徽州古塔的人文价值研究

Humanistic Value of Huizhou Ancient Pagodas

受中国传统文化影响,古塔被赋予了具有中国特色的人文精神内涵。处于皖南山区的古徽州区域内,古塔数量众多,其中较多体现了古徽州地区"天人合一"的人文观、求人丁子嗣兴旺的宗族观,以及受中国传统人文地理中的风水学说影响,障空补缺,以人工构筑补地理之不足的古代风水观。此外,建"高""显"的塔来求人杰地灵的做法也迎合了古徽州地区以文致仕的心理需求。徽州古塔所具有的价值不仅仅是建筑艺术成就,更重要的是其体现出的古代中国的人文精神价值。古塔的保存、矗立也是传统精神文化的物质纪念。

Under the influence of traditional Chinese culture, ancient pagodas in China have been endowed with the connotation of humanistic spirit with Chinese characteristics. In the ancient Huizhou area of the mountainous region of Southern Anhui, there are a great number of ancient pagodas, among which many embody the humanistic view of "unity of heaven and man", the clan concept of "having a large family", and the fengshui thought of "filling the gap in living environment" influenced by the traditional Chinese fengshui thoughts. Moreover, these "high" and "prominent" pagodas also reflect the wish for great minds, which caters to the mental need of local people that officialdom is the natural outlet for good scholars. The value of Huizhou ancient pagodas lies in not only their architectural artistry, but also the humanistic spirit of ancient China they reflect. The preservation and existence of them is a memorial of the traditional Chinese spirit and culture.
