談起北京的舊“皇城”,今天除了上了歲數的“老北京”之外,恐怕已經很少有人知道了。到過北京的人都能看見,天安門城樓左右侧有一道紅牆。這道紅牆沿着東西長安街向东延伸到北京飯店的西侧,向西經過新華門延伸到府右街口,然後轉湾向北,經過中南海的西門,一直延伸到北海橋附近。這就是舊“皇城”還留下來的一部份。至於它的東面、北面和西面的迤北的一部份,早在幾十年前北洋軍閥時代已被拆除了,祇有北京的地名中還留下它的遺跡——東西皇城根(俗稱黄城根,黃、皇同音)。
Talking about the old “imperial city” in Beijing, I am afraid that few people know this today except for the old Beijing. People who have been to Beijing can see that there is a red wall on the left and right sides of the Tiananmen watchtower. This red wall extends east and west of Chang An Avenue eastward to the west side of Beijing Hotel, westward through Xinhua Gate to Fuyoujiekou, and then to the north, through the west gate of Zhongnanhai, extending to Beihai Bridge. This is part of the old imperial city that still remains. As for its northern, northern and western parts, the era of the Beiyang warlords had been demolished decades ago, leaving only its remains in the names of Peking - Commonly known as Huang Cheng root, Huang, Wong Hom).
