The Historical Journey 门多萨城的历史旅途

In 1551, Spanish Peru colonists Francisco as a special envoy of the Governor of Chile, starting from top, became the first West to reach this piece of arid steppe. At that time, Mendoza and the entire region was known as the “Cuyo”. The explorers were friendly to the local Indians. He spent almost an entire winter there and returned to Chile. Later, the newly appointed Governor of Chile Mendoza appointed Pedro Castilla to occupy and develop the entire Cuyo area.

On February 20, 1561, Pedro Castilla led the colonel climb over the Andes from Chile to Wei Tata valley and built the city. But this is not the city of Mendoza today.

In 1562, led by Juan Fuller, Mendoza City moved to the site now.

In 1776, the Spaniards occupied the entire Cuyo area and expanded constantly, Spanish colonists established a new center of La Plata District Governor in the center of Buenos Aires. It became Argentina’s Mendoza city today.

During the independence movement in South America, Mendoza played an important role. In 1817, the hero Jose Martin in South American independence crossed the Andes and liberated Chile, taking Mendoza as a base.

In 1861, an unprecedented disaster came to the city of Mendoza. A strong earthquake destroyed most of the buildings here, and directly caused the deaths of about 5,000 people.

In 1863, the city was rebuilt at the site. People realized the power of nature, the design of new city strived to reply to the original appearance and emphasize the concept of earthquake.

In the late 19th century, with the development of irrigation, a large number of Italian immigrants came here, which greatly promoted the economic prosperity.

1551年,西班牙殖民者弗朗西斯科作为智利总督的特使,由秘鲁出发,成为了第一个到达这片干旱草原的西方人。当时,包括今天门多萨在内的整个地区被称作“库约”。这位探险者对当地的印第安人很友善,在这里度过了差不多一整个冬天以后,他返回了智利。后来,智利新总督门多萨委派佩德罗·卡斯蒂利亚上校占领和开发整个库约地区。

1561年2月20日,佩德罗·卡斯蒂利亚上校带领着从智利翻越安第斯山的殖民者们到达了维塔塔谷地,并建立城市。然而这并非今天的门多萨城。

1562年,在胡安·胡富勒的带领下,门多萨城搬迁到了如今的城址。

1776年,随着西班牙人占据了整个库约地区,并不断扩张,西班牙殖民者以布宜诺斯艾利斯为中心建立了新的拉普拉塔河总督区,门多萨所在的库约由智利总督区转交给了这个新总督区,最终使得门多萨成为今天阿根廷的一座城市。

在南美独立运动期间,门多萨扮演了一个重要的角色。1817年,南美独立英雄何塞·马丁建立的安第斯远征军以此为基地,翻越安第斯山,解放了智利和秘鲁。

1861年,一场空前的灾难降临到了繁荣的门多萨城,强烈的地震摧毁了这里大多数的建筑物,并直接造成了约5,000人的死亡。

1863年,城市在原址得以重建,人们意识到了大自然的威力,新城的设计在力争回复震前城市原貌的同时,强调了抗震的理念。

19世纪后半叶,随着灌溉的发展,大批的意大利移民来到了这里,极大地促进了经济的繁荣。

34. Machu Picchu:The City in the Clouds 云中之城——马丘比丘

The meaning of Machu Picchu is “lost Inca city”. It is South America’s most important archaeological center, and Peru’s most popular tourist attraction.

马丘比丘的名字含义是“失落的印加城市”,是南美洲最重要的考古发掘中心,也是秘鲁最受欢迎的旅游景点。

“Lost City” of Inca Empire 印加帝国的“失落之城”

Machu Picchu is Peru’s ancient Inca ruins of the ancient city. About 1450, the rulers of Inca Empire Painca built the city. In 1532, the Spanish colonists invaded Peru and captured Machu Picchu, but eventually abandoned it. In 1911, the U.S. explorer Hiram Bingham discovered the ancient ruins completely concealed under a thick tropical forest.

Since then, the mystery was gradually lifted and the ancient Machu Picchu started to appear to the modern society from its last glorious empire civilization. Although the site ruins, the heyday of the magnificent style of the original can still be seen.

“Machu Picchu” in the Inca language means “Old Mountain”. The ancient city is 2280 m above sea level, with the cliffs about 600 meters high on both sides, under which is the magnificent Urubamba River.

Sun worship is the soul of the Machu Picchu. Inca religion is sun worship. They claimed to be descendants of the sun, and even built their own city in high mountains to get closer to the sun. The ancient city is of narrow streets, neat and orderly. Palaces, temples and workshops are distinctive. Holy, mystical and pious atmosphere made Machu Picchu be ranked in the top 10 list of nostalgia Holy Land.

马丘比丘是秘鲁古印加帝国的古城遗址。大约1450年,印加帝国统治者帕印加建造了该城。1532年,西班牙殖民者入侵秘鲁攻占了马丘比丘,但最终将它遗弃。1911年,美国探险家海勒姆·宾厄姆发现了完全掩盖在一片厚厚热带树林之下的古城遗址。

此后,随着神秘面纱逐步被揭开,古老的马丘比丘开始向现代社会透射出它曾经辉煌的帝国文明。虽然遗址只剩下残垣断壁,但是还可以看出当初兴盛时期的壮观风貌。

“马丘比丘”在印加语中的意思是“古老的山巅”。古城海拔2280米,两侧都有高约600米的悬崖,峭壁下是壮丽的乌鲁班巴河。

太阳崇拜是整个马丘比丘的灵魂。印加人的宗教信仰是太阳崇拜,他们自称是太阳的子孙,甚至把自己的城市修建在高高的山巅上也是为了更接近太阳。古城街道狭窄,整齐有序,宫殿、寺院、作坊等各具特色。圣洁、神秘、虔诚的氛围让马丘比丘被列入全球10大怀古圣地名单。

The Ancient City of Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is known as the “Lost City” of Inca Empire. Early in the 20th century, there was mysterious city in the legendary mountains of the Andes in Peru. For over 300 years of Spanish colonial rulers knew nothing about it. In the 100 years after Peru’s independence, no one was involved. In the 400 years, only the flying Eagle witnessed the majesty of the ancient city.
