The Stone Archway is a type of traditional Chinese architecture of great importance. These stone structures, built to honor achievements, scholarly titles, virtue, and loyalty and filial piety during the feudal society, were erected to recognize and celebrate these virtues. Some palaces, temples, and monasteries use archways as their main gateways, while others are used to mark place names. There are also Stone Arch Louvers, which are monumental gateways that promote feudal rituals and virtues. Archways are also auxiliary structures of ancestral halls, showcasing the noble virtues and great achievements of the ancestors, and also serve as a place for ancestral worship. They are also seen as one of the symbols of Chinese culture overseas.
