Historically, lou as a type of traditional architecture usually designates a building elevated either by means of multiple stories or man-made or natural platforms. The Eastern Han dynasty (25-220 CE) classic Shuowen jiezi defines lou as a structure with a layered wu 屋 (a roof, or a roofed structure). ]]></dc:description></metadata>
