明代建筑琉璃的等级制度

建筑中的等级制度实际上即是封建礼制在建筑上的反映。明代的建筑琉璃仅限于皇家的宫殿、园林、陵墓、坛庙、亲王的府第以及民间的寺庙道观使用。根据实际调研发现明代建筑琉璃的色彩与等级有关，明代建筑琉璃样制上尚保存了宋代琉璃的一些特点，但在规格和尺寸上较宋代丰富，可能受元代的影响。然而明代琉璃的样制仅与建筑自身的等级有关。

Sense of Hierarchy in Ming Period Revealed in Application of Glazed Tiles

The hierarchy in architecture is actually a reflection of the feudal etiquette system in architecture. The architectural coloured glaze of the Ming Dynasty was limited to royal palaces, gardens, mausoleums, altar temples, prince''s mansions, and folk temples and Taoist temples. According to the current investigation, it is found that the color with grade of Ming Dynasty architectural coloured glaze are related. The Ming dynasty still retains some of the characteristics of the Song Dynasty coloured glaze in terms of shape and structure, but it is much more abundant in terms of size and specifications than the Song Dynasty, which may be influenced by the Yuan Dynasty.
