WHAT DOES PAGODA MEAN IN POLISH?

Pagoda

Pagoda

Pagoda - in the Buddhist sacred architecture in the Far East a kind of multi-storey tower, used to store relics. It is one of the buildings in the Buddhist monastery complex, apart from other buildings such as a meeting room, a library, etc. It is derived from the Indian stupa, but architecturally more than the ancient Chinese observatory. The ultimate form of Chinese pagodas has been the tradition of erecting multi-storey buildings of lou type, already known in antiquity, although over the centuries pagodas have been present in many types and in varied architectural forms. The individual floors of the pagoda are covered with separate roofs, usually with raised corners. Wood and even bronze, iron or porcelain were used in China. The striking feature of Chinese buildings is the imitation of wooden architectural forms also in stone pagodas. The most typical of China are the brick pagodas. Both dry and fired brick piles were erected. Glazed brick was used for the face.

Pagoda – w buddyjskiej architekturze sakralnej na Dalekim Wschodzie rodzaj wielokondygnacyjnej wieży, służącej do przechowywania relikwii. Stanowi jeden z budynków znajdujących się w zespole klasztoru buddyjskiego, oprócz innych budowli, takich jak sala zebrań, biblioteka itd. Wywodzi się pod względem funkcji od indyjskiej stupy, lecz architektonicznie bardziej od starożytnych chińskich wież obserwacyjnych. Na ostateczną formę pagód chińskich wpłynęła tradycja wznoszenia wielokondygnacyjnych budowli typu lou, znanych już w starożytności, choć na przestrzeni wieków pagody występowały w wielu typach i o zróżnicowanych formach architektonicznych. Poszczególne kondygnacje pagody są kryte odrębnymi dachami najczęściej z narożnikami podgiętymi ku górze. Jako materiału do budowy w dawnych Chinach używano drewna, a nawet brązu, żelaza czy porcelany. Uderzającą cechą budowli chińskich jest naśladowanie form architektury drewnianej również w pagodach kamiennych. Najbardziej typowe dla Chin są jednak pagody ceglane. Wznoszono pagody zarówno z cegły suszonej, jak i wypalanej. Cegła glazurowana stosowana była do oblicówki.
