What's the difference in appearance between a suspended mountain top and a hard mountain top?

The difference between suspended hilltops and hard hilltops:

They are all composed of one positive ridge and four vertical ridges, but the difference is that the lateral top part of the hard-top building is not hanging out of the gable like the building hanging from the top of the mountain, but flush with the gable.

Hard peak has the lowest building grade, which is lower than Dingdian, Xieding Mountain and Hangding Mountain. According to the regulations of the Qing dynasty, the main hall of officials and people below six grades can only be hung on the top of the mountain or on the hard top of the mountain. In addition, the attached hall or wing of the palace Buddhist temple often uses hard hilltops.

First, hard mountain and hanging mountain are two sloping roofs.

1. There are no wooden purlins on the walls of the hard mountain, which is called "closing the eaves of the mountain", also called "picking the mountain" or "building two ends". Its characteristic is that the purlin is exposed outside the gable, that is, the so-called "protrusion", and the roof of the hanging mountain extends all the way outside the gable.

2. The suspended peak building is characterized by one positive ridge and four vertical ridges, two slopes, and the side roof is partially suspended outside the gable, so it is called suspended peak. In terms of rank, it is second only to Dingdian and sloping peak buildings. With the spread of Buddhist culture, the buildings hanging on the top of the mountain spread to Japan, the Korean Peninsula and Vietnam.

Second, the hard peak building is very similar to the suspended peak building.

1, the hard peak appeared late, and it was not recorded in Architectural Style in Song Dynasty. Only with the extensive use of masonry buildings in Ming and Qing dynasties, hard hilltops began to be widely used. Compared with suspended hilltops, hard hilltops have the characteristics of wind and fire prevention, while suspended hilltops have the characteristics of rain and ventilation. Therefore, hard mountains are mostly used in northern dwellings, and hanging mountains are mostly used in the south.

Extended data:

Hard roof, that is, hard roof, is one of the traditional double-slope roofs in China.

The gables on both sides of the house are flush with or slightly higher than the roof. The roof is divided into front and back slopes with the middle transverse ridge as the boundary, and the left and right gables are either flush with or higher than the roof. The high gable is called the sealed volcanic wall, and its main function is to prevent the fire from spreading along the house when it happens. However, from the appearance, it is also quite stylish. Commonly used in traditional residential buildings in China.

Suspended mountain top is a kind of double-sided slope top, and it is also a common building in China.

The most common form. It is characterized by the eaves hanging over the gables. Suspended hilltops are only used for folk buildings in China. The specifications are finally at Diandian and Xieding Peak. Whether it is physical data or indirect data, all the more important buildings are not hung on the top of the mountain.
