memorial archway

The archway originated from the gate connected by watchtowers, namely "Aconitum Gate", and its direct pedigree can be traced back to Fangmen in Li Fang in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, all cities in China adopted the Li Fang system, and the city was divided into several square residential areas by criss-crossing checkerboard roads. These residential areas were called "houses" in the Tang Dynasty.

Housing is the basic unit of residential area. There is a wall between the squares, and there is a door in the center of the wall, which is convenient for passage and is called the square door. Later, because the door didn't have much effect, it left this form, so the people gradually called it the memorial arch.

Each archway contains rich connotations and symbolic meanings, and these connotations and symbolic meanings are mainly expressed metaphorically through various patterns carved and painted on the archway. In addition, there are "square eyes" in the archway. To show the object and reason of this archway, otherwise it will lose its meaning and value. This is the concentrated expression of people's life concept, feudal ethics and traditional moral concept in China feudal society.
