Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Wenshou. Hall Of Preserving Harmony, Beijing
The number of wenshou (zoomorphs) on the roof indicates the importance of the building; this hall includes all nine "sons of the dragon" between the chicken and the qilin. The roof animals are apotropaic, protecting against evils such as fire, windstorms, and hail. |
