The difference between a temple, a Xie, a suspended roof, a hard roof and a pyramid roof.

1, Daidian roof: also known as Wujitang and Sijiaping, it is a roof with five ridges and four slopes, four ridges and four slopes. The roof of Wuji Hall can be divided into single eaves and double eaves, which is the roof style of ancient buildings in China, Japan and South Korea.

2. Xieshan has nine ridges, that is, one positive ridge, four vertical ridges and four protective ridges, so it is also called nine ridges. Because the two ends of the roof are broken once, the eaves are divided into vertical ridges and slope protection, which seems to have a resting place, so it is called Xie Xishan.

3. Suspended hilltop: It is a double-slope hilltop, which is the most common form in general buildings in China. It is characterized by overhanging eaves outside the gables (also known as hanging mountains or climbing mountains). Generally speaking, there is a rolling shed with or without ridges on the top of the mountain. The top of the gable can be decorated with different decorations.

The top of the mountain is the top of the temple, with two slopes, five ridges and two slopes. Gables on both sides are recessed into the hall roof, so that the ends of top purlins protrude out of the wall and are nailed with slats.

4. Hard hilltop: Double-slope roof, which is divided into two slopes by the transverse ridge in the middle. The gables on both sides are flush or higher than the roof (if higher than the roof, it is called a sealed volcanic wall). Because the eaves are not higher than gables, they are called hard mountains. The roof is divided into front and back slopes by the middle transverse ridge, and the left and right gables are flush or higher than the roof.

The hard roof has five ridges, two slopes and two slopes. It is characterized by straight ridges and four vertical ridges, forming two roof slopes. Gables are built on the left and right sides, and many bricks and stones rise from the roof.

5. Pyramid roof, that is, pointed roof, is a kind of roof form of ancient architecture in China, Japan and Korea. Its characteristics are: the roof is conical, without straight ridge, and the top is concentrated in one point, that is, the treasure top.

Second, different grades and specifications.

1, Ding Dian is the most advanced roof style in ancient architecture.

2. As far as specifications are concerned, Xie Dingshan is second only to Ding Dian.

3. The suspended ceiling is lower than the temple roof and balding, only higher than the hard roof.

4. Hard hilltops are of low grade, and only blue tiles can be used, not tube tiles and glazed tiles.

5. Pyramid-shaped roofs have high specifications and are often used in palaces, pavilions and towers in temples.

Third, the use is different.

1, the top of the hall is generally used in the Forbidden City and the main hall. Can be used with single eaves, especially double eaves, such as the Hall of Supreme Harmony in Beijing.

2. From the specification point of view, the sloping roof is second only to the balcony roof, which can only be used in the official residence of officials above grade five in ancient times and will be used in residential houses in the future.

3. Suspended mountains are mostly used in folk buildings and secondary buildings, such as cabinets, temples and supporting halls. In the south, suspended mountains are often used to prevent rain.

4. Hard hilltops are mainly used for auxiliary buildings and folk buildings. Hard hilltops are good for wind and fire prevention. Most houses in the north are hard mountains.

5, often used in pavilions. In Japan, tea rooms often use it.
