摘要
在伊斯兰教中国化的历史进程中,建筑艺术已出现一系列变化.在表现方法上,强调以方代圆、注重韵律、明暗呼应、内外造境等;在建筑样式上,通过中国伊斯兰教建筑特有的山门、礼拜殿、拱北、八卦亭等风格样式来表现主次关系,借以彰显对超越维度的追求;在装饰纹样上,吉庆图案替代几何图案,采用中国特有的匾额、楹联形式,以经汉文字作为文字装饰.鉴于上述变化,在解读中国传统式伊斯兰教建筑艺术的意义时,中国的意象论优于西方的象征论.
Abstract
In the historical process of adapting Islam to Chinese conditions,Islamic architecture art in China has experienced a rich tapestry of evolution,including the replacement of circular forms with square forms in geometric designs,focusing on lingering charm instead of rhythm,the corresponding of light and shadow,and creating integrated internal and external environments.In terms of architectural styles,the distinctive characteristics of Chinese Islamic architecture such as the Gate,the Hall of Worship,Gongbei,and Eight Diagrams Pavilions exhibit a hierarchical structure,symbolizing a pursuit of transcendence.Regarding decorative patterns,auspicious and celebratory motifs have supplanted geometric designs,incorporating distinctively Chinese elements such as inscribed plaques and couplets,with Chinese characters and scriptural characters.When elucidating the significance of Chinese Islamic architectural art,the theory of imagery holds precedence over the Western theory of symbolism.
