柱础,置于木柱底部而承托之,因位置不显而在中国古典木构建筑中较少为人注意。然而事实上,柱础在几千年间的建筑形式与结构演变历史中扮演着举足轻重的角色,古建筑夯土为基、叠木为宇,柱础正当其间,是整体结构转换的关键部位。古代柱础主要以石为材,乃因重压之下石胜于土。石质柱础在建筑木构部分因年代久远或其他因素毁去之后,仍可为研判建筑的原始面貌提供 Column foundation, placed in the bottom of the wooden column and support, because the location is not obvious in China’s classical wooden buildings less attention.
