Note: Wudianding 廡殿頂 (also wudian 廡殿), literally the roof of a royal hall (Kroll 2015, 481, 86), is usually translated as a “hip roof”. It is a type of roof which consists of a central ridge, four sloped ridges, and four sloped surfaces, and is typically covered in ceramic roof tiles. This form of roof was mostly used for palace or other large-scale buildings. The term wudian is first seen in documents of the Qing dynasty. In the Tang and Song dynasties, this roof type was called si`e 四阿. According to the Yingzao fashi 營造法式, "si`e palatial halls"(si’e diange 四阿殿閣)can also be called "five-ridge halls" (wujidian 五脊殿) as well as "Wu halls" (Wudian 吳殿). The Yingzao fayuan 營造法原, which discusses the architectural practices of the Jiangnan region during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, used the term "siheshe" 四合舍 for this kind of roof (姚 et al. 1986, 37).

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 中國古代建築的一種屋頂形式,指具有一道正脊、四條垂脊、四面坡的屋頂。從唐宋以來的文獻資料看,這種屋頂形式多用於宮殿建築或規模較大的大式建築。廡殿一詞用於指這種屋頂形式的用法最早出現於清代(工部 1773,1)。 唐宋時期這種屋頂形式被稱為“四阿”,宋《營造法式》中又稱“四阿殿閣”為“五脊殿”、“吳殿”。(李 2009, 5)反應了元明以來江南地區建築做法的《營造法原》中稱這種屋頂形式為“四合舍”(姚 et al. 1986, 37)。
