山西润城之废旧坩埚筑墙研究

A Study on Used-Crucible Wall of Runcheng Town in Shanxi Province

山西润城镇明代时期冶铁业盛极一时.当地以坩埚为基本冶铁工具开展家庭作坊式生产。因高温冶炼而废弃的坩埚彼巧妙地用于城墙砌筑与民居建造,形成具有独特地域性的传统建筑风貌。文章探究坩埚筑墙的时代背景,调研废旧坩埚及其特殊抹灰材料的特性,通过砥洎城城墙、刘善村民居等案例分析,阐述了坩埚墙体的构造特征、力学性能与美学价值。

Iron-smelting industry flourished in Runcheng town of Shanxi province in Ming Dynasty, and developed in the form of family-workshop with crucible as the basic tool. The crucibles which were discarded after high-temperature smelting were skillfully used to construct the fort wall and residential architecture, resulting in a unique form of traditional regional architectural style. This paper studies the background of used-crucible wall, the material properties and the special plaster of used-crucible wall. By investigating used-crucible wall of Diji fort and residential architecture and a crucible arch in Liushan village, the paper analyses the basic construction method of used-crucible wall and explains the construction characteristics, mechanical property and aesthetic value of used-crucible wall.
