It is a common traditional architectural practice, which is mainly used to prevent rainwater from flowing into the room and prolong the service life of window frames.

1, cornice refers to the cornice, that is, the eaves that are picked out outward, which can block the sun and rain and prevent them from falling directly on the windowsill.

2, two oblique refers to the two oblique beams under the cornice, in order to spread the weight of the cornice to the whole window frame, so as to avoid deformation of the window frame.

3. Three drops of water refer to the drip tiles carved or pasted on these three inclined beams, which are used to guide rainwater to flow down the inclined beams, thus prolonging the service life of the window frame.
