Abstract There are many reasons why Da-po style architecture is profitable for hipped-and-gable roof. One of them, the corner- bracket-set of Da-po is more strong than the corner-bracket-set of Chu-sim-po style. The corner-bracket-set is very important why supporting the corners of eaves is essential to hipped-and-gable roof. This study is on the corner-bracket-set of Da-po style architecture. In particular, this study focuses on the inner and outer 2-jump corner-bracket-set. The results of this study are as follows : 1. The corner-bracket-set of Da-po style of the early Chosun Dynasty in Korea is very similar to 『Ying-Tsao-Fa-Shih』of Sung Dynasty in China. There are 2 styles Do-mae-chum. One is the short-extending-arms and the other is the short-extending-timber. 2. In 1600, immediately after war, many changes had been occurred. For example, short extending arms of Do-mae-chum had been disappeared. 1 jump extending arms substituted the short-extending-arms at the outside of the corner-bracket-set and short extending timber substituted the short extending arms at the inside of corner bracket set. 3. In the latter period, the corner-bracket-set was more luxurious than the earlier set. But corner bracket set was more compact because of increasing link between two arms which are cross arms and extending arms.
