《天工开物·中篇·舟车》
这种船的船底就好像建筑物的地基，船身则相当于墙壁，而船舱的顶棚是用被剖成两半、竹节被挖空后的阴阳竹搭建起来的，有些像屋瓦的作用。
凡船制底为地，枋为宫墙，阴阳竹为覆瓦。
The bottom of this ship was like the foundation of a building, the hull was equivalent to the walls, and the roof of the cabin was built using yin and yang bamboo that had been cut in half and had its bamboo nodes hollowed out, which had some of the same function as roof tiles.
