这一天，我们坐在阴影之中、学习了一下围棋、同时聊了一会儿天。这一“天”，一个关于公共空间的一天、关于象征性行为的价值的一天、以及与孔子对比庄子靠个体（个人）社会的一天。

on this day we sat in shadows, tried to learn how to play Go, and had a talk about public space, the value of symbolic acts and Zhuangzi versus Confucius’ possibilities for a society that relies on the individual.

 

 

这一“天”貌似与任何天的一样，日落时观众开始围绕旗杆等看降旗。穿着白上衣黑裤子的一小队广场卫队进场，队长在按节奏喊“下！”队员便棋子般一个一个被“下”到看客周围的固定位置上。象征性貌似也在呼应我们，所以我们再下了一盘大棋。

the close of this day appears to be like any other day, where an audience crowds around at dusk to watch the daily lowering of the national flag. black and white-clad guards march in, and their commander shouts, “xia!” in a timed rhythm, releasing them one-by-one like playing pieces in stationed positions around the perimeter of tourists. Symbolism acts back upon us, and we play another game of go.
