Taiheyan Archway.

Taiheyan Archway, commonly known as "Glass Archway" by locals, was originally the archway of Zhenwu Temple (which has been destroyed). It is located in the east of Beixinwu Village, Yi'an Town, Jiexiu City, Jinzhou City, Shanxi Province, and covers an area of ​​48 square meters. The Taiheyan Archway was first built in the 23rd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1897). It faces south and has four pillars, three doors and three floors. It is built on a stone waisted Sumeru pedestal and has a hip roof with yellow glazed tiles. The Taiheyan Archway is intricately and beautifully built. The flowers and words have both Taoist metaphors and the beautiful blessings of good luck, happiness, longevity and peace in traditional Chinese culture, fully reflecting the wisdom and superb skills of the ancients. The Taiheyan Archway is a typical masterpiece from the heyday of colored glaze in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In May 2006, Taiheyan Archway was announced by the State Council as the sixth batch of national cultural relics protection units.

#chinatrip 🥰China's most beautiful glaze paifang, I'm completely amazed by this charming peacock blue! China has countless paifang (Chinese-style archways), most of which are made of stone. There are only 13 glaze archways exist in China, with 12 located in Beijing and Chengde, and just one in Jiexiu, Shanxi Province. The Taihe Rock glaze archway in Jiexiu is the only archway entirely made of glaze, featuring a primary color of jade-like peacock accented with golden yellow and green glaze, making it even more vibrant. The patterns on the glaze are vivid and rich in content, featuring dragon motifs, auspicious beasts, flowers, birds, fish, insects, figures, landscapes, and couplets, all embodying the good wishes for luck, longevity, and peace in. Various artistic techniques such as imitation line carving, high relief, and transparent carving have been employed in the glaze pieces, along with a wealth of painting techniques, making each piece unique. The glaze archway is truly a masterpiece without doubt among many archways in China. #
