檼衬角栿研究

Study on Chinese Traditional Hidden Beam Yinchen Jiaofu

檼衬角袱是记录在史籍《营造法式》中的一种构件,自二十世纪三十年代至今已经有多家学者对此进行研究,但其中仍有一些疑问和争议,本文从文字和实例出发尝试对这一问题继续深入。研究表明,檼衬角袱是设在有平棊或者平闇的庑殿、歇山或者攒尖建筑角部的草乳栿,其结构意义在于支撑大角梁的同时起到加强角部构造的作用。文章还对可能设有这种构件的唐至宋金建筑遗存进行了枚举,方便今后针对这些建筑遗存中的檼衬角栿的实证研究。

The hidden beam in corner of Chinese traditional timber structure, Yingchen Jiaofu in Chinese, is a structure member recorded in the ancient literature named Yingzao Fashi(Treatise on Architectural Methods), in Northern Song Dynasty. From the last 30 s till now researchers had studied on this structure member, but some doubts and controversial topics still exist. This paper studies this beam by analyzing the Chinese characters and related cases, and the research results indicate that the hidden beam is a hidden structure member set in corners of the timber structures above ceilings of buildings with hip roof,gable-and hip roof or pyramid roof, to support the hip rafter or corner rafter and to strengthen the corner structure of timber structure. This paper also examples the architectural remains that this kind of beam could be set in from 8 th century to 13 th century, which would be helpful for future empirical studies on this hidden beam.
