梁思成佚文《说建筑品格精神之所在》介绍

An Introduction to Liang Sicheng’s Forgotten Article “On the Character and Spirituality of Architecture”

摘要:

1943 年 6 月发表于《社会教育季刊》第 2 期的《说建筑品格精神之所在》是梁思成的一篇佚文。本文对其写作的背景、契机、目的和主要内容进行了研究和分析。作者认为，这篇文章是梁思成建筑美学思想的首次较为全面的表述，概括而言就是建筑要在解决实际问题的同时，以经济的手段达到主观愿望与现实条件、材料的施工与结构的功用、科学与艺术，以及物质与精神之间关系的相宜和平衡。它提出的时间正是“抗战转入胜利时期”，对于尚在抗日战争之中的建设和即将到来的战后重建都有现实的指导意义。

Abstract:

“On the Character and Spirituality of Architecture” (Shuo jianzhu pinge jingshen zhi suozai), published by Liang Sicheng in the Social Education Quarterly in June 1943, is not included in his complete works and is thus a forgotten article. Through investigating his writing background and analyzing his objective and main argument， the author believes that Liang’s article is the fifirst comprehensive expression of his aesthetic view on architecture. While he emphasized the signifificance of function, Liang also hoped to achieve the adaptation and balance between subjective expectations and actual conditions, material construction and structural effectiveness, science and art, and substance and spirituality through economic means. Liang’s article was written when China began to anticipate success in the Sino-Japanese War, and was instructive to both construction and reconstruction during and after the war．
