北魏武、明时期洛阳寺院布局与里坊规划

On the Interaction between Monastery Layout and Urban Planning of Luoyang during the Reigns of Xuanwu and Xiaoming in the Northern Wei Dynasty Governance of the Western Regions

北魏宣武、孝明帝(灵太后)时期,洛阳城内新增了不少寺院,这些寺院的布局以典型的南北向设计为主,佛寺的主体建筑则被置于寺院的中轴线上。这一布局与洛阳城中的里坊规划存在一定的矛盾。寺院常常出现毁坊开墙、阻碍道路的情况,给城市管理带来了压力。隋唐时期都城里坊制度的成熟与完善,与之有着莫大的关系,值得我们留意。

During the reigns of Xuanwu and Xiaoming in the Northern Wei Dynasty,the number of monasteries continued to increase in Luoyang City.Most of these monasteries faced the south,with the main Buddhist architectural elements on the medial axis of the monastery complex.However,this kind of monastic layout was in contradiction with the traditional residential design(li-fang system)in Luoyang.Hence monasteries always broke walls or even blocked streets,which consequently increased the pressure on city management.However,this Li-fang system also stimulated the improvement and maturity of li-fang system later in Sui and Tang Dynasties.
