Anotations

Scope note:

Meaning “ornate” (or “blossoming”) “end,” huafei 華廢 refers to the covering of the verges, the part of the roof beyond the vertical ridges of a gable end, with roof tiles, whereby the capping tiles (huatou tongwa 華頭㼧瓦 and chongchun banwa 重唇瓪瓦) are aligned to be perpendicular to the vertical ridges and parallel to the roof ridge. The term is found in texts as late as the Song dynasty (960-1279) (Li 2009, 13.2a; 13.4b) and is written huafei 化廢 (lit. “transforming the end”) in some literature (Guo 1368, 1.8b). Modern scholars are generally of the opinion that the tiles aligned perpendicular to the vertical ridges outside the two gables should be called huafei 華廢 (Liang 1983, 256; Chen 2010, 298).
