Note: Angled timber member used in corbel bracket sets and placed perpendicular to the building plane. Can be descending (下昂 xia'ang), where the tip extends downward through the bracket set to the exterior of the building; or ascending (上昂 shang'ang), where it extends from the building plane upward, usually to support the interior building frame. Level timbers placed perpendicular to the building plane include huagong 華栱 and shuatou 耍頭. From the Song and Jin dynasties (10th-13th centuries), we see buildings where 華栱 huagong were made to look like xiaang 下昂 and shuatou 耍頭. These are sometimes called pretend ang (假昂 jia'ang), and slanted bracket arm-shaped shuatou (angxing shuatou 昂形耍頭).

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 铺作中垂直于屋身方向的斜向构件。可以是下昂，用于外跳，昂身穿过铺作向外伸出，昂嘴向下倾斜；或上昂，常用于里跳，向上支撑内部结构。铺作中垂直于屋身方向的水平出跳构件有华栱和耍头。宋金以后，有时华栱或耍头会在外跳做成昂的形状，称为假昂，及昂形耍头. |
