Sources & model accuracy

This educational model represents the present Tengwang Pavilion, completed in 1989. It combines published descriptions with visual references. It is not a measured reconstruction.

Documented reference points

What the model simplifies

Widths, depths, floor heights, roof curves, column grids, stairs and railings are estimated or illustrative. Front and rear facades and the wings use simplified symmetry. Bracket sets, paintwork, tiles and ridge ornaments are stylised. The interior diagram only explains plates and framing; it does not reproduce actual joints, reinforcement, lifts, stairs, services or room layouts.

The eight selectable groups are not eight storeys. English plaque text is interpretive labelling, not a faithful copy of the real inscriptions. The guide separates published facts from instructions for reading this particular model.

Photo-based revisions

The side pavilions now use square pyramidal double-eave roofs with central finials. The galleries turn around the front platform corners, and the main crown includes smaller side gables and a perpendicular rear projection. These shapes follow aerial photographs; their dimensions and intersections remain estimated.
