《营造法式》栱长构成及其意义的再探讨

The Formation and Significance of Bracket Length in Yingzao Fashi

基于已有讨论,学界对《营造法式》栱长制度及其构成关系的认识得以逐渐清晰,然在令栱构成这一问题上仍存疑问。本文试图基于斗型与斗纹的关联性,在更广视野下寻找线索和答案,对《营造法式》栱长构成及其意义再作探讨。

Previous studies have discussed the measurement system for brackets in Song building standards(Yingzao fashi).However,still unclear is the origin of linggong length(uppermost parallel bracket in a Song bracket set,sometimes translated as“zero-additions bracket”).This paper re-examines this issue from a broader perspective,focusing on the relation between the form of dou(loadbearing block)and the wood grain on the frontal surface,in order to clarify the guiding principles behind the formation of bracket length in Yingzao fashi.
