huábiǎo (monumental pillars, <monuments by form>, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Meaning, literally, illustrious marker or memorial (Kroll 2015, 167, 23), huabiao originated as wooden or stone pillars whose function was to show directions or display information. Later, huabiao also helped emphasize the central axis or the central portion of an architectural complex.According to earlier texts quoted by the Tang commentator Sima Zhen (司馬貞, 679-732) in his Shiji suoyin 史記索隱, a huabiao (or a pair of huabiao) was a type of signpost or guidepost with a crosspiece joined through the upper part of the pillar. He quoted Cui Bao 崔豹 (ca. 381-450) who suggested that because of similarities in pronunciation in the Chen and Chu regions, huabiao 華表 may have also been written "huanbiao 桓表" or "hebiao 和表" (Sima 1959, 10.423-424; Cui 1936). Huabiao-like structures can be seen in visual material, especially in Song and Yuan paintings, such as Zhang Zeduan's "Jinmingchi zhengbiao tu 金明池爭標圖" and Wang Zhengpeng's "Longchi jingdu tujuan 龍池競渡圖卷," where a characteristic feature was a crosspiece joined through the upper part of the pillar. After the Song dynasty, we also begin to see crouching animal sculptures on the top of huabiao.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 華表最早是具有指示方向，標識信息，標記地點等功能的木柱或者石柱，而後還起到了在建築群中强調主要軸綫，突出建築主體部分的作用。由南朝與唐人所引早期文獻判斷，“華”與“桓”、“和”可能在陈楚之地因发音相近而被混用，華表即柱頂部有木貫穿木柱的“桓表”（司馬 1959，10. 423-424）。這一形象在宋元繪畫中也有所見（如張擇端的《金明池爭標圖》，王振鵬的《龍池競渡圖卷》等）。此後華表始終保持了柱頂部有贯穿柱身的板状构件的基本特征。宋及以後的華表頂部還有蹲獸，常在相關場合成對或四植對稱放置。 |
