金門城古城牆遺址調查研究

在經過「金門城古城牆遺址調查」第一期的研究之後,我們確知金門城起源於明洪武二十年(1387年)守禦千戶所之創建,歷永樂十五年(1417年)的增建確立城牆的形制及規模,明中葉嚇阻來自海上的倭寇,明鄭時期又是抗清驅荷的基地,魯王曾避禍於這個閩南小島的城堡。這些歷史,都說明了清代以前金門城作為軍政經中心的關鍵角色。

第一期的研究中,我們一方面指明了金門城牆在1949年後的戰地政務時期,牆垣磉石被國軍移去做工事,使得目前僅存夯土層的景況,並詳細加以調查、測繪與記錄;一方面進行了金門城現有觀光行為之調查,以作為了解城牆重建、修護之效益與可行性;一方面也以保存良好之福建惠安崇武千戶所城為參考,初步掌握了同時期興建之千戶所城城牆之做法。

第二期的研究計畫,主要是延續第一期的成果,在考據的基礎上,進一步針對明清時期金門城的城市空間與城牆,提出相關的復原;再者,進行金門城各牆段的保存、修護、展示方式之研擬,提出規劃可行性的構想與方案,作為下一階段相關工程的準則與依據;最後,收集相關資料或進行田野調查,探尋中國浙、閩、粵地區沿海明代衛所城的保存情況,通過這些研究,確立金門城的價值。

Abstract

After the project of the monument of Kinmencheng’s (Kinmen Castle, Quemoy Castle)old wall(part I), we have known the total history of the walled city: She originated from the Defense Castle of One Thousand Soldiers in 1387, and to enlarged the walled city scale in 1417. The castle had resisted the Japanese sea rover during 16th century, and had been the military site of Konxign during 17th century. Kinmencheng was the military, political and economical center before Ching(Qing) dynasty.

In the project part I, one hand we show clearly the situation of old wall that stones was moved by KMT army in 1949, and to record, photograph and draw the monument of old wall. The other hand, we survey the Chung-wu Castle of Huei-an Fuijiang that the same as the Kinmencheng in the city scale and constructional time. These materials could be an important reference for the restoration of Kinmencheng in future.

The project part II will follow the achievement of part I, and to study the rehabilitation of the walled city. And then we will provide the concept of the preservation, restoration and exhibition. Simultaneously, we will collect the materials or do field work about the military castle of coastal area of China during Ming dynasty. Finally, we could redefine the historic and cultural value of Kinmencheng depending on the research.
