Heavy temple

Your current location is: Home > Yinshang > Heavy temple

The roof of the building is the top of the temple. It is magnificent and majestic. The top of the temple is also called the four atops. It is the five-ridged and four-slope type of the "four out of the water", also called the five-ridged temple. The ceiling of the temple consists of a rectangular plane with a width greater than the depth. The intersection of the front and rear slopes is a positive ridge.


There are four vertical ridges on the left and right sides, which are respectively placed at one end of the ridge. The top of the temple is under the roof of the temple, and there are short squats. Each corner has a short ridge, a total of nine ridges. As the high-grade roof form of ancient Chinese architecture, the temple roof is often used in royal buildings as well as large monasteries and palaces. During the Qing Dynasty, the temple roof could only be used for the royal and Confucius palaces, and the top of the temple was honored. However, the dwellings in the coastal areas of eastern Fujian will also use the gentle roof of the temple because of the need to protect the wind.
