素可泰的斋滴

Sukhothai Chedi

素可泰是泰文化的发祥地,是泰国艺术的摇篮,泰国今日宗教建筑的形制和手法都能从素可泰的宗教建筑中找到源头,而斋滴是泰国宗教建筑的重要类型,因此探讨素可泰的斋滴对研究泰国宗教建筑的发展具有重要意义。该文在简单概述素可泰斋滴基本特征的基础上,对素可泰斋滴的两种形式——锡兰式斋滴、莲苞式斋滴进行深入探析,理清它们的阶段性特点,挖掘形制变迁后的社会、宗教动因,指出素可泰的斋滴与锡兰建筑、高棉建筑等外来建筑艺术间的关系以及与缅甸佛塔的区别。

Sukhothai is the birthplace of Thai culture and cradle of Thai art. Most of today＇s Thai ecclesiastical architectural forms and methods can be traced back to the ecclesiastical architecture of Sukhatal. Since Chedi is an important typology in the Thai ecclesiastical architecture, the study of Sukholthai Chedis is significant to the understanding of the Thai ecclesiastical architectural development. Based on the foundation of briefly describing the basic features of Sukholthai Chedis, this essay further examines the Ceylon-shaped and the Louts-bud shaped Chedis of Sukholthai, by clarifying the features of their phases, discovering the social ecclesiastical causes of their evolutions, and depicting the associations of Sukholthai Chedis with those imported architectures like that of Ceylon and Khmer, and their distinctions from the Burmese pagoda.
