| Summary: | Buddhism and Taoism have enjoyed a flourishing development in Chengdu with many famous Buddhist and Taoist temples. This research takes typical Buddhist temple buildings and Taoist temple buildings in Chengdu as the research object. Through architectural surveying and mapping, the height and area data of temple buildings are quantized and counted, and their components and axial spatial plane and vertical layout characteristics are analyzed and compared. The results show that both Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are composed of two elements, including figure worship and non-figure worship. In the plane layout, they are mostly used in the south and straight line layout. The hierarchy of the halls in Buddhist temples is clear, while Taoist temples are more open. By clarifying their respective characteristics, the study achieved a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the spatial layout of Buddhist and Taoist temples in Chengdu, which is of great significance to enrich the connotation of religious architecture culture and improve the local culture of Sichuan. |
