Abstract

As a monumental building in the form of an arch, an archway has the characteristics of praise and honor. More and more historic, cultural and social connotations are given during the development of history. Four archways that are located on the middle route of the Red Gate Palace in the Mount Tai Scenic Area were chosen for research. Based on a literature review and field investigation with a visual analysis method, the physical attributes, spatial scale, perceptions and functions of the archways were discussed. The results were as follows: The archways in the research area are all made of stone. According to building location, they are classified into two types: Cultural archway and temple archway. Regarding functions, they are divided into symbolic archway, memorial archway and portal archway. From the point of view of form and scale, the Confucius Boarding Archway enjoys a higher standard than the other three. This reflects the importance of Confucian culture on Mount Tai. Regarding spatial scale, the archway becomes the focus in a restrictive linear space by an object-to-object and person-to-object comparison. Visitor experience of crossing the archways is strongly enhanced as it acts as entrance and exit, and it has the function of guiding sight since the arrangement of the archways further extend the line of sight. Couplets and inscriptions on the archways increase a sense of expectation for visitors on their way to the top of Mount Tai.

현관식 기념 건축물로 축조하는 패방은 정표와 장려의 기능을 가지고 있다. 시대의 발전에 따라 더 많은 역사 문화적인 내용 및 사회 기능이 부여된다. 본 연구는 타이산 명승지 중부에 위치한 홍문궁의 4기 패방을 대상으로 문헌연구와 현장조사 및 시각적 분석 방법을 통해 기본 속성, 공간 척도와 공간 느낌, 기능 등 3가지 측면을 연구하였다. 연구 구간 안에 있는 패방의 재료는 모두 석조이며, 건조 위치에 따라 명승지 및 사찰의 패방 등의 2종과 기능에 따라 표지, 기념, 문형 등 3종이 있다. 형태와 크기를 보면 '공자등림처방(孔子登臨處坊)'이라는 패방의 수준이 가장 높아 유교 문화의 지위를 중요시하였음을 알 수 있다. 패방의 입지 공간은 실체와 감성 등 2가지 측면으로 상호 작용을 통해 이해하면 전체 경관의 공간적 의미를 완전하게 파악할 수 있다. 공간 척도로 볼 때 패방은 다른 경관요소와 서로 조화를 이루고, 한정된 선형 공간 중 사물 간 또는 사물과 사람 간 상호 비교를 통해 패방의 시선 초점 기능을 강조하고, 관광객들이 패방 아래를 통과할 때의 느낌을 증진시킬 수 있다. 홍문궁 패방은 공간을 합치고 규정하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 배열방식이 시선을 더욱 뻗어 나갈 수 있게 한다. 패방 위에 있는 대련과 글씨는 등산 전의 기대감을 증가시키고, 공간의 안내 기능을 강화시킨다.
