Archway Street Review

1. The archway in China has existed since ancient times. Ancient archways have been handed down to later generations, and there are still many places in existence. Archway culture is an integral part of Chinese traditional culture. Its main function is to commemorate and highlight the achievements of festivals, merits and virtues, and Kodi in the form of memorial archways, and to praise merits and virtues. The most representative archway culture in China is the Ming and Qing Archway Street in Chaozhou. It is also the best scenic spot for visiting ancient archways, with the largest number and concentration. 2. Eleven of us visited the Ming and Qing Paifang Street in Chaozhou on the afternoon of May 28 this year. It is located on Taiping Road (Street) in Chaozhou City. The whole long Taiping Street is mostly four-pillar and three-door archways, standing across the road, ranks after ranks and magnificent. When I look at it, I can't help but be shocked. 3. According to historical records, the first archway in the Ming and Qing Dynasties of Chaozhou is the Sijin Shifang built by Zhengde Dingugou (1517) of the Ming Dynasty. It was established for Xiao He-cheng, Chen Daqi, Xue Kan and Su Xinjian, the scholar of Zhengde Ding and Ugly Section in Ming Dynasty. The maximum number of Mingzhao archways in Chaozhou was 91. By October 1949, 39 archways coexisted. By April 1951, 36 archways were demolished, leaving only "Yuebe", "Provincial Lang" and "Zhongjie" three archways. During the Cultural Revolution, two archways "Yuebe" and "Provincial Lang" were demolished, and only "Zhongjie" archways remained. 4. The Ming and Qing archways in Chaozhou that we see now began to be repaired in April 2004 and completed on October 1, 2009, and opened to the public formally.
