【双语】你好！中国 | 风雨千载，木塔玲珑

应县木塔是位于山西省朔州市应县的一座古老木塔，原名佛宫寺释迦塔，建于辽代清宁二年（1056年），已有近千年历史，是世界上现存最古老、最高大的木结构塔式建筑，与意大利比萨斜塔、巴黎埃菲尔铁塔并称“世界三大奇塔”。

The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is an ancient wooden pagoda in Yingxian County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province. Originally called the Sakyamuni Pagoda of Fogong Temple, it was built in the second year of the Qingning era of the Liao Dynasty (1056 AD) and has a history of nearly 1,000 years. It is the oldest and tallest surviving wooden pagoda in the world. Along with Italy’s Leaning Tower of Pisa and France’s Eiffel Tower, it is known as one of the "Three Great Towers of the World."

应县木塔以其独特的建筑风格、精湛的建筑技艺和深厚的历史文化底蕴，成为了中国古代建筑的杰出代表。全木结构是应县木塔最为显著的特点之一。

The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is an outstanding example of ancient Chinese architecture, renowned for its unique architectural style, exquisite craftsmanship, and profound historical significance. One of its most remarkable features is its all-wooden structure.

木材的使用不仅体现了中国古代建筑以木为主的传统，还充分发挥了木材的韧性和弹性，使木塔具有良好的抗震性能。这种全木结构的设计，使得木塔在历经多次地震和战乱后仍能屹立不倒，成为了中国古代建筑技艺的典范。

The use of wood not only reflects the traditional preference for timber in ancient Chinese architecture but also fully utilizes the material's flexibility and resilience, giving the pagoda excellent earthquake-resistant properties. This all-wooden structural design has enabled the pagoda to withstand numerous earthquakes and wars throughout centuries, making it a true masterpiece of ancient Chinese architectural engineering.
