Research On Non-beam Temple Of Miaohuayan In Qingwei Palace Of Wudang Mountain

The ancient buildings of Wudang Mountain were built on a large scale in the Ming Dynasty.As the “Court Temple” of the Ming Dynasty,its existing Ming Dynasty architecture occupies an important position in Chinese official buildings.Wudang Mountain was located in the Hanshui River Basin.The north and south and the East and West cultures collided here.Therefore,the ancient architecture of Wudang Mountain is presented with a very inclusive character,not only showing the isolated image of the royal architecture.The ancient architecture of Wudang Mountain can be traced back to the "Stone door" and "Stone Room" where the legendary Xizhou Yinxi lived.On this basis,the "Cave Temple",the most characteristic ancient architectural form of Wudang Mountain,was developed,which finally formed the wonder of "72 Cave Temple".Miaohuayan is one of the existing 72 Cave Temple.Based on the two dimensions of construction and culture,this paper discusses the Non-beam Temple in Miaohuayan of Wudang Mountain and discusses it from both macro and micro perspectives.It is hoped that through the study of this typical case,the deep connotation of Wudang Mountain masonry construction thought will be explored to enrich the vision of ancient Chinese masonry buildings.First of all,through the study of historical materials,the history of Miaohuayan and Qingwei Palace was sorted out.It was determined that Miaohuayan was a Cave Temple built on the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty when overhauling Wudang,and clearly defined the status of Miaohuayan and Qingwei Palace in the ancient buildings of Wudang Mountain.Based on the field investigation,the research on the construction techniques of the damaged Non-beam Temple and the three Shentai in Miaohuayan were carried out,and the restoration research of the collapsed roof and construction methods of the Non-beam Temple were inferred.Based on this,the three-dimensional scanning data is combined with the mapping materials of Huazhong University of Science and Technology over the years.Relying on reliable first-hand data,the construction process related research on other types of masonry buildings other than the Non-beam Temple.Explore the stonework skills of Wudang Mountain.Further,from the cultural point of view,explore the significance of the appearance of the architectural form of Non-beam Temple,and the permanent and monumental significance of the Non-beam Temple in Miaohuayan.On this basis,carry out research on the Wudang Mountain Taoist architecture construction embodied in the Wudang Mountain stone temple of QiongtaiZhongguan Palace,an existing example of the Wudang Mountain.The relationship between the phenomenon that the Non-beam Temple began to appear in the Yuan Dynasty and became popular in the Ming Dynasty and the relationship between building materials,structure and culture was explored.Through long-term field investigations on the construction examples of cliffs in the Wudang Mountains and surrounding areas,based on the surveying and mapping,the historical materials and local books are used to study the Cave Temple architecture.And they are divided into four categories: the cliffs,the cliff tombs,the monastic caves and the grottoes.Explore the prototype of the Non-beam Temple in Wudang Mountain.Finally,from the commemorative architecture of Miaohuayan Non-beam Temple,reflecting the iconic status of Wudang Mountain masonry architecture in the history of Chinese architecture,starting from the inclusiveness of Wudang Mountain Taoist ideology and culture,the study based on Non-beam Temple of Miaohuayan in Qingwei Palace of Wudang Mountain has the dual meaning of architecture and history.
