摘要
The Main Hall of Jingtu Monastery in Ying County, Shanxi, dated to 1124, is an ideal structure through which to explore the building system and its purpose during the nonnative Jin dynasty (1115-1234). The structure of the hall is shown to be extremely simple, in contrast to its ceiling, the most structurally complicated and magnificent ceiling among known Jin buildings or those a century earlier or later in date. An examination of Jin architecture shows Jingtusi Main Hall to be typical. The structure is shown to have some roots in construction of the former century, but to be a simpler version with a more complicated ceiling than Song or Liao buildings. An investigation of Jin tomb architecture yields similar results: structurally simpler tombs than those built in earlier times with explosive detail in ceiling and wall decoration. The lack of monumental construction distinguishes Jin not only in China but also among conquest dynasties. It is suggested that architecture was not fundamental to Jin imperial goals. As a result, the Jin period had little impact on Chinese construction. The intense interest in detail, however, is suggested to be part of a wider-spread phenomenon evident beyond Jin's borders during the period.
