潮玩金碧“日月同辉”，老昆明生活依旧

老昆明

昆明是一座充满传奇的城市。在这座城市里，那些不朽的老建筑给人们的不仅是风景，还是生活的一部分。

Kunming is a legendary city. Those enduring old buildings are not only scenes of Kunming but also a part of life.

在昆明城繁华的中心，金碧路的中段，竖立着两座古色古香的牌坊——金马碧鸡坊。

In the busy downtown of Kunming City, two antique archways --“Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Archways” are standing in the middle section of Jinbi Road.

这两座古朴的牌坊，承载了昆明的历史更迭，见证了岁月沧桑与时代变迁；它们不仅是外地游客必到之地，同时也是昆明民族文化与历史发展的象征。

These two antique archways witness the history of Kunming, the vicissitudes and transitions; they are the must-go places for tourists outside of Yunnan, and moreover, they are also symbols of Kunming ethnic culture and historic development.

60年“金碧交辉”奇观

几经流年芳华依旧

“The Sun and Moon Shine at the Same Time” in

Golden Horse and Jade Roosters

Archways in Every 60 Years

金马碧鸡坊位于昆明市中轴线的三市街与金碧路交叉口，从传说到成为昆明市地标，金马碧鸡坊历经百年变迁，却依旧璀璨流芳。

Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Archways are located at the crossing of Sanshi Street and Jinbi Road, which are central axis of Kunming City. The two archways undergo changes of a century from a legend to a landmark of Kunming City, and they remain impressive as before.

金马碧鸡坊曾因各种原因几经拆毁、重建，现在的牌坊高12米，宽18米，极具昆明民俗特色，牌坊上覆盖着金色的琉璃瓦，雕梁画栋，精美绝伦。

Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Archways were dismantled and restored for several times due to various reasons. Now the archways are 12m high, 18m wide and of great folklore features. The archways are covered with golden glazed tiles and carved beams and painted rafters, making them exquisite.

二坊唯一不同的是，金马坊上端画着两匹金黄的骏马，而碧鸡坊上画的则是凤凰，而它的设计体现了古代云南人对数学、天文学和建筑学方面的造诣。

The only difference between these two archways is that two golden horses are painted on the Golden Horse Archway, while a phoenix is painted on the Jade Rooster Archway. The design embodies ancient Yunnan people’s accomplishments in mathematics, astronomy and architecture

一面是将落未落的夕阳，一面是刚刚升起的满月，日月的光芒将两座牌坊的影子投射在它们之间的空地上，牌坊的影子相互交汇……这日月同辉的奇景就是昆明传说中的“金碧交辉”。

The setting sun is on one side, and the rising full moon is on the other side. The brilliant rays of the sun and the moon project the shadows of these two archways into the space between them, and the shadows of the archways are joined… This is the extraordinary sight that the “Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Archways Have Reflections Joined” in the legend of Kunming.

“金碧交辉”60年才能一遇的奇景，不仅流传于昆明市井，还闻名于全国，厚重的历史文化赋予了金马碧鸡坊别样的人文魅力。
