About Xuguo Stone Archway
Xu Guo Shifang, also known as University Scholar's Square, commonly known as "Eight-legged Archway", is located on the east side of Yanghe Gate in She County, Huangshan City, Anhui Province, standing across the street. It was established in October of the twelfth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1584). Xu Guo Shifang was built in his hometown of Shexian County when Xu returned home in glory. Xu Guo's stone archway has eight pillars instead of the usual four, forming an enclosure on all sides. It is the only archway in the country. It is a building erected by feudal society to express meritorious service, honor, virtue, loyalty, filial piety and justice. It is the carrier that best interprets ancient Chinese history and culture. It is known as the "Triumph Arch of the East".
