方志所见宋代县衙署建筑规制

The Architectural Patterns and Requirements of Song Dynasty County Government Offices as Seen in Local Records

从方志记载看,宋代县衙署建筑群主要包括戒石壁、宣诏亭和颁春亭、厅事、牢狱及仓库等。其中厅事选址非常注重风水,一般选建在县城比较好的位置,而牢狱大多选在不起眼的地方。宋代对县衙署建筑群的坐落、结构、装修等方面的要求没有明确的法律规定,但布局大致相当。在一定程度上,南宋时期的县衙布局可反映北宋县衙的实际情况。

According to recordings in local records,a Song Dynasty county government office architectural complex mainly include jieshibi(stone wall with vigilance inscriptions),xuanzhaoting(imperial proclamations pavilion),banchunting(imperial order promoting agriculture in spring pavilion),tingshi(government office hall),detention center,granaries and storehouses.Among these buildings,the site selection for tingshi put great emphasis on fengshui,and was generally situated in a relatively better place in the county town,whereas the detention center was generally situated in a more inconspicuous place.During the Song Dynasty,there were no clear legal requirements on the county government office architectural complex in terms of situation,structure,and decoration,but the overall layouts were very much the same.To a certain extent,the layout of county government office during the Southern Song Dynasty can reflect the situations of those during the Northern Song Dynasty.
