Subject
Bracket system; wooden structure
Description
This dougong is in the main hall of Jinci which has dual role of structure and decoration.
The temple is seven bay, six depth building, Its rooftop is gable and hip roof with multiple eaves covering with a yellow-green glazed tile and the temple is 19 meters high. The corridor around the hall and the two front porches are extremely spacious. The side of the main hall rises obviously, giving a sense of stability. The temple structure is single-slot, that is, there is a row of inner pillars. All the walls of the hall except the front porch are deep cloisters, forming a squat. Inside and outside the hall, a "reduction column method" was used to support the roof beams with columns and pillars to expand the space inside the temple. The House of Our Lady basically conforms to the Customization of the "Treatise on Architectural Methods" and shows the architectural style and aesthetic consciousness of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is a national treasure for our country.
