    平江


    一副堪称珍宝的地图—平江图,至今仍然密藏在苏州的碑刻博物馆,这家博物馆的建筑正是曾经辉煌,书声鼎沸的苏州府学。这幅地图是雕刻在一块巨大的青石上的,我抬头仰望,却还高出半个身体之多。苏州古代称平江府,平江图描绘的是宋代苏州面貌,街道,桥梁,河流,府第,庙宇等等之类,无不一一细致。室内灯光昏暗,我无法全部看清它的图面,正如我无法去体会百千年前苏州市四地的繁华。一方地图的碑石,仿佛印刻了所有古代苏州的时光和历史。苏州城区的地形仍然维持了如平江图般的走向和分布,甚至平江的地名仍旧被用于一个区域的命名。但是按图索骥,却分明是时亦非而物亦非了。东方威尼斯对于宋时的姑苏城来说,是最恰当的比喻,而于今日,却是有几分干涩。GOOGLE有新的俯瞰地图索引服务,我还是没有尝试。我会去寻找苏州的全貌,然后携其再去拜会古老的平江图。
