传统的、慢节奏的、悠闲的老街栖居，是我们想象中的理想生活形式。相较于图像记录下的烟火瞬间、取景器中自成一体的独立世界，松阳老街的“烟火气”从更广阔也更平庸的日常生活中生发并存在。 

The traditional, slow-paced, and leisurely lifestyle of these Old Streets represents an idealized vision of life for many. Compared to fleeting moments captured in images or the self-contained worlds within viewfinders, the "spirit of everyday life" in Songyang's Old Streets arises from and exists within the broader and more ordinary context of daily life. 

松阳地处浙西南山区，浙闽文化交界处，呈现了丰富的文化交融。从前的交通不便和经济落后给予了它与时间对话的机会，将完整的古村镇格局和丰富的非物质文化遗产保存至今，成为“古典中国的县域样本”和“最后的江南秘境”。松阳老街处于松阳县城的核心，于2022年入选中国非遗旅游街区。众多民间手工艺人和文化传承者们活跃其中。他们在老街经营的身影、手艺与材料的娴熟互动，构建了松阳老街的“烟火气”，吸引了众多游客。 

Located in the mountainous area of southwestern Zhejiang, at the cultural intersection of Zhejiang and Fujian, Songyang showcases a rich blend of cultures. Its past limitations in accessibility and economic development have afforded it the opportunity to engage in a dialogue with time, preserving the complete layout of ancient villages and towns, along with a wealth of intangible cultural heritage. Today, it stands as a "Classical Chinese County Prototype" and "the Last Secret Realm of Southern Yangtze." At the core of Songyang County, the Old Streets were recognized in 2022 as one of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage tourist districts. Numerous artisans and cultural inheritors actively contribute to the area's vibrancy. Their presence, skills, and interactions with materials in the Old Streets create a lively, communal atmosphere, drawing many visitors. 

叮叮当当的敲击声，噌噌的打磨声，灶台四季不断的炊火，飘在老街的食物香气……松阳的历史文化传承者们构成了老街独特的风景线。 

The clang and clatter of hammering, the whirring of grinding, the ceaseless flames of stoves year-round, and the alluring aroma of food wafting through the old streets... These elements compose the unique landscape of Songyang's Old Streets, shaped by the bearers of its historical and cultural legacy. 

在这个线上版本中，网站将从各个角度重现并拓展线下展览，将展示出整个创作和展览过程的记录影像，7条共时短片，7位文化传承人的人物介绍。在这里，请“听”的是老街器具的声音，也是本地文化传承者身体力行对地方文化的延续；是多元参与者对老街遗产旅游开发和文化传承的观点碰撞，也是建筑师对同类历史街巷空间更新方向的探索。  

In its online iteration, the website for "Being Heard" reconstructs and expands upon the physical exhibition. It will feature a comprehensive array of content, including recordings of the entire creative and exhibition process, the seven simultaneous short films, and detailed profiles of the seven cultural inheritors featured in the project. Here, the focus of "Being Heard" is not only on the sounds of the Old Street's tools but also on the local cultural inheritors' physical embodiment of the continuation of their traditions. It represents a confluence of diverse perspectives on the development of heritage tourism and cultural inheritance in the Old Streets. Moreover, it serves as a platform for architects to explore and discuss the renewal and rejuvenation of similar historic street spaces, fostering a dialogue that bridges traditional heritage with modern architectural and cultural insights. 

衍述设计和遗产研究学者被松阳老街的“烟火气”所吸引，在2023年8月共同发起了多维度的视听展览《请“听”》。他们邀请两了松阳老街上的7位文化传承人，通过PV的方式共同创作了7条短片，展现个体生活实践与地方气韵及文化之间的紧密联系，提供解读地方文化的创新的、批判性的视角。这是建筑师、城乡规划师、遗产研究学者和本地文化传承人共同合作的一次实验性的在地实践。 

In August 2023, captivated by the vibrant "spirit of everyday life" in Songyang's Old Streets, Studio RE+N and heritage scholars initiated "Being Heard," a multi-dimensional audio-visual exhibition. This exhibition was unique in its approach: it involved no professional directors or scriptwriters. Instead, seven cultural inheritors from the Old Streets of Songyang were invited to co-create seven short films through Participatory Video Making (PVM). These films showcased the intimate relationship between individual life practices and the local ambiance and culture, offering innovative and critical perspectives on interpreting the essence of the locale. "Being Heard" represents an experimental, collaborative endeavour on the ground, uniting architects, urban and rural planners, heritage scholars, and local cultural inheritors. Together, they embarked on a journey to authentically capture and convey the rich cultural narrative of Songyang, blending traditional wisdom with contemporary insights. 

主展厅再现了线下展览的沉浸式影像厅，并置的7条短片由本地摄影师掌镜，将镜头对准传承者们的日常生活，并邀请他们定义或设计这一领域。在参与式影像制作（participatory video making）方法的指导下，“日常生活”成为多元观点交流后的结果，作为短片传达的主题展示出来，并开放给所有参与者定义和展现。 

 如果“我们”自定义为一群追逐着当代都市时钟前行的现代人，传承者们似乎成为按照另一套时间系统生活的“他们”，代表了一种前现代的、慢时光的、具有永恒美感的生活形式。然而，“我们”与“他们”是如此不同的群体吗？影片中展现的日常生活也许可以提供答案。 

 在观看并置影片的同时，通过点击视频下方的按钮，您将深入到每位文化传承者的日常生活世界中。

The main exhibition hall of "Being Heard" replicates the immersive video hall of the offline exhibition, featuring seven juxtaposed short films shot by local photographers. These films focus on the everyday lives of the cultural inheritors, inviting them to "direct" their own film. Guided by the method of Participatory Video Making, "everyday life" emerges as the outcome of a multitude of viewpoints. This theme is not only conveyed through the films but also open for all participants to define. 

 The films prompt a reflection: if "we" are defined as modern individuals chasing the relentless urban clock, then the inheritors appear as "them," living according to a different time system, representing a pre-modern, slower-paced life with an eternal aesthetic. But are "we" and "they" truly such distinct groups? The everyday life depicted in the films may offer an answer to this question. 

 As viewers engage with these juxtaposed films, they can delve deeper into the world of each cultural inheritor by clicking the ‘+’ buttons below the videos. This interactive element offers a more intimate and comprehensive understanding of the lives and perspectives of those who keep the cultural heartbeat of the Old Streets alive.
