释“露篱”

Interpretation of“LuLi(the Fence)”

《营造法式》"露篱"之构,可远溯殷商甲骨文时代,《诗经》也多有风诵,要在竹柴编织,不施泥塗的嵌空透露之状;施泥则称"堵"。此乃发中国古代艺术空灵特质之一端。

The fence described in the Yingzao Fashi can be traced back to the age of Oracle Bone Inscriptions.There are also many exquisite descriptions of it in The Book of Songs.It mentions by using bamboo to weave without applying mud,and the fence will appear to be porous.On the contrary,by applying mud it would be called wall.All these was to develop one of the ethereal qualities of ancient Chinese art.
