(2) The main building is abandoned and there is no archway. Most of these archways belong to temples. The temple was abandoned, and as its accompanying building, the memorial archway, of course, lost its meaning. For example, the "Three Holy Places" square in front of Yuanmingyuan, the "Guangchang Mountain" square in Bi Xia Yuan Jun Temple in the south, the "Guandi Holy Land" square in Xue Jiawan and Xianyou Palace Square.
(3) The most serious man-made damages were the two invasions by foreign powers in the late Qing Dynasty, namely, the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860) and the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu (1900). At that time, the Sexual Sea and Futian in the Wulong Pavilion in Beihai, the Sumi Jing Ling Square in the Summer Palace, and the Square in the Jingyi Garden in Xiangshan were all destroyed.
(D) Hinder traffic development After the founding of New China, urban construction developed rapidly, and the archway across the middle of the road became an obstacle to traffic, so it was demolished. For example, Dongxi, Xisi, Dongdan, Xidan, Qianmen five arched, Dagao Xuandian left and right squares, Jin Aoyu? When we got to the square, it was demolished almost at the same time. (5) lose the meaning of existence
Although this kind of archway is few, it has certain social influence. For example, the "Cleander Memorial Square" can no longer exist after Germany became a defeated country; Yuan's workshops of "Dance Harmony" and "Walking in the Middle" were originally erected for him to ascend to the throne, so naturally they can no longer exist.
(6) Although there are not many archways that listen to fallacies and heresies, it is a pity. For example, the "First Jungle" Square in front of Long Fu Temple was built in the Ming Dynasty. Later, I heard from Zhu Jian, the governor of Shanxi Province, that the archway was going to be demolished for fear of hurting Feng Shui. After the founding of New China, two archways on Chang 'an Avenue moved to Taoranting Park, which was a good thing, but they were demolished because of the fallacy of the Gang of Four.
(7) The experience of this kind of archway is different, and some of them were rebuilt after the disaster, such as Dongdan and Qianmen. Some have disappeared after the disaster, such as "Wen Fu" and "Zhenwu" at the corner of Dongjiaomin Lane.
