Note: Shaliangtou 厦兩頭, usually understood as “with a mansion on either end”(Kroll 492, 458), only appears as a technical term of architecture in the literature of the Tang and Song dynasties. Here it refers to a roof form used on a tingtang 廳堂 (mansion hall) building. It is similar to the xieshan roof in the Qing dynasty, which is commonly translated as “hip-gable” or “hip-and-gable” roof, or a roof composed of four slopes and two gables in which corner beams extend at a 45 degree angle to support eaves sheltering the corner of the building. In the Tang dynasty, only officials of the fifth rank or above were allowed to use shaliangtou in their houses. The same form of roof used in diantang 殿堂 buildings is called jiujidian 九脊殿 (nine-ridged hall) (Tianyige Musuem 2006, 344).

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... “厦兩頭” 僅出現在唐宋時期的文獻中,是一種用於廳堂建築的,類似於清代歇山頂 的屋頂做法,即由四個坡面和兩個山面組成,四角由角梁形成轉角。在唐代,“厦兩頭”僅允許五品以上官員使用(天一閣 2006, 344)。“厦兩頭”用於殿閣建築則稱為“九脊殿” (Li 2009, 5.6a)。
