The parapet wall can also be translated literally as “daughter wall,” and this is how it is referred to in many architectural texts. For example: Issue 03, 2006, “Practice of daughter wall and frame-fill-wall crack control” (Practices for controlling cracks in parapet walls and frame-filled walls)

Parapet will do; there’s no need to add Wall. Translating it as “Daughter Wall” is completely wrong; it is a common mistake resulting from a lack of knowledge of the relevant foreign language. I don’t know why jiej gave the 4th floor a score of 6 and also mentioned some charm, is it just because the person in charge of the 4th floor is Engineer Haichuan?

The scientific name is Ya Yan. It is generally translated as Parapet (according to online definitions)
