There are many archways in Xueqian Lane of Yixing City, the most eye-catching of which is the Xiangguo Arch. Speaking of Xiangguo Arch, its origin is not small. As early as the Ming Dynasty, it was erected in front of the Temple of Literature in Yixing for everyone to visit and admire.
At that time, it was built to commemorate and commend Zhou Yanru, a Yixing person in the Ming Dynasty, because of the first examination and the temple examination, and even the middle and middle two yuan. The Wanli Emperor hand-picked the "first place of the first class", which shows its glory.
Zhou Yanru was the highest official at the time of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet chief assistant, which is what we commonly call "prime minister", and was prominent for a while. Today, the restoration and reconstruction of this Xiangguo Arch in the Yixing Museum is not only a commemoration of the glory of local history, but also a promotion of the concept of Chongwen re-education.
