中国营造学社摄易县开元寺照片考述

Recounting the Photographs of Kaiyuan Temple in Yi County as Taken by the Society for Research in Chinese Architecture

1934年中国营造学社刘敦桢一行对易县开元寺进行了调查、测绘,曾发表纪略文字、平面图和20幅照片,清华大学中国营造学社纪念馆现存的145幅开元寺照片即是来自这次调查。根据新近对开元寺的研究,现在可以准确标定这些照片的拍摄位置和内容,也可以判断拍摄次序和大部分照片的拍摄时段。

In 1934,Liu Dunzhen went with his team from the Society for Research in Chinese Architecture to investigate Kaiyuan Temple in Yi County.Following the investigation,they published a comprehensive report containing a summary,plans,and 20 photographs.These 145 photographs,currently housed in the Memorial Hall of the Society for Research in Chinese Architecture at Tsinghua University,originate from this investigation.Recent research on Kaiyuan Temple has made it possible to precisely ascertain the shooting locations and subjects depicted in these photographs,and to determine the chronological order and time period associated with the majority of the images.
