Record Type: concept
zhāqiān (tie beams, horizontal roof frame components, ... Components (hierarchy name))

 

Note: According to the Yingzao fashi, zhaqian refers to cross beams that span one rafter (Liang 1983, 142). Zhaqian usually only serves to connect two members, but is not load-bearing. In extant buildings in southeast China, a similar component--called shuiliang 水梁 in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, shumu 束木 in southern Fujian, and shuishu 水束 in Guangdong--structurally combines zhaqian, chashou 叉手, and tuojiao 托腳.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 劄牽為《營造法式》(1103)中的建築術語,指長一椽的梁,通常僅起聯繫作用而不荷重(梁 1983,142)。在中國東南地區的建筑实例中,也有类似的,結合劄牽、叉手與托腳結構作用的構件,稱為水梁(江浙)、束木(閩南)、水束(廣府)等。
