默茨在故宮引用席勒詩句，德媒這樣評價

馬年伊始，德國總理默茨開啟了他的首次訪華之旅。

在北京故宮，默茨用一種極具詩意的方式完成了他的“打卡”，卻引發德國媒體的關注。

據德國《明鏡周刊》報道，默茨總理在參觀北京故宮時，在留言簿上留下了德國大詩人席勒的詩句。 這首名為《孔夫子的箴言》（

Sprüche des Konfuzius

During his visit to China, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz inscribed a verse by the literary figure Friedrich Schiller in the guestbook at Beijing's Palace Museum.

In his entry, Merz wished Germany and China speed, strength and energy for "a year of cooperation and growth". His wishes come as China has just ushered in the new Year of the Horse, a zodiac sign that is characterized as being energetic and strives for progress.

Merz supplemented the message with a quotation from Schiller's poem

Sprüche des Konfuzius

Sayings of Confucius)

默茨摘錄了其中的經典段落：

時間的步伐有三種
未來姍姍來遲
現在像箭一般飛逝
過去永遠凝立靜止

Time moves in threefold stride:

Hesitantly the future approaches,

swift as an arrow the present flies,

eternally still stands the past.

正值中國農歷馬年伊始，默茨在留言中還特別祝愿德中兩國能擁有如駿馬般的“速度、力量和精神”，共同迎來一個“合作與增長之年”。

盡管詩意盎然，但《明鏡周刊》卻指出，詩中關于“未來姍姍來遲”的描述，與默茨隨后的高新科技之旅顯得有些格格不入。

Although Schiller describes the future as advancing "hesitantly", Merz's packed schedule in China is anything but.

離開北京后，默茨隨即奔赴江南科技重鎮杭州。這里的節奏毫無“遲緩”可言：他參訪了代表未來的機器人企業宇樹科技，以及西門子能源在當地自1995年起設立的生產基地。默茨此行由30位企業高管陪同，其中包括寶馬、梅賽德斯和大眾的負責人。

顯然，在擁有1260萬人口的高新企業聚集之城杭州面前，未來并非“姍姍來遲”，而是以中國速度“撲面而來”。

From Beijing, Merz traveled on to the southern metropolis of Hangzhou. With around 12.6 million residents, the city is a major hub for high-tech companies.

His agenda included a visit to Unitree Robotics, a Chinese maker of humanoid robots. He also toured facilities operated by Siemens Energy, which has maintained a high-voltage switchgear site in Hangzhou since 1995.

Merz is accompanied by a large delegation of 30 business leaders, including the chief executives of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen.
