chinese origin?

[edit]

the article states that hip and gable roofing is of chinese origin, but i came across japanese kofun period architecture which also shows hip and gable roof, and add to that, there are some terracotta models of the Ancient Maya Deity Houses at Copán, Honduras from MET museum which also show this exact kofun style of a hip and gable roof. Doesnt this chinese origin theory need to be reconsidered — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.135.130.182 (talk) 22:37, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article should be moved to a more neutral name. There are numerous similar roof styles in Southeast Asia (in particular) and South Asia which are native and are not derived from the Chinese roofs.--143.44.193.75 (talk) 06:45, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
