This stone pavilion is located at the north entrance of Yuelou’ao Village. Built in the first year of the Xianfeng reign during the Qing Dynasty (1853 AD), it is a square, four-pillared, two-story structure made entirely of stone. It faces south, with the inscription "Zhong Hao's Legacy" on the lintel. The four pillars are engraved with couplets. In the center of the pavilion stands a stone stele, measuring 173 cm in height, 82 cm in width, and 18 cm in thickness, inscribed with the words “Kun De Yong Yuan” (Virtue Eternal), signed by “The Office of the Zhejiang Governor, Department of Administration, Ningbo Prefecture Government, and Xiangshan County Government.” According to the Republican-era "Xiangshan Daily Log," this stone pavilion was erected in honor of Lady Huang, wife of Zhuang Yaoting.

Although the "Zhong Hao's Legacy" stone pavilion is a product of feudal ethics, akin to a chastity archway, its unique structure and distinctive design make it a rare all-stone architectural masterpiece in our county.
