ting

From Sir William Chambers we learn, that there are temples of various dimensions and forms. 1. Some very small, consisting of one apartment only. 2. Having a court, surrounded by a gallery leading to a ting (or large apartment) containing idols. 3. Composed of several courts, encircled by galleries, wherein Bonzes have their cells, and the idols their halls; these last are more properly convents. 4. The lofty tower, or Taa.—All these are known by the name of Pagoda.
