文化地理学视角下建筑群对自然山体的文化塑造——以蕲黄地区山寺为例

Cultural Shaping of Natural Mountains by Architectural Complexes from the Perspective of Cultural Geography: A Case of Mountain Temple in Qihuang Area

山寺建筑群是人工构筑改造自然环境的典型例证。在文化地理学的视角下,也是讨论文化实体对自然实体塑造的典型样本。在中国佛教历史上,湖北蕲黄地区是山地寺院营建的独特而重要的区域。本研究通过对蕲黄地区相关地方志、寺志等文献的梳理,挖掘此文化塑造过程中文化主体的关键作用和塑造结果的丰富表征,为解读区域性建筑群的文化塑造能力提供新的思路。

Mountain Temple complex is a typical example of artificial construction reforming the natural environment. From the perspective of cultural geography, it is also a typical model to discuss the shaping of cultural entities to natural entities. In the history of Chinese Buddhism, Qihuang area in Hubei Province is a unique and important area for the construction of mountain temples.By combing the relevant local chronicles and temple chronicles in Qihuang area, this paper excavates the key role of cultural groups in the process of cultural shaping and the rich representation of shaping results. It provides new ideas for the interpretation on the cultural shaping ability of regional architectural complexes.
