The structure and use of the stone archway

The application of stone arches in our lives is more and more extensive, but few people really understand its specific structure and composition. Today, I will introduce it to you in detail.

      Like the archway, the stone archway is composed of foundations, columns, foreheads, plaques, eaves and other parts, which are connected by mortise and tenon. The foundation of the archway can be divided into two parts: the underground footing and the ground base, which are the key to the stability of the entire stone archway. The pillar is an important part of the archway, and various dragon totems can be carved on the surface. The forehead is also composed of small foreheads, folded columns, large foreheads, flat-beds, pads and other components, and is the core of the entire stone arch.

The stone archway is a very important building type in the traditional architecture of the Han nationality in China. The archway built with stone is also known as the stone archway. The archway used to install at the head of the village in modern society is called the sign archway at the head of the village, also called the archway at the entrance of the village. Many stone arches are also installed in large squares. There are also some palaces and temples with arches as their gates, and some are used to indicate place names. Also known as the stone archway, it is a gate-style monumental building, which promotes feudal ethics and advertises merit.

The stone archway is also an annex of the ancestral hall, which shows the noble virtues and great achievements of the ancestors of the family, and also has the function of worshipping the ancestors. The archway is also regarded as one of the symbols of Han culture overseas. Stone carving arches, village stone arches, square stone arches, and park arches have been used since ancient times for their classical and atmospheric style, and are also a very popular architectural decoration in modern society. The arches are very ingeniously conceived and designed by the designer, so that they can be displayed very beautifully.
