栱 (gǒng)
1. [名] 立柱和横梁之间成弓形的承重结构 (English: arch). Its construction consists of square wooden blocks interlaced and stacked to form an arch, protruding outward in layers, creating a support structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. It serves both a functional and decorative purpose, and is a key feature of traditional Chinese architectural design. For example:
- 栱子 (also known as "斗栱"): The arch-shaped load-bearing structure between the columns and beams of a building.
- 栱桷: Refers to the combination of 栱 (arch) and 桷 (rafter).
