  • 中國建築美學史——先秦至兩漢：臺榭乘虛×殉葬建屋×天圓地方，從個人德性的彰顯到鬼神信仰的推展

    by 王耘 ...
    林語堂：「最好的建築是這樣的，我們身處在其中，卻不知道自然在哪裡終了，藝術在哪裡開始。」樹屋穴居 × 干欄式建築 × 宮殿臺榭從生存本能的滿足，延伸至華夏精神的藝術展現建築，不只是休憩居住之所，更是美善心性的孕育之處【起初不打算讓人居住的中國古建築】就中國古代建築文化的源頭而言，建築的核心詞，是「宅」。何謂「宅」？它在甲骨文裡，與後代所指的「住宅」含義並不相同。就卜辭而言，學者指出：「這種宅絕不是一般的住宅。結合宅所從的乇為祭名來看，則宅應為祭祀場所。」這意味著，宅非民宅，宅有祭神之用——起碼就其原型來看，提供給予人居住之所不是「宅」的主要功能。【先秦時期的諸子百家如何看待建築？】先秦時期的建築多由貴族建造，因此，士人對建築的審美功能的批判，實際上更接近階級、道德層面的批判，而不一定是針對建築本身。孔子：一個有誠信的君子，不應該居... ...

    by 王耘 ...
    梁思成：「建築師的業是什麼？直接地說是建築物之創造，為社會解決衣食住行中住的問題，間接地說，是文化的記錄者，是歷史之反照鏡。」岩棲石室 × 斗拱與壁畫 × 苑囿園林從以自然為家，逐漸轉為向內探求個人的一方天地建築，不只是陶冶心性之所，更是東方美學與藝術的精華薈萃【魏晉名士都喜歡露宿野外？】謝靈運曾自述其「岩棲」經歷，他素來自稱為「山棲之士」。這一點，不僅是奏表，就是與友人的書信中亦有表述。嵇康亦作詩，談及「岩穴多隱逸」，可見當時岩棲之流行。對當時雅好清談玄學的魏晉士人來說，以天然山水為居，不僅是修身養性的好方法，更是表明自身志趣的一種生活方式。【古人如何看待樹木之「靈」？】白先勇曾寫過名篇〈樹猶如此〉，悼念好友王國祥。歸有光亦在〈項脊軒志〉中提到妻子死去那年種植的枇杷樹，「今已亭亭如蓋矣」。樹木讓人留下的第一印象，不... ...
