Memorial archways (牌坊) are stone gateways raised with imperial approval to honour exemplary conduct, most often chastity and filial piety archways (節孝坊) for widows who never remarried. Rarer types include the filial son archway (孝子坊) in Hsinchu, archways rewarding public merit such as the Zhongdao Chongwen Archway, and the Ming dynasty imperial grace archway (恩榮坊) of Chen Zhen in Kinmen.
