五千年前，良渚的王選擇在這一片河湖遍布的水鄉(xiāng)澤國，規(guī)劃營建古城，使它成為良渚古國的權(quán)力與信仰中心。

他不會(huì)想到，五千年后，自己王國里的宮殿臺(tái)基、雄偉的城墻、龐大的水利工程，以及象征權(quán)力與信仰的精美玉器，都成了被聯(lián)合國教科文組織世界遺產(chǎn)委員會(huì)認(rèn)定具有“普世價(jià)值”的世界遺產(chǎn)。

從一座城，到一個(gè)國，再到一份世界文化遺產(chǎn)，良渚文明完全可與其他世界古老文明比肩。

A Civilization of 5，000 Years Ago

Five thousand years ago， the king of Liangzhu picked this region of rivers and lakes to build a capital city so that it would serve as the center of power and faith of the state.

He had the slightest idea that， five thousand years later， his palace terraces， his city walls， his mega water conservancy system， and his fine jade artifacts that symbolize power and faith， would become a world cultural heritage site with an outstanding universal value recognized by the UNESCOs World Heritage Committee.

With its city cite， its early state status and its honor of being a world heritage site，

Liangzhu Civilization can proudly stand side by side with other world civilizations of that time.
