Note: Meaning literally interrupted or halted mountain (peak) (Kroll 2015, 503, 399), in an architectural context xieshan 歇山 is a form of traditional Chinese gabled roof with four ridges (two per side) framing the gable, above a lower hip roof with an additional four ridges above four corner beams supporting the hip (Qing gongbu 1773, 54.1b). Sometimes it is written as xieshan ding 歇山頂 (anonymous 1644-1911, 29a). The term is first seen in Qing dynasty texts and was only used for palace or other large-scale buildings. In modern research, xieshan also describes a roof form without obvious ridges but with four slopes and two gables in vernacular architecture.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... “歇山”為中國古代建築屋頂形式的一種，最早出現在清代文獻中，用於描述殿閣大式建築，基本特征是由四個坡面和兩個山面組成的屋頂形式 ；通常有一道正脊、四條垂脊、四條戧脊；但若為卷棚式歇山則無明顯正脊。有時也寫作歇山頂。現代研究中也將民居中使用的，不設屋脊，但具有四個坡面和兩個山面的屋頂形式稱為歇山。歇山的概念從殿閣大式建築擴展到民間建築。 |
