Roof structure in Jing-Fu Temple--Double-eaved roof hoisted by「four-downcast pillars」
Jing-Fu Temple is the large God Kai-Chang worshipping temple made of wood structure in Taiwan. The front chamber and state chamber all built with Double-eaved roofs hoisted by 「 four-downcast pillars」.（A temple with two 4-downcast pillar structure is rarely seen in Taiwan！） The temple architectural lines and styles are the most splendid in Taiwan. |
Four-downcasts pillars
The structure composed of a "flush gable roof" standing over the "gable and hip roof" looks as if there are 2 roofs but actually only 1 roof (with only 4 pillars). It is thus called simulating 4 hoisting whose structure makes the temple looking more gorgeous and sophisticated. |
