The term "抱瓦" in Chinese translates to "embracing tiles" in English. These are decorative elements often found on the eaves of traditional Chinese buildings. Embracing tiles are not just for aesthetic purposes but also serve practical functions such as protecting the wooden structures beneath them from rain and moisture. Crafted from clay or ceramic, these tiles are designed to fit snugly around the corners of roof edges, providing a seamless and elegant finish. The craftsmanship involved in making these tiles reflects the rich cultural heritage and architectural expertise of ancient Chinese artisans.
