"Huidian Biaoming" Stone Memorial Archway
The "Huidian Biaoming" Stone Memorial Archway is a cultural relic protection unit of Wenzhou City.
"Huidian Biaoming" Stone Memorial Archway. Located in Jiushan Park, Lucheng District, it was built in the mid-Qing Dynasty. The archway faces south and has a total width of 6.2 meters and a height of 5.4 meters. It is of the four-pillar open-top style, assembled from individually carved granite pieces, with round mirror-shaped backing stones supporting it at the front and back. The carvings are exquisite, utilizing various techniques such as relief carving, openwork, and bas-relief to depict patterns including scrolling vines and dragons chasing a pearl. The main bay's horizontal beam features the four characters "Huidian Biaoming" (Imperial Record of Renown) in intaglio regular script on the north side, with an inscribed plaque reading "Rong'en" (Honored Grace) at the upper center.
