Anotations

Scope note:

Literally, wo 窩 refers to a recessed shelter or safe hiding place and pu 鋪 can refer to a bed, and perhaps by extension, an inn or station, such as a postal station. In the Tang dynasty (618-907) pu 鋪 was associated with military security, meaning “a place for guards”. As a compound architectural term, wopu usually refers to a simple military facility where soldiers could reside and store equipment. Wopu were mostly built on city walls, but also on riverbanks, campsites, and other areas where temporary quarters were needed.
