Langji Memorial Archway
  Located in Langji Village, Xiaotian Township · Qing Dynasty · Provincial Cultural Heritage Site. Built in the 36th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1771). This four-pillar, three-bay stone archway spans 5.7 meters in width, stands 7.7 meters tall, and covers an area of 4.56 square meters. It bears the inscription “Memorial Archway in Honor of Madam Huang, Wife of Confucian Scholar Xiao Xingsan.” The beams, arches, and pillars are connected using mortise-and-tenon joints. A stone threshold is set at the base. The top of the archway features a ridge with dragon-headed finials, a central grotesque beast ornament, hanging fish ornaments at both ends, and relief carvings of floral patterns.
