闽南红砖及红砖厝起源考证

A Study of the Origins of Red-Brick and Red-Brick Dwellings in Minnan(Southern Fujian)

闽南红砖文化的研究中,关于"闽南红砖"及"闽南红砖厝"的讨论一直是众多学者关注的焦点,关于二者之起源,更是众说纷纭。基于文献研究和田野考察,结合考古发掘报告等,通过梳理闽南一地制砖技术的发展、用砖历史等,对"闽南红砖"及"闽南红砖厝"的起源及几个时间节点予以辨析。认为闽南红砖起源于本土且在一定程度上受外来文化影响,并证明"闽南红砖厝"的出现年代早于现有研究中所认为的明末清初,从而展示闽南红砖文化更为真实可信的一面。

In the study of red-brick culture in Minnan（Southern Fujian）, the Minnan redbrick and Minnan red-brick dwellings have been hot issues. Among these, doubts still remain in the origin of red-brick and red-brick dwellings. Based on literature review and field trips, this paper conducts a historical research on brick-making development and brick-using evolution in Minnan diachronically. Evidences indicate that Minnan red-brick originated from local place and was influenced by foreign cultures to a certain degree. This research also demonstrates that the origin of red-brick is earlier than late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, which is widely acknowledged in current scholarship.
