摘要/Abstract
辽代建筑遗存无论在规模、等级、数量和保存质量上均构成中古时期古代建筑遗存中最重要的部分。从中国营造学社调查辽代建筑开始，中国建筑史进入了科学研究阶段。中国营造学社在调查辽代建筑的过程中开创、积累、明确了一整套研究古建筑的科学的研究方法，奠定了此后中国建筑历史研究方法的基石。本文是对从中国营造学社至今的中国人对辽代建筑的学术研究历史的总结，对他们的研究对象、研究方法、研究成果、文物保护成果作了回顾。
The remains of architecture in the Liao Dynasty (907-1125 CE) have formed an important part of the architectural remains from mediaeval China on all aspects of scale, grade, quantity and quality of preservation. Ever since the Institute for Research in Chinese Architecture (IRCA) began to survey Liao architecture in 1932, the history of Chinese architecture has entered the phase of scientific research. IRCA created, accumulated, and defined a full set of scientific methods for studying ancient architecture, which set the foundation for later research methods of Chinese history of architecture. This paper summarizes Chinese academic researches on the subject of Liao architecture beginning from IRCA till now, and reviews their research targets, methods, results, and archeological preservation in retrospect.
