Note

    Pingbanfang is a tie beam with a rectilinear section that is placed on top of the pillar top tie beam (e’fang 額枋) to support dougong 斗栱 (Liang 1981, 77). The term pingbanfang is equivalent to the Song dynasty term pupaifang and is most commonly found in the Gongcheng zuofa and other books published in the Qing dynasty. Architectural historians use this term to describe buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. 2

    平板枋為置於額枋之上、承接斗栱的枋類構件(梁思成 1981,77)。學者通常認為其等同於《營造法式》中的普拍方。主要見於清工部《工程做法》,也見用於《圓明園內工則例》、《地宮作法》和《揚州畫舫錄》等清代官式建築和城市營造技術的記載。當代建築史學者用此類術語描述清代建築物,有時候也會用平板枋來描述明代建築物。2
