石柱也,對樹於宮門甬道側 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
華表者,石柱也,對樹於宮門甬道側,亦名神道柱、石望柱。
華表形制,下以座承之,座式或須彌、或蓮花,座上立柱聳然,佈以雲紋,龍盤其上,柱端雲板橫焉,柱頂置盤,號曰「承露」,盤中神獸踞之。座方而盤圓,以應「天圓地方」也。其頂之神獸,其名曰「犼」,又細分,居宮門內者,其首望宮內,號曰「望君出」,意謂諫君王不可留戀後宮;居外者,望宮外,號曰「望君歸」,諫以莫戀雲遊,回朝理政者也。
考華表之傳承,久矣。上古,先民立柱以示方位,其名為桓、表,又云堯舜時,立謗木以納諫,今之雲板是也。亦有樂器、圭表之說,不一而足。今名於世者,天安門前之表也,其西者毀於庚子兵火,雖巧匠補綴,創痕宛然。
