Gables refer to the gables of buildings.

1, gables are generally called external transverse walls, which means that the walls arranged along the short axis of the building are called transverse walls, and the external walls at both ends of the building are generally called gables.

2. Ancient buildings generally have gables, which are mainly used to separate from neighbors' houses to prevent fires.

3. As the saying goes, "Gables will hurt people", because the main beam of traditional hard gabled houses in China is built on gables, and gables are often load-bearing walls. If the door is opened on the wall, the bearing capacity of the wall will be reduced, and the main beam is in danger of falling.
