Note: Literally meaning “massed [into a] point” (Kroll 2015, 68; 194) cuanjian is a form of traditional Chinese roof that meets at the top to form a spire. The term cuanjian first appeared in the literature of the Qing dynasty, and is characterized by a steep roof which can have several vertical ridges (in a polygonal plan) or no ridges (in a circular plan) but which comes together at the top in a point and is then covered with a tapered, jewel-shaped finial (baoding 寶頂).
