This dissertation examines disaster-responsive yasheng (厭勝) devices in East Asian architectural spaces, with a particular focus on their spatial logic, mechanisms of formation, and processes of cultural transformation. Moving beyond existing studies that primarily rely on iconographic comparison or object-based classification, this study proposes a structural analytical framework that understands these devices as part of a relational chain of “disaster – spatial node – material device – order-making.”
The research focuses on two major types of architectural devices: water-controlling stone beasts installed at bridges and hydraulic nodes, and fire-averting roof ornaments positioned along roof ridges in palatial and religious architecture. China and Korea are treated as the primary comparative units, with Japan serving as a supplementary reference. Methodologically, the study integrates textual analysis, morphological comparison, spatial node analysis, and institutional contextualization within a broader East Asian comparative perspective.
The study demonstrates that disaster-responsive yasheng devices are not merely symbolic artifacts or decorative elements, but spatial apparatuses that materialize risk and anchor it at critical nodes, thereby stabilizing order through visible and durable configurations. Accordingly, the identification and interpretation of such objects should prioritize spatial positioning, hazard orientation, symbolic logic, and institutional context, rather than relying on later nomenclature or visual resemblance. This leads to the formulation of a “node-first” analytical principle.
Furthermore, this dissertation argues that these devices do not persist through the preservation of their original meanings. Instead, they undergo structural reorganization as they are transmitted and reinterpreted across regions and historical contexts. Two major pathways of transformation are identified: “nominal misrecognition” and “symbolic expansion.” In the case of bridge-related water-control stone beasts, the weakening of their original functional context leads to their reinterpretation within familiar mythological systems such as Tianlu or Haechi, resulting in shifts in naming and obscuration of function. In contrast, roof-based fire-averting devices retain their underlying disaster-preventive structure while accumulating additional layers of meaning, including ritual hierarchy, architectural authority, and political symbolism. Despite their apparent differences, both pathways share a common mechanism in which textual transmission, morphological analogy, institutional space, and visual reproduction jointly re-code the meaning of objects.
From a comparative East Asian perspective, China, Korea, and Japan share a homologous deep structure characterized by the integration of disaster response, spatial boundary management, and symbolic order-making. However, they diverge significantly in their historical trajectories. China is marked by the expansion of object typologies and functional genealogies; Korea by the dense symbolic reorganization within highly institutionalized palace and temple spaces; and Japan by a tendency toward visual intensification and explicit expressions of authority in selected cases. This suggests that East Asian commonality lies not in the uniformity of objects, but in a shared capacity to integrate disaster, space, and symbolic order through material devices, while allowing for regionally differentiated realizations.
In conclusion, this study proposes a comprehensive analytical model for understanding the formation, spatial deployment, transmission, and transformation of disaster-responsive yasheng devices in East Asia. By shifting the focus from object identification to structural mechanisms, it provides a new theoretical framework for interpreting the relationship between disaster perception, spatial order, and cultural reproduction in traditional architectural contexts.
