Zhangfang
Zhangfang can refer to several things, most notably a type of ancient Chinese architectural element or a surname. In traditional Chinese architecture, zhangfang (丈房) refers to a specific room or hall within a larger complex. These often served important functions, such as ancestral worship, receiving guests, or as a principal living space. The size and elaboration of a zhangfang could vary greatly depending on the status of the inhabitants and the overall importance of the building. They were typically centrally located and designed to be the most significant and well-appointed area.
As a surname, Zhangfang (张芳 or other character combinations) is less common but exists in China. Like
