2021年7月25日,在中国福州举行的第44届世界遗产大会传来喜讯——
“泉州:宋元中国的世界海洋商贸中心”获准列入《世界遗产名录》。泉州
是古代海上丝绸之路的起点,也是古代中国最重要的港口之一,聚集着世界
文化。当宋代诗人李邴站在泉州港边,看到海上浩浩荡荡的各国商船满载货
物进出港,不禁提笔写下“涨海声中万国商”——他的这首《咏宋代泉州海
外交通贸易》由是流传至今,让今人得以想象斯时盛况。作为中国最新的第
56项世界遗产,“泉州:宋元中国的世界海洋商贸中心”将不仅向中国人,
更要向全世界讲述这一宋元时期“东方第一大港”的故事。今天,我们就跟
着China Daily的报道,一起来走进这个“宝藏”古城。
课前讨论
① “emporium”是什么意思?
② “遗产”“遗迹”“遗址”英文可以怎么表达?
