在北国江城哈尔滨东南二十九公里外,有一座古老而又欣欣向荣的小城——阿城。虽然它远不像北京、西安、南京、开封等古都那样闻名遐迩,为世人所公知,然而它就是七、八百年前曾经统治我国半壁河山达一百二十年之久的金朝上京会宁府所在地,有其辉煌的过去。我有幸参加了在那里召开的一次国际金史研讨会,藉此机会对它进行了短暂的考察。 In the northern city of Harbin twenty-nine kilometers southeast, there is an ancient and thriving small town - Acheng. Although it is far from being famous as the ancient capital cities such as Beijing, Xi’an, Nanjing and Kaifeng, it is well known to the world, yet it is the capital of the Jin Dynasty that was ruled by the government for half a century and seven hundred or eight hundred years ago Ningfu location, has its brilliant past. I had the privilege of participating in a seminar on international history of gold held there to take this opportunity to conduct a brief inspection of it.
