Discussion of 堂

According to my Quick Study Academic Mandarin Vocabulary card, this word, táng 堂 is a counter/measure word for class period interchangable with jié 节. Not to be confused with mén 门, the other counter for classes, which is a counter for subjects (i.e., History, Literature, etc.)!

Hi! Please note that in the trainchinese dictionary, there are two entries for 堂. I think your comment should be under this entry instead:
堂 / 堂 [tang2] , (n/m) courtroom (in ancient China); (used for furniture) set, suite; (used for classes) period; (used for scenes or murals)
