这是国人第一次在MC中对圆明园进行系统性的还原。建筑过程参考了不少书籍和文字、图片史料，克服了重重的无据可考的困难。经过一年多的规划建造，我们终于将涵盖了圆明园最著名景区的25%部分展现在大家面前。这一系列将会作为长期工程继续做下去，并不断完善。这是圆明园工程的第一期视频，希望大家能喜欢。

The first time for the Chinese Minecraft team to reconstruct The Old Summer Palace (Yuan Ming Yuan)in the game. We have searched many related references and documents, and have overcome the difficult situation when there was no reference to be found. After this one memorable year, we eventually have covered 25% of the most famous scene of the Old Summer Palace. We will keep working on this project and polishing it. This video is the Part 1 of the series, hope you guys will enjoy it!

或许，那只是曾经。

现在，那却不只是曾经。

Perhaps, it has once elapsed

But now, it is more than just a past

“请您用大理石、汉白玉、青铜和瓷器创造一个梦”

“请诗人身世的修建师创造一千零一夜的一千零一个梦”

“用雪松做屋架，披上绸缎，缀满宝石，饰以琉璃、饰以黄金、施以脂粉”

我不是诗人，广袤文字，挑不出合适的字眼去描述。

只是它出现在雨果的梦中，而那，是仙宫。





“ Build a dream with marble, jade, bronze and porcelain, frame it with cedar wood, cover it with precious stones, drape it with silk, make it here a sanctuary, there a harem, elsewhere a citadel, put gods there, and monsters, varnish it, enamel it, gild it, paint it, have architects who are poets build the thousand and one dreams of the thousand and one nights”

---- The sack of the Summer Palace by Victor Hugo

But I am no poet, I am speechless when there are thousands of words to descibe it

It only appears in Hugo

’

s dreams, the Old Summer Palace, the lost paradise

沿着诗人的梦境不停寻觅，荒野杂草，穿梭其中。

疾行向前，从一点点光亮中寻觅着方向。

不再是一望无际的蒿草丛林，繁复的径向，

隐隐可见那仙宫轮廓，被日光光晕笼罩着，渐渐呈现在眼前。

穿梭过时光，到达百年前，一望故园盛貌。





When you try to follow the poet

’

s dreams, wonder in the desolation.

When you run like the wind, and find the path in the shimmering light.

No more endless woods ,no more paths to tread.

For the paradise which is hidden in the mist, is glowing in the sunlight, and revealing itself in your sight.

等光晕散去，仙宫庙宇浮现，威严萦绕不散，

苍天巨木，繁花水溪在鳞次栉比的宫殿间点缀着、贯穿着。

As the halo fades, thus unveil the palaces and temples, the tremendous unknown .

Trees, flowers, rivers, decorate the sa

nctuary

like the stars in the galaxy.

在锦瑟声中俯瞰圣园全貌，于其间穿梭，在水面穿掠而过。

Let the melody be your wings, watch the scenery passes beneath you, around you, and through you.

管弦

声

中，夜色降临，白日的火热退去后迎来一派歌舞升平。

When the day ends, and the night falls, it is the time for songs and dances.

于红灯照应下，与月色争辉。盛国威严在砖瓦间沉淀。

Illuminated by the red lanterns, bathed in the moon

light,the glorious years ha

ve

been written in the cracks of stones.

然而夜色带来的不光是月光，也有着风暴一般摧枯拉朽的摧残。

However, it is not only moon

light that the night could bring, but also one hell of a storm.

当然，你可以读到这里就停下，闭起眼睛，做一场这样的梦。

因为接下来，会有梦魇用重锤将这个甜美的梦寸寸击碎。

You could certainly end your reading here, close your eyes, and keep your sweetest dream.

For if you don

’

t hold your step, the nightmare will shatter you hallucination.

但是，这并非只是梦魇。

Of course, a nightmare could not simply define it.

雾霭降临，火光乍现。急迫的望向四周。仙境一般的景象已不见。

在曾经走过的道路上疾奔向前。看着这场灾难毁灭这周围的一切。

曾经雄壮的大殿失去光辉。红灯昏暗，不似之前明亮夺目。

The smoke ascends, the fire rises. You lost your breath, for the paradise has gone.

Rushing on the road you once knew, witnessing the great holocaus

t

is taking down everything.

The Summer Palace lost its glory, once for all. The red lanterns went out, shimmered like the fire sparks.

不再能见到日光的天空。将一个国家带入了一段迷雾之中，不断沉沦沉沦。

而穿越时光的旅人不断远离着地面俯视着这方土地逐渐淹没在雾霭中。

Under the sky with no sun, a country that once was like an ever-shining star, is falling.

You, the traveller who crosses the time, is flying away, as this wounded land

hiding back into the mist.

雾霭充斥着视野，渐渐消退。

西洋楼残破，残垣断壁逐渐展露轮廓。

The dust fills in the air, and fades in front of you.

And you see the wrecked walls, and the silhouette of the ruins.

一片废墟的景象展现在眼前。

随着视野前行，逐渐看清这片土地上荒芜的样貌。

在夕阳的映照下，逐渐消失在黑夜中

The desolation has shown itself to you.

With the picture moving forwards, you could see more clearly of this wasteland.

Reveals in the sunset, vanishes into the darkness.

熊熊烈火将美梦焚尽，奇珍异兽毁灭殆尽，宝殿仙宫破壁残垣。

帝国的兴衰，民族的荣辱，一夕间，在这片曾为史诗华章的土地上被刻写。

多少人，宁肯抱残守缺，做着往昔的梦，只因这个梦太过甜腻。

甜腻到麻痹痛楚，足以躲避现实。

Dreams burnt out, treasures destroyed, palaces collapsed.

The vicissitude of a dynasty, the defiled honour of a nation, has been carved on earth in just one night.

You can

’

t imagine how many people would rather cling on to the past, for it is warm and harmless.

The dreams of the old days have always been so soft and sweet, it is safe enough to hide the humiliation

等黑夜退去，旅人睁开眼睛，眼前已又是故园残破。

梦中曾经走过的路也已是碎石尘砾，宫殿不复存在。

只剩下巨石其间，破败的殿宇，清澈华美的水中今也一副破败。

那些看过的宫殿，恢弘的斗拱飞檐，现在都已不再。

The night is gone, and you open your eyes, see the

never-changing ruins.

And you realise th

e dreams that were once alive in your mind, is actually a shattered illusion.

What is left to you is the giant wreckage, and the dried ponds.

From the giant frames to the tiniest carvings, they have all gone with the wind.

看着身侧那些残壁。转身时不住的回望它渐渐沉入雾中。

而它也于此长眠于昏暗的夜色之中就此不再被惊扰。

请将目光停在这里。缓解一下隐隐作痛的心。

因为接下来，它将再一次见证这个陨落世界的重生。

You stare at this devastated scenery, as it hiding itself back into reverie.

And wishing it could not be woken up from the dreams of the past.

Rest for a while, my friend, let your weary heart reagin hope.

For the world that was once lost, shall rise again as new.

岁月过分薄情，将太多风华尘封，但是总有人在时光的罅隙间寻找片瓦陈砖。

他们一步步追寻当年工匠们的脚步，在空旷的土地上再造一场梦

Though too much elegance has been taken away by time, there

’

s always someone try to wake this sleeping land.

They follow the steps of their forefathers, and re-create their dreams with humble hands.

“这儿盖神殿，那儿建后宫，放上神像、放上异兽，添上一座座花园，一方方水池，一眼眼喷泉”。

“

A

dd gardens, basins, gushing water and foam, swans, ibis, peacocks, suppose in a word a sort of dazzling cavern of human fantasy with the face of a temple and palace, such was this building. ”

历史诗篇总有断章，但不要停止追寻的脚步。

历史诗篇总会续写，因为有人陪我们去冒险。

这一场盛世风貌，梦中的圆明园。

一场我们编织了两年的梦境。

History could shatter, but you should not stop perusing.

History will always continue, because in this adventure, you are never alone.

The glorious old days, the Old Summer Palace in dreams.

A fantasy we have weaved since two years ago.
