BABR雕塑是俄罗斯伊尔库茨克市130街区(130 Kvartal)入口处的标志性艺术作品,其形象源于当地历史纹章中的神话生物。巴布尔雕塑的确位于俄罗斯的伊尔库茨克市。它是这座城市最知名的象征之一,也是吸引游客的热门景点。
“巴布尔”这种奇特的生物起源于17世纪的一个误解。当时,伊尔库茨克被授予了自己的盾徽。盾徽原本打算描绘一只老虎,当地人称之为“巴布尔”(бабр)。然而,当这个描述传到圣彼得堡的官员那里时,他们错误地认为“巴布尔”是俄语中表示“海狸”(бобр)的拼写错误。
由于这个阴差阳错的误会,盾徽以及后来的巴布尔雕塑描绘了一个独特的、神话般的生物:它拥有老虎的身体,但却长着海狸的尾巴,有时还有蹼足。它通常嘴里叼着一只紫貂,这代表了该地区历史上毛皮贸易的重要性。
The Babr sculpture is a symbol of Irkutsk's history and a testament to a curious linguistic error that has become an enduring part of the city's identity. You can find a prominent Babr sculpture in the 130th Quarter, a historical district in the center of Irkutsk.
Since the 17th century, Irkutsk’s coat of arms has featured a mythical beast inspired by BABR, depicted as a fierce creature holding a sable (symbolizing Siberia’s wealth) in its jaws.
Original Meaning of "BABR": In Old Russian, the term referred to a "Siberian tiger." However, due to changes in Russian spelling rules in the 19th century, it was misinterpreted as "beaver" (Russian: бобр). This led to the creature’s image evolving into a hybrid of tiger and beaver features.
130街区(又称“伊尔库茨克露天博物馆”或“木屋文化区”)是伊尔库茨克市中心一处以修复的19世纪木制建筑群为核心的开放式文化街区。这里不仅是历史保护项目,更是融合了艺术、美食和手工艺的活力空间,被称为“西伯利亚的童话小镇”。
The 130 Kvartal is a lively district known for its traditional wooden houses that have been repurposed into a stylish shopping area, with bars and restaurants. Модный Квартал is a fashionable shopping mall.
