开元寺天王殿建筑构造（一）

Architectural Construction of Hall of Lokapalas in Kaiyuan Temple,Chaozhou

摘要:

广东潮州开元寺天王殿1981~1983年进行落架大修。通过对开元寺进行整体勘察，发现天王殿平面进深与面阔之比与现存唐宋时期建筑部分相差较大。厅堂结构体系与佛光寺相比，二者平面柱网相似，而上部梁架则差异甚大。立面与山门装修做法使位于末间中槽之天王像不致于显露其侧面。天王殿梁架由明、次、稍、尽间以及厦头、转角五种不同形式组成，均为典型的柱梁排架式结构，明、次间屋架几乎全由铰打叠斗代替梁上矮柱。殿内石柱刻联记载了历代营修。最终经过一系列比对和研究，确定了天王殿修缮方案。

Abstract:

The Tianwang Hall of Kaiyuan Temple in Chaozhou, Guangdong was overhauled from 1981 to 1983. Through the overall investigation of Kaiyuan Temple, it is found that the ratio of the plane depth to the plane width of Tianwang Hall is quite different from the existing buildings of Tang and Song dynasties. After careful comparison and research, the repair plan was finally determined.
