What does it mean that there is a memorial archway at the entrance of the village?

The archway at the entrance of the village refers to the archway built at the entrance of the rural or urban-rural junction to show the momentum and cultural heritage of the village. Generally speaking, the archway at the entrance of the village is a traditional folk culture, which is not only a symbol of a village, but also a manifestation of folk beliefs. In addition, it can also play the role of isolating space and decorating villages, and become a place for people to meet and communicate. Under the background of modernization, the memorial archway at the entrance of the village has been gradually recognized and supported by the municipal government, and has become a beautiful landscape of rural architectural culture.

The architectural forms of the archway at the entrance to the village are different, and they are designed according to different regional cultural backgrounds and local characteristics. For example, Zhumenlou in Anhui, Paifang Building in Jiangxi, Sanyang Kaitai Building in Sichuan, Guyun Gate Building in Hunan and so on. Some of these archways are magnificent, some are quiet and elegant, and they are the treasures of China folk art. On different festivals and celebrations, villagers will also hold sacrificial activities to express their worship of the archway.

Although the archway at the entrance of the village is a traditional folk culture, it does have a new concept and connotation of modernization. Under the background of people-oriented, environmental protection and ecology, the construction and development of rural tourism and the establishment of archways at the entrance of villages can not only promote the development of rural cultural industry and tourism, but also enhance farmers' sense of pride and honor, and better display the traditional folk culture of China. Therefore, it is a very meaningful cultural project to strengthen the protection, development and utilization of the village entrance archway.
