Extended data:

There are hanging animals on the vertical ridge as decorations. Among them, the hanging animals of the rest of the mountain are at the lower end of the vertical ridge, and the rest are at the lower part of the middle of the vertical ridge. The grades of rolling shed, hanging mountain and hard mountain are low, so it is not necessary to place hanging animals and squatting animals.

The common vertical ridges in northern China are bell ridge, flood ridge and simple tile ridge. For vertical ridges, arrange the ridges with clocks. When the gable is changed into a brick eaves with water cover, the vertical ridge is called the water cover ridge. The vertical ridges in the south are similar to those in the north, but the structure is relatively simplified.
