Thank you! The "corridor" is an open rain-shelter building, which is actually an extension of the "pavilion". It is the most common form in ancient buildings or garden buildings in my country. "Corridor" is not only divided into "through-mountain (or mountain) corridor" and "super-hand corridor", but can also be divided into different shapes such as "slope corridor" and "long corridor". For example: my country's royal gardens, the "corridor" in the Summer Palace in Beijing, is 728M long. There are more than 14,000 color paintings on the beams with the content of various different stories in ancient my country. The shape and content are rare in the world.

What is the difference between the "Crossing Mountain Veranda" and the "Super Hand Veranda" in "A Dream of Red Mansions"?

In terms of shape, there is no difference between these two types of verandahs, and they are mainly distinguished by the construction parts. The main rooms of ancient Chinese buildings all face north and south. The "Super Hand Veranda" is built on the east and west sides of the front and back rows of the main house, forming an encircling pattern. If there are two main houses in the east and west rows, with doors opening on the west and east gables respectively, and then connected by a corridor, this kind of corridor is called "crossing the mountain (or drilling through the mountain) verandah".
