Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Column"

A: I don't know the context, but "figures" usually means "people". So statues, drawn people, people in a photograph, etc.

Using the phrasing to talk about a "cast" of figures is talking about them like they are performers, putting on a play. So perhaps it seems to tell a story, and so all of these figures are like the cast of a theatre play (because it feels like a performance or like it is telling a story).

The sentence is a little bit elaborate, like the writer is showing off, so that makes it a little harder to understand the description. It is not a simple or straightforward description. But it sounds like it is describing a scene where there are "marble columns and balustrades" either around the edges or in the background (or both), and then a lively/active/busy/expressive group of 130 life-size people who are dressed in things like brocades and pearls.

So however any of that information fits inside of the context. Those are the pieces of information that it is communicating here.

A: So I assume they are referring to something like:
45 +
34
---
79

What I think they mean is, to add up a column (栏?) of figures (numbers), you literally add down. In other words, to add up 5 + 4, you go down the column and get 9. To add up 4+3, you go down the column and get 7.

To add up is just the general phrase we use to add things. The "down" part refers to you going down the column.

Hope this helps!
