[^1: In traditional Chinese timber-frame architecture, the lan’e refers to horizontal elements positioned between and on top of pillars with both ends inserted into the pillars. Its upper surface is level with the top of the pillar. In premodern sources, the term appears to only be used in the Yingzao fashi (1103), Chapters 4 and 5. Modern architectural historians use this term to describe architectural elements that accord with the Yingzao fashi description in buildings dating from the Tang (618-907) to early Ming (1368-1644) dynasties. This term is also used by some modern architectural historians to describe long horizontal elements, sometimes supported by dougong 斗拱, located above or between eaves pillars, as can be seen in representations of buildings in stone cave temples, wall paintings, and sarcophagi dating before the Tang dynasty.

指位於相鄰兩柱間柱頭的水平構件，兩端插入柱中，上皮與柱頂平，通常位於檐部。有些學者認為位於室內，且上有補間鋪作者也叫闌額。闌額僅見於《營造法式》（1103）卷四、卷五。現代建築史學者通常將之用於描述唐至明初建築物中符合上述描述的構件。有些學者也用此術語描述出現於唐以前石窟、壁畫，或石槨等圖像中之建築物形象的，檐柱之上或之間的長構件。]
