故宫神武门门楼大木尺度设计初探

A Survey of The Dimensional Design of The Timber Entrance Tower of Shenwu Men in The Forbidden City

本文研究的基础在于2005年以来结合神武门保护工程的实测成果。经过综合归纳数据、统计分析,作者提出神武门门楼大木所用尺长假说,并明确了精确到半尺的柱头平面设计。在此基础上,本文还尝试考察垂直方向上金柱高、屋架举架设计,以及斗栱细部设计等问题。

In this paper is introduced the hypothesis concerning the length of the architect’s measure for the timber entrance tower of Shenwu Men (Gate of Devine Might) on the basis of the field survey data gathered through the protection project for this construction starting from 2005, arriving at a more accuracy of the plane design of the column top right to half a Chi (a unit of length). More test will be carried out this way onto the vertical dimension like the height of the inner column, the purlin rise of the roof truss, and the constructional details of bucket arches (Dǒu Gǒng) as well.
