xiǎomùzuò (woodwork (general works), <visual works by material or technique>, ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: The term xiaomuzuo (lit. “small woodwork”) initially appeared in literature of the Song dynasty. Of the thirteen specialized categories in the Yingzao fashi, xiaomuzuo is one of two regarding timber. The second is damuzuo 大木作 (lit. “large woodwork” or “carpentry”). The section on xiaomuzuo in the Yingzao fashi comprises six chapters (juan 6-11), which include 42 entries of various practices, such as doors and windows (menchuang 門窗), partitions (geduan 隔斷), ceilings (zaojing 藻井), Buddhist and Daoist cabinets (Fo-Dao zhang 佛道帐), and well-pavilions (jingtingzi 井亭子). The distinctiveness of entries in each category makes it difficult to summarize their common characteristics (Xu 1957, 2995, 3108; Li 2009, juan 6-11). In the Qing dynasty, the term xiaomuzuo was no longer recorded in documents relating to the construction of imperial buildings. In Jiangnan and other places, xiaomuzuo specifically refers to wooden artifacts, furniture, and interior decoration (Jiang 1894, 12.29b; Zhang and Wang 1935, 84a). It can be seen that the meaning of xiaomuzuo developed alongside changes in building practices and construction techniques. |

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 小木作在古籍中最早見於宋代,屬以木為原料的,與築城工程、建築營造或器物製造相关的工種(徐 1957,2995,3108;李 2009,卷 6-11)。清代皇家營造文献中不見小木作的記載在江南等地,小木作專指製造器物、家具或者裝飾房屋的工種(江 1894,12.29b;張和汪 1935,84a)。可見,隨著建築做法及施工工藝的變化,小木作工種所包含的内容也在不斷變化之中。 |
