Based on its use in this text, we can conclude that puzuo is a method whereby small components are layered one on top of another extending outward in corbelled steps, usually to support the weight of a roof or balcony. The number of puzuo is measured by the number of layers. In the Yingzao fashi the term puzuo also used to describe a structural unit formed by this practice, and in this situation it is similar to dougong 斗拱. ]]></note></mads>
