Traditional Islamic architecture in China has a history of more than 1,000 years.In the course of thousands of years of history,China’s traditional Islamic architecture has continuously produced various connections with its times and regions,forming a unique Chinese architectural pattern and architectural form,showing obvious localization characteristics,with a strong traditional Chinese cultural heritage,and has always been one of the traditional Chinese architectural types.Courtyard space and architectural space are interdependent.The internal architectural space and the external architectural space support and complement each other,which forms the architectural space in people’s subjective perception.Therefore,the discussion of courtyard space is of great significance.This paper first briefly describes the localization characteristics of Chinese traditional Islamic architecture in each period,and then analyzes the selected cases of Chinese traditional Islamic architecture one by one,exploring its historical evolution,courtyard spatial layout characteristics,courtyard spatial organization mode,the construction of courtyard spatial sequence,and the layout of courtyard spatial elements,etc.,and then carries out a horizontal analysis of these characteristics.Summarize the generality and particularity among them,and find the traditional cultural roots of our traditional Islamic architecture.The traditional Islamic architecture in our country widely uses the local elements of the courtyard space,such as the screen wall,couplets,plaques and so on.The carving and inscriptions on the courtyard are also the contents of auspicious meanings such as Confucian classics,dragon and phoenix,and kirin.In the selection of plants,we can often see ginkgo biloba,loquat,wintersweet and other plants that Chinese people have always loved.In the arrangement of plants,the common landscape grouping methods of Chinese classical gardens such as spot planting,cluster planting and group planting can also be seen everywhere,and the local characteristics are distinctive.In the courtyard pattern of traditional Islamic architecture in China,the axial symmetry layout is widely used,which is the same as the traditional Chinese official architecture and temple architecture.The Xianhe Temple in Yangzhou and the Puhading Cemetery in Yangzhou,located in the south of the Yangtze River,have applied more gardening techniques in Chinese classical gardens,such as imitating nature and seeing the small as the big,with distinct regional characteristics.In the spatial sequence organization of courtyards in traditional Islamic architecture in China,a large number of spatial scale contrast is used to create a sense of spatial sequence and hierarchy.It is not only a linear sequence composed of multiple doors and multiple channels in official architecture,but also a winding path that pursues flow and change and combines the virtual and real as in classical Chinese gardens.This paper explores the spatial characteristics of traditional Islamic buildings in our country,trying to summarize the localization characteristics of traditional Islamic buildings in our country,excavate the general laws and internal order behind these characteristics,and establish people’s general cognition of its form by drawing lessons from history,so as to provide some new ideas for the protection and construction of Islamic buildings in our country. |
