去年七月，应天津大学建筑学院的慷慨邀请，我带香港大学建筑系的九个学生，参加了他们组织的“古城探幽——2010津港建筑院校暑期研习班”，集中参观山西中部平遥、太原两地的古城和古建筑。我因有事要提前赶回香港，不得不把自己的参观压缩为两天，走马观花，留下很多遗憾。但不管怎样，那是我平生第一次去山西，第一次看到那些在书本上多次读到的古城和古建筑，真是大开眼界。我感慨道：“晋中二日游，胜读一年书！”从那时起，我便开始扳着指头盼来年了，但愿还会有第二届、第三届，一直下去。去年去的是晋中，我盼着今年能去晋北——这不，天大的盛情邀请又来了，这次请我们一行30人前往晋北。如果说晋中二日游，胜读一年书，那么晋北三日游，至少会胜读两年书吧！

注：本次活动主要鼓励香港大学建筑系和建筑学院的各学科、项目的学生参加，5月20日报名截止（详见下面通知）。如果报名人数不足28人，我们会进一步向香港大学、甚至香港的所有大学的建筑学生开放。踊跃报名吧！

Tracing the Classics:  Summer 2011, Tianjin University - University of Hong Kong Architectural Field Study

During the 1930s, Chinese scholars Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, along with several colleagues from the Society for the Study of Chinese Architecture, conducted a series of field trips to identify and examine historically significant structures survived in the Chinese countryside. Their discoveries were numerous and astonishing, among which the greatest triumph was the identification of the Foguang Temple, a timber structure dating back to 857 A. D. in the Wutai Mountains, Shanxi Province. Based on these painstaking field studies, in the early 1940s Liang wrote two survey books that for the first time systematically mapped out the evolution of Chinese classical architecture.

With the theme "Tracing the Classics," the Summer 2011 Tianjin University – University of Hong Kong Architectural Field Study will organize students to re-take part of Liang and Lin's journeys: to travel to northern Shanxi to reexamine a group of survived timber structures that were built before the 12th Century and discovered by Liang, Lin and their colleagues in the 1930s. This program will be an invaluable lesson for students to gain firsthand knowledge and insight about Chinese classical architecture.
