讲座简介

In 7th-century China, a mature form of Buddhist and Daoist temple architecture emerged, characterized by a corridor-enclosed courtyard and a central oblong image hall. This development came after a half-millennium of cultural assimilation of foreign religious ideas between the Han and Tang dynasties. Several social and religious changes were critical in shaping this process, including dominant worship practices, ritual programs, and lay-monastic relations, as well as the heavy influence of palace architecture beginning in the late 5th century. The Tang-dynasty temple architecture was introduced to neighboring kingdoms, becoming an international style in East Asia. These critical changes continued in the following centuries as ritual activities were increasingly internalized in Liao-Song spatial organization, leading to the restructuring of the classical Tang paradigm. By analyzing seven existing temple sites, this lecture aims to provide students with a broad picture of medieval Chinese architecture to understand how religious ideas can influence the structure and form of architectural space. 

在隋唐之交的中国，佛寺和道观建筑出现了以像殿廊院为主要特征的成熟形式。这一发展是在汉代以后近500年外来宗教的文化适应的结果。几个关键的社会宗教文化现象对这个过程产生至关重要的影响，包括主流礼拜方式、仪式程序和僧俗关系的改变，以及自五世纪末开始的来自宫殿建筑的重大影响。唐代的寺观建筑传入邻国，成为了东亚的国际风格。在接下来的几个世纪中，随着辽宋时期的空间组织中仪式活动的日益内化，唐代经典范式被重构。本讲座通过分析七处现存的寺院建筑，旨在勾勒中古时期中国建筑的轮廓，从而理解宗教思想如何影响建筑空间和形式的构建。
