Note

    Dandou zhiti is a type of bracket set (dougong 枓栱) without bracket arms projecting from the primary building plane (huagong 華栱; Li 2009, 19.9b; 19.11a). As an architectural term, it is only found in Yingzao Fashi《營造法式》(1103). It only uses one bearing block (dou ) and a timu 替木 to support a purlin or tie beam, linking the pillar, beam, and purlin together (Pan and He 2005, 84). The only surviving example known is in the Feiliang 飛梁 of the Jin Shrines 晉祠 in Taiyuan, Shanxi, thought to date to the 11th century.3

    單枓隻替是一種不出跳枓栱,現今寫作单斗只替(李 2009,19.9b;19.11a),指仅用一隻枓和一隻替木承托檩,將、檁結合起來(潘和何 2005, 84)。 單枓隻替作爲建築術語覲見於《營造法式》。實物可見太原晉祠北宋魚沼飛梁3
