Chinese imperial roof decoration or roof<br />
charms or roof-figures was only allowed on<br />
official buildings of the empire. Chinese<br />
roofs are typically of the hip roof type, with<br />
small gables. Variant versions are still<br />
widespread in Chinese temples and has<br />
spread to the rest of East Asia and parts of Southeast Asia.<br />
In traditional Chinese architecture, every facet of a building was decorated using<br />
various materials and techniques. Simple ceiling ornamentations in ordinary buildings<br />
were made of wooden strips and covered with paper. More decorative was the lattice<br />
ceiling, constructed of woven wooden strips or sorghum stems fastened to the beams.<br />
Because of the intricacy of its ornamentation, elaborate cupolas were reserved <strong>for</strong> the<br />
ceilings of the most important structures such as tombs and altars, although it is not<br />
clear what the spiritual beliefs of the early Chinese were, as alters appear to have<br />
served as burial sites.<br />
In traditional Chinese architecture roofs and ceiling, like the other structural elements,<br />
were constructed without nails, the layered pieces of the ceiling are held together by<br />
interlocking bracket sets .Elaborate wooden coffers bordered by a round, square, or<br />
polygon frame with its brackets projecting inward and upward from its base were used<br />
around the 7th century. Deeply recessed panels shaped like a well (square at the base<br />
with a rounded top) were fitted into the ceiling's wooden framework. The center panel<br />
of the ceiling was decorated with water lilies or other water plants.<br />
