佛光寺东大殿实测数据之再反思——兼与肖旻先生商榷

Reassessment of Data Measurement of the East Hall of Foguang Temple and Discussion by Xiao Min

本文回顾了现有关于佛光寺东大殿大木结构尺度的实测和研究,并通过接合木材特点、测绘方法、数据统计方法,审视应当如何更加谨慎地贴近并尝试解读原始设计。本文在与肖旻《佛光寺东大殿尺度规律探讨》一文讨论的同时,提倡多种假说争论的做法,更坚持案例技术研究和文化背景研讨的学术方向。

This paper reviews past surveys and studies on the actual measurements of the timber framework of the East Hall at Foguang Temple, Shanxi province, and explores new ways to interpret the original design more carefully and accurately based on an improved and integrated understanding of wood behavior, surveying and mapping methods, and data statistics. While discussing Xiao Min’s article( 'Foguangsi dongdadian chidu guilu tantao' [Discussion of the scale rules of the East Hall of Foguangsi]), the paper gives credence to various hypotheses and interpretations, but argues in favor of a technical object-centered methodology(case-study research) and cultural object-driven approach(background study).
