清代太和殿的两次重建

On the Two-time Reconstruction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in The Qing Dynasty

本文根据档案文献的记载,对紫禁城太和殿是否在明代皇极殿的基础上重建作了梳理与厘正,认为清代太和殿经历过两次重建:顺治二年为第一次重建,康熙三十四年为第二次重建。同时,作者结合《太和殿纪事》一书,对第二次重建工程进行归纳,特别分析了康熙三十四年重建与康熙六年修缮之间的关系,揭示了匠师梁九在重建工程中的作用。

As is recorded in the historical documents, the Hall of Supreme Harmony(Tàihé Diàn in Chinese pinyin) was reconstructed two times in the Qing dynasty, in the 2nd year of Emperor Shunzhi’s( 顺治) reign and the 34th year of Emperor Kangxi’s(康熙) reign respectively. Combining the Chronicle of the Hall of Supreme Harmony(Tài Hé Diàn Jì Shì), the analysis focuses on the second reconstruction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony during Emperor Kangxi’s(康熙) period, and the connection between the 6th-year renovation and the 34th-year reconstruction of his reign. By the way, it touches on the role of Master Liang Jiu in the reconstruction projects.
