píngqí (coffered ceilings, <coffered ceilings and coffered ceiling components>, ... Components (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Píngqí 平棊, meaning literally “level game board,” is a kind of ceiling in traditional Chinese architecture. The term is used to describe the ceiling of a palatial type hall (dian 殿) in Yingzao fashi 營造法式 (1103). Modern scholars usually use it to refer to the ceilings of buildings constructed in the Tang, Liao and Song dynasties. In the Ming and Qing dynasties the term pingqi panding 平棋盘顶 was used instead of píngqí. The Chinese character 平 (ping) means flat or level, while the character 棊 (qi) means the game weiqi 圍棋 (“Chinese chess” or “Go”) or, by extension, the orthogonal-grid pattern of a game board. The implication is that pingqi is a kind of ceiling with a chessboard pattern. The term pingqi panding 平棋盘顶 has the same meaning.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 平棊是中国古代建築室內的頂棚做法。「平棊」一詞最早出現於《營造法式》當中。按照《營造法式》的圖樣，平棊僅用於殿堂級別的建築。現代學者一般用它描述唐、遼、宋时期建築內部的頂棚。明清時有少量記載，且說法上出現了變化，稱為「平棋盤頂」。 |
