Study on the Communication and Transmission of Traditional Construction in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Region on Japanese School Buildings in the Ming Dynasty Taking Xue Gong Tu Shuo as an Example
The study examines the influence of Chinese architectural culture and technology on Japan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties,represented by Zhu Shunshui,through a comparative approach of the architec-tural frameworks and layouts introduced by Zhu Shunshui's Xue Gong Tu Shuo,in terms of scale control,fram-ing features,component styles,and the layout of Xue Gong buildings.In terms of the plan layout of buildings,Japanese academy-type buildings studied Chinese academy-type architecture in the form of important individual building and the axis of the academy-type buildings'plans.However,the later development of Japanese academy architecture was selectively improved and applied;in terms of the architectural framework,the details such as the Xuan Lang,which represents corridor,and the Shu pillar style shows the characteristics of the Chinese Jiangsu and Zhejiang region,but the main core is still Japanese in style.This influence is a typical example of the fusion of for-eign and Japanese cultures,where layout and style are easy to learn,while technology and construction are more difficult to change and relying much more on carpenters.At a certain point in its development,the local culture became self-conscious and developed a style laid upon its own architectural system and passing it on in this way.
