苏州瑞光塔设计模数初探

The research of design modulus of Suzhou Ruiguang Pagoda

苏州瑞光塔开建于北宋景德元年(1004年),是一座八面七级的砖芯木檐楼阁式塔。本文对现有测绘数据进行分析,推算出瑞光塔建造使用的营造尺长,推断出设计中可能使用的模数,并用相关古塔设计理论与该模数对比分析。

Suzhou Ruiguang Pagoda, which was built in the 1st year during the Jingde Reign of Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1004), is a wooden-eave brick-built pavilion pagoda with eight sides and seven floors. Through the analysis of existing survey data, this paper calculates the standard chi that may be used to build the pagoda, infers the modulus that may be used in the design of the pagoda, and verifies the modulus using relevant ancient pagoda design theory.
