承德普宁寺大乘阁大佛构造做法介绍

Construction of Big Buddha Statue in Dacheng Ge (Mahayana Hall) of Puning Temple at Chengde

摘要:

普宁寺位于“避暑山庄”的北麓，寺内建筑布局特殊，寺内主要建筑大乘阁置千手千眼佛一尊，是我国最大的木质造像。1960年普宁寺大乘阁落架大修时，因大佛向前倾斜，需要同时进行加固修整，对大佛进行了详细的勘查、测绘。大佛由十五根立柱和四层搁板组成的木框架，在木框架的周圈钉二层至四层壁板，将整个木框架封闭在内，在最外一层的木板上再精工细雕而成。从大佛内部木框架做法，可以看出古代楼阁建筑的基本结构方法，被巧妙地运用在大型木造佛像上，此法充分显示了造像匠师的聪明才智。

Abstract:

Puning Temple is located at the northern foot of the Mountain Resort. The Thousand-hand thousand-eye Buddha, located in the main building of the temple, mahayana Pavilion, is the largest wooden statue in China. In 1960, when the Mahayana Pavilion of Puning Temple was overhauled, it needed to be strengthened and repaired at the same time because the giant Buddha was tilted forward. A detailed survey and mapping of the giant Buddha was conducted. From the internal wooden frame of the Buddha, we can see that the basic structure method of ancient pavilion architecture was skillfully applied to the large wooden Buddha, which fully shows the wisdom of the craftsman.
