Record Type: concept
xīnjiān (bays (building divisions), building divisions, ... Components (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Literally “heart” or “central” “bay” (Kroll 2015, 507; 196; Steinhardt 1991, 27-50). According to the Yingzao fashi, xinjian (also called dangxinjian 當心間) refers to the central bay of a building, divided longitudinally by the two central front pillars (pingzhu 平柱) and covering the entire depth (YZFS 5.7a). Occasionally, it may also refer to the unit of space between these two pillars (YZFS 4.9a-b;5.4b). According to the Yingzao fashi, there should only be one xinjian in any given building.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 心間 (亦作當心間),在《營造法式》中指位于建築中央,以前檐中心二柱(平柱)為界,包含整個進深的基本單元 (李 2009,5.7a)。也存在僅指前檐二柱之間的情況 (李 2009, 4.9a-b;5.4b)。從 《營造法式》的語境看,一座建築物的“心間(當心間)”有且僅有一個。
