隋唐与明清都城建筑风格的文化内涵及其变异

建筑是人类创造的最自豪的文明成果之一 ,是文化思想的结晶。一个时代的建筑布局设计、艺术风格鲜明地反映了该时代的经济、社会、科技及相应工程材料等特点。建筑的兴衰与社会的兴衰相始终。从隋唐都城和明清都城建筑的比较中可以看出 ,唐代的建筑风格豪壮奔放 ,显示出广阔博大的气势 ;清代的建筑风格圆熟典丽、端庄凝重 ,透射出过度程式化的倾向。这正是封建社会从鼎盛期到衰落期的时代变迁和文化心理变化的必然结果

Cultural Interpretation of and Variations in the Architectural Style of the Capital City in the Sui Tang Dynasty and the Ming/Qing Dynasty

Architecture is one of the most civilized products man has ever created and a crystallation of cultural thoughts. The layout, design and artistic style of buildings within a historic period distinctly reflected the features of its economy, society, sci-tech and building materials. The rise and fall of architecture goes along with that of the society. A comparison between the architectural style of the Sui/Tang Dynasty and that of the Ming/Qing Dynasty shows that the buildings of the Tang are characterized by grandeur, naturalness, vastness and breadth, while those of the Qing are elegant, delicate, full of dignity and uniformity. This is just the manifestation of the changes in the feudal society from its prime to decline.
