[RedHeart] Longchang Archway Group was first built in the Qing Dynasty. Because of its exquisite construction craftsmanship, dignified shape, fine carvings and well-preserved features. In 2013, it was rated as a 4A-level tourist attraction, a nationally protected intangible cultural heritage and a national key cultural relics protection unit.
[RedHeart] There are 17 existing stone archways in Longchang, 7 in Beiguan, 6 in Nanguan, and 4 more are distributed in corresponding villages and towns. What makes it valuable and spectacular is that there are groups of archways and rich content. In addition to the four types of "loyalty, filial piety, festival, and righteousness", there are also "Baishoufang, Zhenshanfang, Shanmenfang, and Appreciation Fang" and "Multi-person Shared Archway". "Fang, men and women share the same workshop" is really rare in the world! It has high folklore and historical data value and perfect artistic value!

✅"Jueluo Guohuan Dezhengfang"
[Glister] The Dezhengfang engraved with [Xuan Ci Huihe] narrates that "Jueluo Guohuan" became the magistrate of Longchang County. In the era of Binxing imperial examination, he implemented both virtue and education. He regarded farmland, mulberry and hemp as the primary task of the county. On the one hand, he trained the scholars and on the other hand, he introduced farming. The inscriptions on the plaques on the stone archway are all words of praise and praise, reflecting the recognition of the people of Longchang during the reign of Lord "Jueluo Guohuan".
[Glister] The full name of "Jueluo·Guohuan" is "Aixinjueluo·Guohuan". To avoid the emperor's taboo, the word "Aixin" was omitted, and it was "Jueluo·Guohuan" instead of " Jue Luo Guo·Huan".
[Glister] The male monkey on the stone archway's Vajra pedestal is extremely rare in stone archways. Its meaning is "to ennoble a marquis immediately", "to seal the title of a marquis", and "to wait for a hundred generations". Really interesting~
