Lingguang Temple: Great Hero Hall - Ceiling

靈光寺

廣東梅縣

位於廣東省梅州市梅縣陰那山麓,是梅縣現存較為完整的古建築群。唐咸通年間(860~874),僧人潘了拳(自號慚愧)至此開山結茅。後建為寺,稱聖壽寺。明洪武十八年(1385)擴建後改今名。歷代屢有修葺擴建。現為廣東省文物保護單位。
 該寺坐東朝西,占地面積4.2公頃,建築面積4,629平方公尺。沿中軸線上自西向東依序有天王殿、大雄寶殿,南為鐘樓、經堂、諸天堂、地藏殿,北為鼓樓、碑廊、羅漢堂、大悲閣、雷音殿等建築。大雄寶殿面闊三間,進深七間,外觀雖為歇山頂,然實際下檐為懸山頂,上檐是歇山頂,更顯殿宇高大,別具風格。殿內木構斗八藻井由兩層斗栱承托於「井」字形梁架上,每朵五鋪作、雙抄重栱,內有螺旋形圓穹,因狀似菠蘿,俗稱「菠蘿頂」,其工藝高超、結構嚴謹,為明代(1368~1644)建築中的精品;燃香時,香煙會順著螺旋形圓穹盤旋而上,迅速排出,具有科學價值。
 寺內石柱對聯、木匾現保存完好,具有文學性和書法藝術價值。寺前有相傳為僧慚愧手植的千年古柏,二枯二榮,俗稱「生死樹」;枯者枝幹蒼勁,榮者枝繁葉茂,相映成趣,蔚為奇觀。
