What's the difference between an archway and an archway?

There were many memorial archways in ancient China. There are the following kinds of people who can be commemorated: heroes, imperial examinations, officials of virtue and politics, people who are loyal to filial piety and righteousness, virgins and women.

Beijing has the largest number of arched buildings in China. A portal structure with columns, usually very high. In the old days, there were mainly wooden archways, stone archways, wooden archways, brick archways and glazed archways, which were mostly located at the entrances of various avenues.

The archway is a unique landscape of China's architectural culture, and it is a characteristic building born out of China's culture, such as the cultural welcoming gate. It is also a unique carrier of China's architectural art and culture.

There were 65 archways in Beijing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, including 6 glazed brick archways, 42 wooden archways and 7 stone archways/kloc-0. There are only six archways on the existing streets, namely, four archways on the Guozijian Street, the glazed brick archway in front of Dongyue Temple on Lu Shen Street outside Chaoyangmen and the archway in front of the East Palace of the Summer Palace.
