《越绝书》载战国时楚国吴地春申君子假君宫之可能空间与样态浅探

A Preliminary Study on the Restoration of a Nobility Palace Building Complex of Chu Kingdom Built in the Warring States Period as Recorded in “The Unique Book of Yue Kingdom” in Wu Area(Suzhou)

本文以东汉时人袁康撰《越绝书》中所载战国时楚国吴地贵族春申君所建造,并作为其子假君之宫院建筑群的相关史料中描述的空间与建筑尺寸数据为依据,结合西汉史家司马迁的记述,参考汉代建筑的大致造型,并参照江南地区穿斗式建筑的一般结构形态,推测想象了这组建造于公元前三世纪的中国古代高等级木构建筑群的空间布局、建筑形式与大体结构样貌,借以聊补中国建筑史在先秦时期建筑案例方面的缺失与不足之遗憾,同时,略增中国建筑史学界对中国先秦时期高等级建筑之空间组织与殿屋体量之可能形态的了解。

The book of ’’The History of Final Yue Kingdom'( Yue Jue Shu) was written by a scholar of Eastern Han dynasty called Yuan Kang. A ducal palace building complex was recorded in the book. The building complex was built by the famous nobleman, Chunshen in the Warring States period(475-221 B.C.).It was occupied and used by his son as a palace during the time that his son became heir to a dukedom.The building complex was located in the Wu Area of Chu Kingdom(now is the city of Suzhou). Some descriptions of relevant historical materials about the palace buildings both on spatial scale and building size are recorded in the book. Combined with Western Han dynasty historian Sima Qian’s describing Chunshen as well as some other materials about the building forms and structures of Han dynasty, specially the reference material on wood-framed building of South-East China, the author has tried to recover the essential space layout and the form of the building complex, as well as the possible structure of the buildings. The purpose of the paper is to add an example for the pre-Qin period in Chinese ancient architectural history and is trying to find some more knowledge on the building arrangement and the size of wood-framed high rank building at the early period of Chinese history.
