在这篇文章中，我讨论了南京中山陵（1925-31）的设计，这是民国最重要的纪念碑。通过将其置于孙中山对现代中国的理想、19世纪以来中国建筑的史学、各种历史竞赛提案的关联、中国国民党为孙中山制定的新纪念仪式以及觉醒大众的文化政治的标志性需求的背景下，我认为中国风格的建筑，而不是现成的系统，是一个开放式的话语。在这篇文章中，传统与国际建筑的新兴趣进行了探讨。这一点在陵墓的设计中得到了体现，在陵墓的设计中，现代中国纪念碑的各种理想——风格、功能和象征——被认为是塑造新国家的努力的一部分。在这种情况下，现代建筑必须被理解为定义现代国家的斗争的物质体现。
In this article, I address the design of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing (1925-31), the most important monument of republican China. By putting it in the context of Sun9s ideal for a modern China, the historiography of Chinese architecture since the nineteenth century, various historical associations of competition proposals, the new commemoration rite the Chinese Nationalist Party developed for Sun, and the iconic needs in a cultural politics for awakening masses, I argue that Chinese-style architecture, rather than a readymade system, was an open-ended discourse, in which tradition was examined in relation to the new interest in international architecture. This is epitomized in the design of the mausoleum, in which various ideals for a modern Chinese monument-stylistic, functional, and symbolic-were conceived as part of an effort to fashion the new nation. Modern architecture, in this instance, must be understood as a material embodiment of the struggle to define a modern state.
