Conclusions
This paper defines the arrangement plans characteristics of Buddhist temples
in Inner Mongolia by clarifying the architectural grade and building category of 30
well preserved old Buddhist temples in the whole region of Inner Mongolia and
analyzing their architectural forms of arrangement plan.
Results-wise, this article suggests that these temples could be divided into
three levels: Province Level, League Level, and Banner Level based on the social
background of the history time and the construction background of each temple.
Furthermore, 56 kinds of temple buildings among these 30 temples were divided
into three types according to their functions. Lastly, the arrangement plan has been
modeled, which is also classified into different types. In accordance with the main
buildings among the 56 classifications, the arrangement form of the temple has
shown to be divided into Integrated Type and Separated Type. Importantly,
Integrated Type could be divided into more detailed types like Symmetric Type
and Asymmetric Type. And considering the level of temples, these temples are
divided into seven types, and the arrangement plan of various types of these
temples is compared and analyzed. The characteristic arrangement plans of these
temples in different regions have been found through a comparative analysis of
each level's temple arrangement of various types. It was analyzed in detail the
characteristic of the arrangement plans of a wide variety of Inner Mongolia
temples and systematically clarified the characteristics of the arrangement plans of
Buddhist temple architecture in Inner Mongolia. The summary is as follows.
Among the temples, the most prestigious Province Level temples are in the
middle region, the political center of Mongolia. Moreover, these temple buildings
are built and arranged according to the arrangement plan of the Han Buddhist
temple style.
The League Level temples and the Banner level temples are dispersed in the
eastern, middle, and western regions, and three types of temples, Integrated/
Symmetric, Integrated/Asymmetric, and Separated, can be confirmed, and the
arrangement plans differ greatly for each type. Even if the type is basically the
