A carriage with a curved shaft and screens on both sides. In ancient times, officials of dafu rank and above rode in them. Therefore nobles were called 軒冕 (high officials). "Zuozhuan" says "Gave the lady a fish-ornamented carriage." Therefore invitation cards refer to noble ladies as 恭迓魚軒 (respectfully welcome your fish carriage). Based on this. | When the front of a carriage is high, it is called 軒. When the back is low, it is called 輊. Therefore treating things with one's own bias is called 軒輊 (unequal treatment). | The end of an eave is called 軒. Therefore a hall or pavilion with a protruding curved rafter under the front eave is also called 軒.
