建造背景
明王朝建(jian)立初(chu)(chu)期(qi)，北方的局勢(shi)很不穩定。為了(le)防御蒙古(gu)族統治集團(tuan)復辟，平(ping)山衛指揮僉事陳鏞，從明洪武(wu)二(er)(er)年(nian)到(dao)五(wu)年(nian)，將筑(zhu)土城改筑(zhu)為磚城。為“嚴更漏而(er)窺敵(di)望遠”，報(bao)時報(bao)警，又用修(xiu)城余木，建(jian)造了(le)一座高達百尺的更鼓(gu)樓(lou)(lou)，故初(chu)(chu)名(ming)“余木樓(lou)(lou)”。又因此樓(lou)(lou)有鼓(gu)聲報(bao)時，人們也稱(cheng)之(zhi)為“鼓(gu)樓(lou)(lou)”。明成(cheng)化二(er)(er)十二(er)(er)年(nian)（1486），知府楊能在(zai)維修(xiu)該樓(lou)(lou)時，因地(di)而(er)名(ming)，稱(cheng)之(zhi)為“東(dong)昌(chang)樓(lou)(lou)”。明弘治九(jiu)年(nian)（1496），吏部(bu)考工員外郎李贊(zan)過東(dong)昌(chang)，訪太守金天(tian)錫，共(gong)登此樓(lou)(lou)，對該樓(lou)(lou)贊(zan)嘆不已，“因嘆斯樓(lou)(lou)，天(tian)下所無。雖黃鶴、岳(yue)(yue)陽亦當望拜。乃今百年(nian)矣，尚寞落無名(ming)稱(cheng)，不亦屈乎(hu)？因與天(tian)錫評命之(zhi)曰‘光(guang)岳(yue)(yue)樓(lou)(lou)’，取其近魯有光(guang)于岱岳(yue)(yue)也。”此后，歷代(dai)重修(xiu)碑記中，一直沿用“光(guang)岳(yue)(yue)樓(lou)(lou)”。

第(di)(di)(di)三(san)層(ceng)(ceng)系暗層(ceng)(ceng)，實(shi)際是樓的(de)(de)(de)結構(gou)(gou)層(ceng)(ceng)。利用橫木穿插，梁枋(fang)扣合，將自(zi)下直貫(guan)而(er)上(shang)的(de)(de)(de)12根金柱(zhu)(zhu)和20根檐柱(zhu)(zhu)從上(shang)端(duan)構(gou)(gou)成一個整體，使之(zhi)更(geng)加牢固和穩定，故三(san)層(ceng)(ceng)也是樓的(de)(de)(de)主要(yao)框架。該層(ceng)(ceng)面闊進深皆5間(jian)。金柱(zhu)(zhu)與(yu)檐柱(zhu)(zhu)之(zhi)間(jian)上(shang)端(duan)是梁架，與(yu)第(di)(di)(di)二層(ceng)(ceng)貫(guan)通，所以暗層(ceng)(ceng)實(shi)僅3間(jian)。“當心(xin)間(jian)”即樓之(zhi)正中為(wei)空(kong)井(jing)，四周置欄(lan)桿。柱(zhu)(zhu)頂設有顯著卷剎(cha)。此(ci)例(li)與(yu)宋《營造法式》相(xiang)符。外檐拱(gong)科相(xiang)連、梁柱(zhu)(zhu)相(xiang)交，枋(fang)木相(xiang)穿，結構(gou)(gou)緊湊而(er)疏(shu)密(mi)得體，使建筑學(xue)(xue)、美學(xue)(xue)、力學(xue)(xue)、工藝學(xue)(xue)等在這座樓上(shang)得以充分體現(xian)。第(di)(di)(di)三(san)層(ceng)(ceng)東次間(jian)由北向南上(shang)13級(ji)臺階抵第(di)(di)(di)四層(ceng)(ceng)。
第四層(ceng)(ceng)為(wei)樓(lou)的(de)最高層(ceng)(ceng)，共有(you)柱28根(gen)，面闊進深(shen)皆3間，平面正方形，較其(qi)下諸層(ceng)(ceng)驟然縮小。明(ming)間面闊5.66米，大于其(qi)它各層(ceng)(ceng)明(ming)間，目的(de)是(shi)為(wei)十(shi)字脊(ji)加(jia)(jia)長，提高光岳樓(lou)的(de)重心，使之在外觀上更加(jia)(jia)雄偉。明(ming)間設窗6扇，次間裝冰紋圓窗。中(zhong)間為(wei)空井，四周設欄桿。屋(wu)頂(ding)為(wei)十(shi)字頂(ding)，頂(ding)下正中(zhong)懸垂蓮(lian)柱，以八(ba)道斜脊(ji)分(fen)別置于三架梁及抹角(jiao)梁之上。樓(lou)脊(ji)為(wei)歇山十(shi)字脊(ji)，脊(ji)頂(ding)正中(zhong)裝有(you)一座(zuo)高3米，直徑1.5米的(de)透花鐵葫蘆。
建筑特點
光岳樓雖幾(ji)經重(zhong)修，其建筑構(gou)件，大部分仍是初(chu)(chu)建時的(de)原物(wu)，基本保持了(le)原來的(de)面貌，是明初(chu)(chu)建筑的(de)重(zhong)要遺物(wu)，許多(duo)地方(fang)保留了(le)宋元風格。
以(yi)(yi)形式(shi)而論，磚(zhuan)臺、重檐、十字脊內(nei)部(bu)置(zhi)(zhi)空(kong)井等(deng)，仍(reng)襲宋(song)元樓(lou)閣(ge)遺制(zhi)；細部(bu)以(yi)(yi)柱(zhu)(zhu)礎(chu)言，從明(ming)洪武初所建南京(jing)宮殿已開(kai)始用古鏡式(shi)，此樓(lou)仍(reng)用宋(song)元以(yi)(yi)來的覆盆式(shi)；就結構來講(jiang)，柱(zhu)(zhu)之側角升起，樓(lou)置(zhi)(zhi)暗層(ceng)，內(nei)外等(deng)高雙槽(cao)柱(zhu)(zhu)列，斗拱疏朗配置(zhi)(zhi)，以(yi)(yi)及柱(zhu)(zhu)頭科(ke)斗口未(wei)加寬等(deng)，也(ye)都上承唐宋(song)以(yi)(yi)來的傳統做法，同時也(ye)與其它明(ming)初建筑有若(ruo)干相似之處，開(kai)“官式(shi)”建筑之始。
該樓(lou)采(cai)(cai)用(yong)的(de)是主(zhu)體(ti)結構(gou)(gou)與(yu)附加(jia)結構(gou)(gou)相(xiang)結合的(de)方(fang)法，內(nei)以32根通(tong)天直(zhi)上的(de)內(nei)外槽柱構(gou)(gou)成(cheng)樓(lou)的(de)主(zhu)體(ti)，外以一(yi)樓(lou)圍(wei)廊和(he)二樓(lou)平座(zuo)構(gou)(gou)成(cheng)樓(lou)的(de)保護層(ceng)(ceng)。外層(ceng)(ceng)結構(gou)(gou)雖易損壞，也易維(wei)修更換。圍(wei)廊和(he)平座(zuo)雖已重修多次，而(er)主(zhu)體(ti)結構(gou)(gou)卻(que)一(yi)直(zhi)未動過(guo)。第二層(ceng)(ceng)以上中央是空井(jing)，前(qian)后(hou)內(nei)柱無(wu)法用(yong)梁(liang)穿越，因而(er)采(cai)(cai)用(yong)了(le)碩大抹角梁(liang)，井(jing)字梁(liang)，層(ceng)(ceng)層(ceng)(ceng)環繞疊架，前(qian)后(hou)左右(you)搭(da)連(lian)構(gou)(gou)結。通(tong)過(guo)木(mu)(mu)疊木(mu)(mu)、木(mu)(mu)扣(kou)木(mu)(mu)、木(mu)(mu)跨木(mu)(mu)、木(mu)(mu)連(lian)木(mu)(mu)，形成(cheng)一(yi)個牢(lao)固穩定的(de)整體(ti)。而(er)且樓(lou)的(de)形體(ti)統一(yi)而(er)有變化，有著許多微妙獨到之處(chu)。四(si)層(ceng)(ceng)檐(yan)口的(de)處(chu)理各不相(xiang)同(tong)。一(yi)層(ceng)(ceng)宏(hong)敞(chang)，二層(ceng)(ceng)低下，三層(ceng)(ceng)深遠，四(si)層(ceng)(ceng)舒展(zhan)，整個形體(ti)避(bi)免(mian)了(le)機械式(shi)斜切直(zhi)線，使(shi)人(ren)感到高大而(er)秀麗。
附屬文物
