Chibi Ke Di Shi Jia Memorial Archway
The Chibi Ke Di Shi Jia Memorial Archway is a cultural relic protection unit of Ji’an County.
The Chibi Ke Di Shi Jia Memorial Archway is located in Chibi Natural Village, Chibi Village, Antang Township.
It is a memorial archway commemorating scholarly achievements, facing south and built with a southern exposure. Constructed from wood using a swallow's nest structure, it dates back to the mid-to-early Qing Dynasty. The structure features dougong brackets and a double-eaved roof, with a wooden plaque hanging below inscribed in intaglio with the characters “Ke Di Shi Jia” (Scholarly Family of Merit). Supported by a total of 18 wooden pillars arranged in three horizontal and six vertical rows, these pillars uphold the entire structure. Among the 18 wooden pillars, six are made of cypress; beneath them are six pedestals made of Qiyang stone, exquisitely carved.
