| 释义 | 四合院 sìhéyuàn noun courtyard dwelling [traditional residential compound in north China] 四合院Traditional Chinese courtyard residence, typically found in the hutongs of Beijing (→ 胡同), and also in Hebei and Shandong provinces and north-east China. The characteristic arrangement is an open courtyard, flanked on all sides by rooms with windows opening in towards the courtyard, rather than outwards towards the street. The residences usually contain two courtyards separated by a festooned gate (垂花门). The inner courtyard is the heart of the living area. Larger residences typically contain a number of courtyards. Just inside the main entrance to the house is a carved wall (影壁), which screens the courtyard from outside view. |
