dougong (brackets (structural elements), <spanning and projecting structural elements>, ... Components (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Dougong refers to a unit consisting of a number of mortised bearing blocks (dou 斗), arms (gong 栱), tie-beams (fang 枋) and inclined beams (ang 昂). They are often used under the eaves, on beams, or on the tops of pillars.The first use of the term dougong as a compound word can be traced to the Sui dynasty translation of the Yaoshi rulai benyuan jing (Dharmagupta trans. 616 CE, Taishō 449): “The city-gate towers, walls and parapets, doors and windows, halls and pavilions, pillars and beams, blocks and bracket arms (dougong 斗拱), surrounding like a net, are all composed of the seven jewels.” After the Sui dynasty, dougong gradually became a set technical term and can be found in a number of different textual sources. The earliest known material evidence for dougong is the dragon-phoenix table-base excavated from the Warring States Period Zhongshan royal necropolis in Pingshan, Hebei province (ca. 310 BCE; ZHONG Xiaoqing, 2010：113-119). From the Han dynasty onward we have many extant examples of dougong in the visual record.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 斗栱，又作枓栱，是中國古代建築中最有特點的組成部分，一般來說是指出現在建筑物的檐下、梁架間或柱頭上，由一些斗形構件和一些栱形構件及枋木、昂等組成的一種單元。以枓栱作為名詞指代特定的對象始於隋代大業十二年（616年）所譯的《藥師如來本願經》，經文中提到 “城闕、垣牆、門窗、堂閣、柱樑、斗栱，周匝羅網，皆七寶成”。（T0449_.14.0402a22）之後，逐漸成為固定的術語，普遍見於各類文獻中。目前最早的枓栱形象，一般認為是出土的戰國時期河北平山中山王墓的龍鳳銅案上的枓栱。（ca. 310 BCE; 鍾曉青，2010：113-119）在漢代以後的遺存中，枓栱形象多見. |
