What's the difference between cornices and upturned corners?

The difference between these two architectural styles lies in the difference in shape and structure.

1, different shapes: cornice is a shape form of roof, which is mainly shaped by rafters, and the rafters are slightly upturned, and the eaves form an upward trend. The upturned corners are the four corners of the building outward, firmly "upturned", like Dapeng spreading its wings.

2, the structure is different: the structure of the cornice is relatively simple, mainly relying on the shape of the rafters to form a lifting trend. The structure of warping angle is complex, which requires many members such as beams, columns and rafters.
