01 / VERIFIABLE HISTORYFACTS BEFORE INTERPRETATION
The parish predates the modern city,
while church and square hold generations to one place.
The parish was created in 1397 and the church built in the early fifteenth century. After the 1755 earthquake, church and square were reorganised; a fountain and bandstand reinforced the public centre in the nineteenth century.
The destroyed church is rebuilt and the common square takes a new form.
A fountain and iron bandstand add new infrastructure to collective life.

02 / THE TRAVELLER'S WAY IN
Do not look only at the church;
watch how people pass around it.
Jing asks whether a centre remains usable, cared for and accessible, not whether a monument stands alone.
A well matters not because it is old, but because it still gives water.

Commentary on the Image
“Water above wood: Jing.”
A common centre calls for work and mutual help.
Why do we read this historic centre
through Jing?
Jing represents a stable public resource. Parish, church, fountain and square create a centre to which people repeatedly return.

As a city expands outwards,
what still tells neighbours that they belong here?

FACT AND INTERPRETATION KEPT SEPARATE
