In ancient times, the use of building materials varied from region to region.  Westerners were used to utilize stone, while Chinese preferred wood. Chinese people believe that wood represents vitality and it carries all things in the “five elements”, so they like to build houses with a lot of wood. As a result, the basic feature of ancient Chinese architecture is that most of the buildings were made of earth and wood. The reason why ancient buildings in China can be maintained and developed for a long time is that the ancient Chinese created the "wood mortise and tenon joint". It is the wide application of this mortise and tenon in construction that has strongly promoted the continuous progress of wood structure architecture in China. (Barasch 2000, 46)

Mortise and tenon is an ancient technique full of wisdom. It is a structure that plays a role in connecting wooden objects. It uses a concave-convex connection between two wooden pieces. The convex part is called the “tenon” (Sun), and the concave part is called the “mortise” (Mao). The combination of the them can act as a connection. The mortise and tenon structure is a clever combination of more and less, high and low, long and short between wood parts, which can effectively limit the twisting of wood parts in all directions. This structure was widely used in ancient Chinese architecture, furniture and other wooden instruments.

First, stability. The mortise and tenon joint is interlocked through the concave and convex parts of the wood to form a stable whole. This structure is not only beautiful, but also practical, which can withstand large loads, while allowing a certain deformation to offset the impact of external forces such as earthquakes. (Yang Tianzhi, 2020, 84)

The practical application cases of mortise and tenon structure are rich and colorful, covering many fields such as architecture, furniture and industrial design. In the field of construction, mortise and tenon structures are used to connect beams, columns and other components to create a strong and flexible frame. For example, the Chinese National Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo has adopted the mortise and tenon structure, showing its unique charm and stability. In the field of furniture, mortise and tenon structure is widely used in the production of tables, chairs, beds, cabinet doors and other furniture. Through the clever use of mortise and tenon structure, the furniture is not only stable and durable, but also has beautiful and practical characteristics. In the field of industrial design, mortise and tenon structures also play an important role. For example, in the manufacture of vehicles such as high-speed railways and aircraft, the use of mortise and tenon structures makes the vehicles more stable and durable and lightweight. At the same time, the mortise and tenon structure is also used in the manufacture of locks and other security products, giving the lock higher safety performance. (Dong Sensen 2018, 2)

As a type of exquisite connections without nails and glue, mortise and tenon joint contains not only practical skills, but also a profound philosophical thought and cultural inheritance. In terms of philosophy, it embodies the concept of “harmony between Yin and Yang” and “harmonious coexistence ”in traditional Chinese culture. The tenon is Yang, and the mortise represents Yin. The mortise and tenon are nested with each other, just as Yin and Yang depend on each other and transform each other to form a stable and harmonious whole. This concept is also reflected how Chinese people handle the relations, which emphasizes mutual cooperation, complementarity and symbiosis. In terms of cultural inheritance, mortise and tenon skill has been passed on for thousands of years by means of teacher-apprentice and family inheritance. Ancient craftsmen with superb skills and a wealth of experience, created countless amazing works of architecture and furniture. Mortise and tenon culture is not only the inheritance of technology, but also the inheritance of Craftsman spirit, which embodies the perfection of technology and the strict requirement of quality. In terms of aesthetic, it is simple and elegant, with smooth lines and natural forms, it conforms to the traditional Chinese aesthetic concept. In terms of social sense, it reflects the life style and cultural customs of ancient Chinese society. For example, the mortise and tenon structure in traditional Chinese furniture has adapted to people's living habits and etiquette norms, and has become an important part of family life and social activities. In terms of educational value, it cultivates people's patience, carefulness and creativity, allowing people to realize the combination of wisdom and power in practice.

古代人的主要建筑材料,西方世界是石头,中国人则是木材。中国人认为木材在“五行”中代表生机、承载万物,所以喜欢大量用木材构建房屋,于是中国古代建筑的基本特征就是土木结构。中国的土木结构建筑之所以能长期保持和发展,还有一个重要因素:古代中国人独创了“木作榫卯结构”。正是这种榫卯工艺在建筑上的广泛应用,有力推动了中国的土木结构建筑不断进步。(Barasch 2000, 46)

Mortise and Tenon Joint


Kuang Jing


Abstract


This paper explores the unique mortise and tenon joint in ancient Chinese architecture, a technique for joining wood without nails and glue. The mortise and tenon joint is famous for its stability, environmental protection, artistry and manufacturability, and its history can be traced back to Hemudu period, and then it has been developed and improved in various dynasties. Mortise and tenon is not only a skill, but also contains profound philosophical thoughts and cultural inheritance, reflecting the concept of harmony between Yin and Yang and harmonious coexistence. In modern society, mortise and tenon joint is still widely used in the fields of architecture, furniture and industrial design, and its cultural and educational value cannot be ignored. Mortise and tenon technology should not be forgotten by the development of science and technology, but should be combined with modern technology to inherit and develop this traditional culture.

Key words: Mortise and Tenon Joint; Art of Architecture; Chinese Traditional Culture


Introduction

In ancient times, the use of building materials varied from region to region. Westerners were used to utilize stone, while Chinese preferred wood. Chinese people believe that wood represents vitality and it carries all things in the “five elements”, so they like to build houses with a lot of wood. As a result, the basic feature of ancient Chinese architecture is that most of the buildings were made of earth and wood. The reason why ancient buildings in China can be maintained and developed for a long time is that the ancient Chinese created the "wood mortise and tenon joint". It is the wide application of this mortise and tenon in construction that has strongly promoted the continuous progress of wood structure architecture in China. (Barasch 2000, 46)

Mortise and tenon is an ancient technique full of wisdom. It is a structure that plays a role in connecting wooden objects. It uses a concave-convex connection between two wooden pieces. The convex part is called the “tenon” (Sun), and the concave part is called the “mortise” (Mao). The combination of the them can act as a connection. The mortise and tenon structure is a clever combination of more and less, high and low, long and short between wood parts, which can effectively limit the twisting of wood parts in all directions. This structure was widely used in ancient Chinese architecture, furniture and other wooden instruments.


Characteristics of Mortise and Tenon Joint

First, stability. The mortise and tenon joint is interlocked through the concave and convex parts of the wood to form a stable whole. This structure is not only beautiful, but also practical, which can withstand large loads, while allowing a certain deformation to offset the impact of external forces such as earthquakes. (Yang Tianzhi, 2020, 84)

Second, environmental protection. The mortise and tenon joint does not use external connection materials such as nails and adhesives, but completely relies on the characteristics of the wood itself to connect, so it is more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Third, artistry. The design of mortise and tenon joint is exquisite, whose forms are diverse, such as Dovetails Tenon (Yanwei Sun), Doble-mitred Tenon (Gejian Sun), Embracing-shoulder Tenon (Baojian Sun), etc., each of which has unique aesthetic sense and artistic value. These structures not only enhance the stability of the wood products, but also add a unique cultural flavor.

Fourth, manufacturability. The production of mortise and tenon structures requires superb woodwork and rich experience. Craftsmen need to accurately design and make mortise and tenon joints according to the texture, hardness and other characteristics of the wood to ensure that the connection is strong and beautiful.


History and Development of Mortise and Tenon Joint

The mortise and tenon structure can be traced back to the Hemudu period. With the increase of the function of wooden tools and the maturity of bronze smelting, simple wooden furniture began to appear in Xia and Shang dynasties, and then the application of mortise and tenon structure was gradually widespread. During the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the mortise and tenon structure was used in the furniture making and architecture, and concave and convex tenon appeared. During this period, the mortise and tenon structure was greatly developed, which is inseparable from the emergence of a key figure - Lu Ban, who is said to have applied mortise and tenon technology to furniture, and also invented the dougong structure in architecture. In Qin and Han dynasties, the main wooden frame got matured, and mortise and tenon bricks, tongue-and-groove bricks, wedge bricks and so on appeared. During the period of Southern and Northern Dynasties, the national integration of culture and economic exchanges promoted the development of furniture, and mortise and tenon joints developed accordingly. In Sui and Tang dynasties, the mortise and tenon structure entered its heyday, the high furniture developed rapidly, and the wooden buildings were precise and solid. Song and Yuan dynasties represented the peak period of aesthetics, for the cultural atmosphere was rich. Yingxian Wooden Tower was dazzling. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, furniture craftsmanship was exquisite, there were more than 100 kinds of mortise and tenon structures, and the largest wooden building, the Forbidden City, was world-renowned.


Practical Application of Mortise and Tenon Structure in Modern Times

The practical application cases of mortise and tenon structure are rich and colorful, covering many fields such as architecture, furniture and industrial design. In the field of construction, mortise and tenon structures are used to connect beams, columns and other components to create a strong and flexible frame. For example, the Chinese National Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo has adopted the mortise and tenon structure, showing its unique charm and stability. In the field of furniture, mortise and tenon structure is widely used in the production of tables, chairs, beds, cabinet doors and other furniture. Through the clever use of mortise and tenon structure, the furniture is not only stable and durable, but also has beautiful and practical characteristics. In the field of industrial design, mortise and tenon structures also play an important role. For example, in the manufacture of vehicles such as high-speed railways and aircraft, the use of mortise and tenon structures makes the vehicles more stable and durable and lightweight. At the same time, the mortise and tenon structure is also used in the manufacture of locks and other security products, giving the lock higher safety performance. (Dong Sensen 2018, 2)


The Significance of Mortise and Tenon Joint

As a type of exquisite connections without nails and glue, mortise and tenon joint contains not only practical skills, but also a profound philosophical thought and cultural inheritance. In terms of philosophy, it embodies the concept of “harmony between Yin and Yang” and “harmonious coexistence ”in traditional Chinese culture. The tenon is Yang, and the mortise represents Yin. The mortise and tenon are nested with each other, just as Yin and Yang depend on each other and transform each other to form a stable and harmonious whole. This concept is also reflected how Chinese people handle the relations, which emphasizes mutual cooperation, complementarity and symbiosis. In terms of cultural inheritance, mortise and tenon skill has been passed on for thousands of years by means of teacher-apprentice and family inheritance. Ancient craftsmen with superb skills and a wealth of experience, created countless amazing works of architecture and furniture. Mortise and tenon culture is not only the inheritance of technology, but also the inheritance of Craftsman spirit, which embodies the perfection of technology and the strict requirement of quality. In terms of aesthetic, it is simple and elegant, with smooth lines and natural forms, it conforms to the traditional Chinese aesthetic concept. In terms of social sense, it reflects the life style and cultural customs of ancient Chinese society. For example, the mortise and tenon structure in traditional Chinese furniture has adapted to people's living habits and etiquette norms, and has become an important part of family life and social activities. In terms of educational value, it cultivates people's patience, carefulness and creativity, allowing people to realize the combination of wisdom and power in practice.


Conclusion

Mortise and tenon structure condenses the essence of Chinese traditional culture for thousands of years. It is a great invention of wood construction technology that China has been proud of. Mortise and tenon joint should not be forgotten with the development of science and technology. Today, the mortise and tenon joint is also showing new vitality in the field of modern design and architecture. Designers combine traditional mortise and tenon with modern technology to create works that both have traditional cultural heritage and meet modern aesthetic and functional needs, so that the mortise and tenon culture can be inherited and developed in the new era.

介绍

古代人的主要建筑材料,西方世界是石头,中国人则是木材。中国人认为木材在“五行”中代表生机、承载万物,所以喜欢大量用木材构建房屋,于是中国古代建筑的基本特征就是土木结构。中国的土木结构建筑之所以能长期保持和发展,还有一个重要因素:古代中国人独创了“木作榫卯结构”。正是这种榫卯工艺在建筑上的广泛应用,有力推动了中国的土木结构建筑不断进步。(Barasch 2000, 46)

榫卯是一项充满智慧的古老技艺是木质器物之间起到连接作用的一种结构,它在两个木构件上所采用一种凹凸结合的连接方式。凸出部分叫“榫”(或榫头),凹进部分叫“卯”(或榫眼、榫槽),榫和卯咬合,起到连接作用。榫卯结构是榫和卯的结合,是木件之间多与少、高与低、长与短的巧妙组合,可有效地限制木件向各个方向的扭动。这种结构方式在中国古代建筑、家具以及其他木制器械中得到了广泛应用。


榫卯结构的特点

第一,稳固性。榫卯结构通过木材自身的凹凸部分相互咬合,形成稳固的整体。这种结构不仅美观,而且实用,能够承受较大的荷载,同时允许产生一定的变形,以抵消地震等外力带来的冲击。(杨天智 2020,84)

第二,环保性。榫卯结构不使用钉子、粘合剂等外部连接材料,完全依靠木材自身的特性进行连接,因此更加环保、可持续。

第三,艺术性。榫卯结构的设计精巧,形式多样,如燕尾榫、格肩榫、抱肩榫等,各自具有独特的美感和艺术价值。这些结构不仅增强了木制品的稳固性,还为其增添了独特的文化韵味。

第四,工艺性。榫卯结构的制作需要高超的木作工艺和丰富的经验。工匠们需要根据木材的纹理、硬度等特性,精准地设计和制作榫卯,以确保其连接牢固、美观大方。


榫卯结构的发展历史

榫卯结构的历史可以追溯到河姆渡时期,随着木质工具功能的增加和青铜冶炼技术的成熟,夏商时期开始出现简单的木质家具,榫卯结构的应用逐渐广泛。春秋战国时期,榫卯结构从建筑沿用到家具制作中,出现了凹凸榫等形式。在这一时期榫卯结构得到极大的发展,这离不开一个关键人物——鲁班的出现,据说是他将榫卯技术运用到家具中,还发明了建筑中的斗拱结构。秦汉时期,主体木构架成熟,出现榫卯砖、企口砖、楔形砖等。魏晋南北朝时期,民族大融合,文化、经济交流促进家具发展,榫卯随之发展。隋唐时期,进入鼎盛期,高型家具发展迅速,木构建筑精密坚实。宋元时期是美学巅峰时期,人文气息浓郁,应县木塔“斗拱”耀眼。明清时期,家具工艺精湛,榫卯结构百余种,最大木构建筑紫禁城誉世。


榫卯结构在现代中的实际应用

榫卯结构的实际应用案例丰富多彩,涵盖了建筑、家具、工业设计等多个领域。在建筑领域,榫卯结构被用于连接梁、柱等构件,构建出稳固而富有弹性的框架。例如,上海世博会中国国家馆就采用了榫卯结构,展现了其独特的魅力和稳定性。在家具领域,榫卯结构被广泛应用于桌椅、床榻、柜门等家具的制作中。通过榫卯结构的巧妙运用,家具不仅结构稳固耐用,还兼具美观和实用的特性。在工业设计领域,榫卯结构同样发挥着重要作用。例如,在高速铁路和飞机等交通工具的制造中,榫卯结构的运用使得交通工具更加稳固耐用且轻质化。同时,榫卯结构还被用于制造锁具等安防产品,赋予了锁具更高的安全性能。(董森森 2018,2)


榫卯结构的意义

榫卯作为一种不用钉子和胶水的精妙连接方式,其蕴含的不仅仅是实用的技艺,更是一种深厚的哲学思想和文化传承。从哲学层面来看,榫卯体现了中国传统文化中“阴阳调和”,“和谐共生”的理念。榫为阳、卯为阴,榫卯相互嵌套,紧密结合,正如阴阳相互依存、相互转化,共同构成一个稳定而和谐的整体。这种理念也反映在中国人为人处世、社会关系的处理中,强调相互配合、互补共生。在文化传承方面,榫卯技艺通过师徒传承、家族传承等方式,历经数千年而不衰。古代的工匠们凭借精湛的技艺和丰富的经验,创造出了无数令人惊叹的建筑和家具作品。榫卯文化不仅是技艺的传承,更是一种工匠精神的传承,体现了对工艺的精益求精、对品质的严格要求。从审美角度而言,榫卯结构简洁而优雅,其线条流畅,形态自然,符合中国传统美学观念。在社会意义上,榫卯文化反映了中国古代社会的生活方式和文化习俗。例如,传统的中式家具中的榫卯结构,适应了人们的起居习惯和礼仪规范,成为家庭生活和社交活动的重要组成部分。从教育价值上,它培养了人们的耐心、细心和创造力,让人们在实践中领悟到智慧和力量的结合。


总结

榫卯结构凝结着中国几千年传统文化的精粹是中国引以为傲的木构技术伟大发明榫卯工艺,不应该随着科技的发展而被淡忘。如今,榫卯文化在现代设计和建筑领域中也焕发出新的生机。设计师们将传统榫卯与现代工艺相结合,创造出既具有传统文化底蕴又符合现代审美和功能需求的作品,使榫卯文化在新时代得以传承和发展。
