한․일 고대 불교사원 금당의 평면 비교연구

Abstract

This study is on the characteristics of Geumdang(金堂), the main hall in ancient Buddhist temple by analysis of the plan of Geumdang through the layout of the basestone and jeoksim(the supporting part under the basestone, 積心). The results were as follows:First. Geumdang in the ancient Buddhist temple has its role as the center. Second, the Geumdang appeared to vary in size, but 5 × 3 bays, 5 × 4 bays have been seen as the most common plan. This is determined by the size of the plane generally. Third, in plan composition the distance of center two columns, that is Eokan(御間) typically is equal to or greater than it of the other columns, that is Hyeopkan(夾間), but especially the case of the same size between Eokan and Hyeopkan has mainly appeared in the Baekje region. Fourth, it is assumed that the shape of roof could be hipped-and-gable roof(八作) or hipped roof as the sizes would be similar between the front-Toekan(退間) and the side-Toekan. Fifth, the distance from column to stylobate was big with age and in the late 6th century it was about half as long against the size of Toekan. This can be explained the development of upper timber structure. This results have difficulties to be generalized as it has been investigated in excavated remains only. But it can be the one of view point for analysis the meaning of remains.
