These two monumental archways were found in Fujia Road,Gongcheng Yao Autonomous County,southeast Guilin.They were built by Fu's Family respectively in 1738 and 1739,to commemorate their grandmothers.

So far I know there're monumental archways remained in three places in Guilin.

**************
Monumental archways were built specially for women in past time in China,they used for commemorating those women highly praised by their moral integrity.According to traditional Chinese moralities,women shouldn't marry again after their husbands died.Monumental archways were built for those women didn't marry again after their husbands deaths,instead they all lived very hard lives and raised their children with hardships.
