[^1: [Meaning, literally, to "stich and bind" (Kroll 2015, 588, 359-360), according to the Yingzao fashi (1103), zhaqian refers to cross beams that span one rafter (Liang 1983, 142). Zhaqian usually only serves to connect two members, but is not load-bearing. In extant buildings in southeast China, a similar component--called shuiliang 水梁 in Zhejiang and Jiangsu, shumu 束木 in southern Fujian, and shuishu 水束 in Guangdong--structurally combines zhaqian, chashou 叉手, and tuojiao 托腳.] [劄牽為《營造法式》（1103）中的建築術語，指長一椽的梁，通常僅起聯繫作用而不荷重（梁 1983，142）。在中國東南地區的建筑实例中，也有类似的，結合劄牽、叉手與托腳結構作用的構件，稱為水梁（江浙）、束木（閩南）、水束（廣府）等。]]
