唐宋时期台州寺院修建海塘考论

Texture Research of Seawalls Constructed by Temples During Tang and Song Dynasties:Case Study of Taizhou

海洋是形成浙东唐诗之路的要素之一,修建海塘是构筑海洋文化重大的基础性工程。台州地区海岸线绵长,唐僧怀玉修建了台州第一条海塘——健阳塘,开启了佛教界乃至宗教界修建海塘的一代新风;南宋时天台山国清寺、万年寺,以及临海白莲寺相继在台州沿海筑塘涂田。唐宋时期台州寺院积极参与修建海塘,推进了台州沿海海塘的建设,成为围垦涂田的重要力量,也推动了台州经济从山谷经济、平原经济向滨海经济发展,港口市镇开始兴起,为台州海外贸易和文化交流提供了支撑点。

The ocean was one of the elements in the formation of Zhedong Tang Poetry Road.Seawall construction is an essential and basic part in building marine culture.Taizhou has a long coastline.A monk named Huaiyu in the Tang Dynasty built Jianyang Seawall,the first seawall in Taizhou,which opened a new trend of seawall construction in Buddhist and religious circles.In the Southern Song Dynasty,Guoqing Temple and Wannian Temple in Tiantai Mountain,as well as Bailian Temple in Linhai successively built seawalls along the coast of Taizhou.During Tang and Song Dynasties,Temples in Taizhou actively involved in seawall construction,which promoted the speed of construction and became a vital force in reclamation.It pushed the local economy developing from valley and plain economy to coastal one.Since then,port towns began to rise,providing a catch point for overseas trade and cultural exchanges in Taizhou.
