huabiao
Huabiao () is a type of ceremonial columns used in traditional Chinese architecture. ''Huabiao'' are traditionally erected in front of palaces and tombs. The prominence of their placement have made them one of the emblems of traditional Chinese culture. When placed outside palaces, they can also be called ''bangmu'' (). When placed outside a tomb, they can also be called ''shendaozhu'' (). ==Structure== Extant ''huabiao'' are typically made from white marble. A ''huabiao'' is typically made up of four components. At the bottom is a square base, called a ''sumeru'' base, which is decorated with bas-relief depictions of dragons, lotuses, and other auspicious symbols. Above is a column, decorated with a coiled dragon and auspicious clouds. Near the top, the column is crossed by a horizontal stone board in the shape of a cloud (called the "cloud board"). The column is topped by a round cap, called the ''chenglupan'' (承露盤) "dew-collecting plate" (see ''fangzhu''). At the top of the cap sits a mythical creature called the ''denglong'' ((中国語:蹬龙)), also called a ''hou'' ((中国語:犼)), one of the "nine children of the dragon", which is said to have the habit of watching the sky. Its role atop the ''huabiao'' is said to be to communicate the mood of the people to the Heavens above.
