Note: Literally meaning “solid” or “rigid” mountain peak, yingshan is a technical term used to describe a traditional Chinese gable roof, in which the eaves of the gable are flush with the surface of the wall, in contrast to one where the eaves extend past the wall plane on the gable end (see xuanshan). The term yingshan first appeared in the literature of the Qing dynasty. In the narrowest sense, yingshan refers to a roof that has front and rear slopes, in which the purlins are sealed within the walls of the gable ends (Liang 2006, 84; Yao 1986, 40). More broadly, yingshan is regularly used to refer to a gable roof in which the top of the gable ends extend to the eaves tiles or, in some cases, can even extend above the level of the roof.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 硬山是中國傳統建築的一種屋頂形式。“硬山”一詞最早出現在清代文獻中。狹義指前後兩坡,檁木屋架封砌於山牆之內,屋面不挑出山牆,且兩側山牆同屋面齊平的屋頂形式(梁 2006,84;姚 1986,40);廣義可指屋面不挑出山牆,兩側山牆直上與屋面平齊或高於屋面的兩坡屋頂。
