Main Hall, Yanfu Temple, Wuyi, Zhejiang 浙江武义延福寺大殿
The Yanfu Temple sits in a mountain village in Wuyi County, Zhejiang. Its main hall, a single-eaved hip-and-gable building of the Yuan dynasty, is the earliest Yuan timber building in Zhejiang and a rare Yuan survival in Jiangnan. By the Yuan, bracket sets had shrunk and many “ang” members were purely decorative; the frame and brackets of this hall still keep many Song features, which makes it an important example of Yuan timber building in the south.
