贵阳青岩古镇因明朝屯兵而建，是由屯堡演化而来的石头城。这里至今保存着不少明清时代的青瓦木屋、古街石巷，沿着镇外石牌坊和脚下的古驿道，拾级而上便到了青岩古镇的南门-定广门，定广门旁有一座周王氏媳刘氏节孝坊的牌坊，由整石雕刻而成，建于清同治年间，是为表彰周朝忠的妻子王氏和儿媳刘氏的守节而建，封建时代的产物，既钦佩王氏、刘氏的人格，又深深觉得当时社会对女性的不公，横梁上方雕有精致的“二龙抢宝”，匾额上方梁柱有浮雕“荷花图”，图上方雕有五龙图、中间有“圣旨”二字，还是很有看点，而且不用买联票，在古镇内转到南门就能看到。

周王氏媳刘氏节孝坊”位于定广门外的塘上街，建于清同治八年（1869年），牌坊格局与百寿坊一样，四柱三间。牌坊旌表的人物是周朝忠之妻王氏和儿媳刘氏。王氏含茹苦拉扯儿子，儿媳刘氏嫁到王家后，丈夫后来也去世了，婆媳俩靠做手工活维持生计，刘氏还尽孝将婆婆伺候到耄耋之年，且为周家尽心抚养子孙，传为佳话。节和孝萃于一门，博得皇帝一喜，嘉奖婆媳两世，被赞为“为黔疆扶正气”。

古时候保留到现在的牌坊，体现了中国的优良传统！
