wūtóumén (ceremonial gates, gate structures, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Wutoumen refers to a type of elaborate gateway used in high ranking buildings through the Song dynasty, after which it declines in use. As we can tell from paintings and extant examples, the shape, size, and structure of wutoumen vary considerably. However, all wutoumen employ tall pillars flanking the gate. The name is likely derived from the black ceramic tube-shaped finials on the top of these tall gate posts (Cefu yuangui 冊府元龜, 1013). Detailed records of wutoumen exist in the Song dynasty Yingzao fashi (1103, Li 2009, 6.2a-4a).

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 烏頭門是宋及以前主要使用於高等級建築的大門，其稱謂取自門柱上端套以黑色瓦筒的表征(冊府元龜, 1013)。宋以後“烏頭門”一詞使用較少見。烏頭門的形式在《營造法式》（1103）中有明確記載（李 2009，6.2a-4a）。實際在圖像資料中，烏頭門的尺寸、部件等做法均有所不同。但門柱形象的標誌性始終是其鮮明特征。 |
