What does the annual column crown mean?

Chronicle refers to heavenly stems and earthly branches in the scientific name, which is a method of recording time with Yin-Yang and Five Elements. The canopy refers to the decoration on the roof of an ancient building, which represents dignity and power.

In ancient architecture, the canopy is a decoration representing dignity and power, which usually only appears on the roofs of palaces, temples and other authoritative places. Nianzhu, as a combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches, is also an important basis for concepts such as Zodiac, Constellation and Five Elements, similar to concepts such as dignity and power. Therefore, in some cultures, the canopy is associated with Nianzhu, representing the pursuit of luxury, power and luck.

Although Gai Hua is rare in modern architecture, Nianzhu, as a cultural tradition of timing and fortune telling, is widely used in zodiac, naming and fortune telling, and has become an indispensable part of folk culture. On the other hand, through trademarks, mascots and other forms of visualization, Gai Hua has become a unique symbol in business culture, representing success, honor and authority.
