The Stone Archway is a very important type of traditional Chinese architecture, constructed from stone. These archways, established during the feudal society, were built to honor achievements, scholarly titles, virtuous governance, and loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness. Some palaces, temples, and monasteries use archways as their main entrance, while others are used to indicate place names. Also known as a "Pavilion," it is a纪念性门洞式建筑 that promotes feudal rituals and virtues. The archway is also an accessory building of a ancestral hall, showcasing the noble virtues and great achievements of the family ancestors, and also serves as a place for ancestor worship. The archway is also seen overseas as one of the symbols of Chinese culture.
