我们手里毁损，也有责任在我们手里修复。”

In fact，The ancient city wall to don't fix of debate for many years always exist。WuEnPei told reporters，The main question around a few questions：One is the ancient to the wall for defense，Today the wall why？The second is to spend money in this respect is worth？The third is down fifty years ago、Fifty years later made，That's not blind flounder？The fourth is some walls site involves the traffic of a city，If we cannot deal with，May bring more against。“In suzhou city, 2500 years of history，The wall was built repeatedly repeatedly destroyed，Repeatedly destroyed repeatedly constructs the。As masonry civil structure of the walls，In the historical long river will also natural weathering，This needs generation after generation through constant repair let it passed down。”Ajoy k ghatak said，“The wall is broken down by large scale in the 1950 s，In our hand damage，Have a responsibility in our hand repair。”

　　更重要的是，如今修复古城墙，目的已然不同。古人是造防御工事，我们是重建文化。“并不是简单地为修而修，而是把古城墙这个其他许多城市都不具备的资源，作为一个文化符号、作为一种旅游资源、作为环境整治的一部分，通过保护修缮，达到传承历史、发展旅游、保护生态、整治环境等综合效果。”市政协原城乡委主任祖苏告诉记者。

More important is，Now repair the ancient city wall，Purpose has different。The ancients is build fortifications，We are rebuilding culture。“And not simply for repairing and repair，But the ancient city wall the many other cities don't have the resources，As a cultural symbol、As a kind of tourism resources、As part of the environmental renovation，Through the protection repair，Achieve the traditional history、Development of tourism、Protect the ecological、Improvement environment comprehensive effect。”The CPPCC committee director of the original urban and rural fathers Sue told reporters。

　　一支不容忽视的力量 The power of a not allow to ignore

　　推动古城墙保护，有一支力量不得不提，他们为城墙的修复提供了最精确的数据。

Promote the protection of ancient city wall，Have a power have to mention，They for the wall repair provides the most accurate data。

　　2008年底，经市科技局、市文物局批准，苏州职业大学教授吴恩培率领课题组，在一年多时间里，对苏州古城墙及其遗址进行了全面实地调研，测量出了大量翔实的数据。

By the end of 2008，By the municipal science and technology bureau、Municipal cultural relics bureau approval，Suzhou vocational university professor WuEnPei led the research，In more than a year of time，To suzhou ancient city wall ruins and carries on the comprehensive investigation，Measure the a large number of full and accurate data。

　　2010年4月，该课题组精确到厘米的古城墙实测数据正式对外发布。这是一组令人震惊而又心痛的数据：苏州城墙总长度15204.31米，目前较完整的砖石古城墙仅有1249.98米，占城墙总长度的8.22%；城墙残体（指上世纪五十年代拆城时遗留下的城墙遗址、城墙基础遗存）仅存618.19米，占4.07%；受侵扰较严重的城墙遗址161.04米，占1.06%。

In April 2010，This research accurate to centimeters of ancient city wall measured data officially released。This is a group of shocking and heartache data：Suzhou wall total length 15204.31 meters，There is a complete masonry ancient city wall only 1249.98 meters，Accounted for 8.22% of the total length of the wall；Wall residues（Refers to the 1950 s and the wall of the city over the site、Remains the foundation）Only to save 618.19 meters，Accounted for 4.07%；Awesome more serious walls 161.04 meters site，Accounted for 1.06%。

　　数据同时显示，苏州现有城墙、有墙基的城墙残体，加上位置清晰的城墙遗址共有8647.86米，占城墙总长度的56.88%。其余部分已为桥梁、道路以及各类建筑所用。

Data also shows that，Suzhou existing wall、Have the walls of gives the residues，Add position clear wall ruins a total of 8647.86 meters，Accounted for 56.88% of the total length of the wall。The rest of the already for the bridge、Road and all kinds of building use。

　　吴恩培说，当这组数据出来，课题组成员还是比较欣慰的。“现有城墙遗址中，真正被建筑所占而无法恢复的"硬骨头"为4639.26米，约占总长度的30.51%。相比于周边城市，苏州可以说是惟一具备城墙恢复条件的城市。”

WuEnPei said，When this group of data out，Task group member or compare gratified。“Existing in the site，Real of building and no recovery"Hard bone"Is 4639.26 meters，Accounts for about 30.51% of the total length。Compared to the surrounding city，Suzhou can say is the only have walls recovery conditions of the city。”

　　一项先搭模型的创举 A first lap model in the world

　　确定了修复的意义以及条件后，另一个问题随之显现：城墙到底该怎么修？

To determine the significance of the repair and after conditions，Another problem then revealed：The wall exactly how to fix？

　　先按1:1的比例造一个城楼的模型，请专家现场论证并提出修改意见，然后再根据模型建造城楼，这是苏州古城墙修复的一项创举。此举也得到了阮仪三等著名专家的赞赏。“我特别赞赏苏州人认真做事的工作作风，这个1：1的城门楼模型就是实际工作认真的表现，搭个样子供大家揣摩、修正、改进……显示出工程设计和策划的格外谨慎和周到，是严格的科学态度。”阮仪三在写给本报的信中这样说（见2011年12月23日A13版）。

According to the proportion of 1:1 to build a model of the towers，Please experts site demonstrates and amendment opinions，And then according to the model built towers，This is suzhou ancient city wall repair a creation。This text also got the famous experts praise。“I especially appreciate a from suzhou work seriously work style，The 1：1 gates building model is practical work earnestly performance，Take a look for everybody conjecture、fixed、improvement……Show engineering design and planning of the especially careful and thoughtful，Is strict scientific attitude。”Ruan yisan from wrote in the letter say so（See on December 23, 2011 A13 edition）。

　　值得注意的是，城墙的修建与过去的做法也完全不同，主要采用钢筋混凝土建造骨架，再在外面贴上城墙石和城墙砖的做法，使得修复后的城墙更为坚固。

It is important to note that，The construction of the wall and the past practice is completely different，Mainly USES the reinforced concrete building skeleton，Then on the outside wall with stone and the wall brick practice，Make the repaired the wall more strong。

　　一篇仅仅开了个头的文章 A just opened a article

　　如今，三段城墙正在一点一点展露雄姿。在徐刚毅看来，城墙的修复，目前所有的工作仅仅是开了头。“城墙的保护不是一代人的事情，需要一代又一代的人为之努力。以后非常有可能还会在另外的遗址上重新再进行修复。苏州古城风貌不仅仅停留在文字上，或者停留在历史文献记载中。我们要做的是让每一个到苏州来的人，通过实地接触就能领略到古城的历史底蕴。而这正是我们这一代人孜孜以求的。”徐刚毅说。

now，Three sections of the wall is bit by bit show high precision。In ajoy k ghatak seems，Wall repair，Now all the work is only opened the head。“The wall protection is not a generation of things，Need a generations of another generation of human efforts。Later very possible will also in other sites to repair again。Suzhou's old city style not only stay in words，Or stay in the record of historical literature in。We have to do is to let every one to suzhou to people，Through the field contact can enjoy the ancient city of historic background。And this is what our generation of striving for。”Ajoy k ghatak said。
