The upper and lower columns of each floor are not connected, and the structural handover mode is complicated. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the pavilion structure has successively formed a long column with each layer of wooden columns, and intersected with the beams to form an overall frame, which is called the through-column type. In addition, there are other variations of the pavilion structure.
