本研究探討台灣廟宇屋架形式種類,同時以屏東縣新惠宮舊廟為例,其傳統木構架建築中,位於正殿右棟架屋架形式及右棟架所有木構件為主要研究對象。此座廟宇為日治時期傳統廟宇,屋架形式為疊斗式木構架,木構架上大大小小構件之製作工法與外觀形式呈現出建造該廟宇大木匠師的精湛技藝,而此座廟宇之疊斗式木構架營造手法推測是屬於漳州派大木匠師流派,外觀形式上特殊處為三通五瓜式疊斗式屋架,榫卯接合使用上在疊斗式木構件中各構件與構件之間是採用燕尾榫、直榫、半榫、透榫、單向搭接榫、芽仔榫、開槽搭接等,數種榫卯形式。並探討傳統木構架建築中的榫卯形式,及在各個年代對於「榫卯」之用詞不同之處,以現場拍照方式記錄木構件形式及其榫卯形式。最後以研究範圍中榫卯形式建立一套榫卯接合資料庫。
The study researches different sorts of temple styles in Taiwan, and the object is the system of timber structure of the back hall in old Xinhuei temple in Pingtung County. The temple is a traditional model of japanece occpation period. The roof truss is so called piling-up timber structure, and every part of engineering method on shape and structure shows excellent technique of carpenter. The piling-up of timber structure is conjectured that belongs to carpenter sect of Changchou clique, and the special part of appearance is the piling-up timber structure model of three beams five bays. There are many different methods used to combine components of socket and mortise joint for piling-up timber structure, such as dovetail tenon, peg-shoulder, hollowed out tenon, single tenon, block board and fluted tenon. The styles, development and names in the different periods and locations were also discussed in this study. And the recorded members of old Xinhuei Temple are also by camera.
