| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 鄉土文化研究所碩 / 博士班 === 91 === The expression methods of the wall paintings in Taiwan’s temples were mostly transplanted from Fookien and Canton; but gradually formed the local features with the changing of time, place and individual painters’ characteristics. Wall paintings, because of their large area, rich in social education, various resources, literal style, and personal skills, etc., were such like adding eyeballs to the picture of a dragon in the whole decorative structure of temples.
Tainan, the said ancient cultural city, had the most qualitative and quantitative old temples and the most famous painters in Taiwan. They left numerous precious wall paintings in the temples. But, due to the lack of proper preservation, the overlook of their importance, and many other inferior factors on the wall paintings of the temples, it’s necessary and immediately responsible for investigating and recording on the wall paintings of temples in Fu Cherng.
The aim of this study is to realize the origination of the wall paintings of temples in Taiwan and Fu Cherng, and analyze their cultural and spatial meanings through literature review, case study fieldwork, in-depth interview of painters and spatial esthetic analysis. Another purpose of this study is to construct the database on the wall paintings of temples in Fu Cherng, and to explore the operating procedures, transformation of techniques on the wall paintings, and painters’ characteristics of original work in Fu Cherng.
We obtained some important findings. There had been some phenomena including: the interpretation and edition of painting history was on literal painters, the cycle for wall paintings were short, the large-area wall paintings were of high-consumption practices, and lack of literary records from traditional architects, and so on. These had made obscure in the history of traditional wall paintings of temples in Fu Cherng in Ching Dynasty. Besides, Chinese culture was based on “recycle and ceaselessness” and “natural recovery” conceptions, and the architectural materials adopted were those easily renewed, so traditional temples were built of wood and reconstructed by generations, it’s not benefit for preserving on wall paintings. This is a pressing task for the government and the social popular together working on the preservation of precious wall paintings of temples in Fu Cherng.
