I looked it up for you. This is the only glazed archway in Beijing that stands on the street. This archway was built for the decoration and beautification of Dongyue Temple, forming an inseparable whole with the temple. The archway was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, one dynasty later than the temple. The archway has three doors and seven roofs, with yellow flowers and green tiles; Exquisite and meticulous, magnificent. On the south side of the memorial archway, there are four characters of "Kisdaizong", indicating that the deity sacrificed in the temple is the God of Mount Tai, Dongyue the Great; The north side of the memorial archway is engraved with "Emperor Yan Yong's seat", which means the blessing of Emperor Dongyue. His throne will always be in prison.
Just for this legend, this archway is also very suitable for this song.
Legend has it that this porcelain archway once frightened foreign devils. Yes 1900, that is, the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, and two teams of Russian and Japanese invaders came from Tongzhou along Tonghui River. When they arrived at Ritan, they turned north and wanted to enter Beijing from Chaoyangmen. As they walked along Lu Shen Street to Chaowai Street, they suddenly found a red-faced man standing in the middle of the road. I saw him wearing a green and black ribbon scarf, with five long beards and staring at them with wide eyes. It turned out that this was the glazed archway, which became the patron saint of Beijing before the invaders Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.
When the Russian devils saw it, they were very scared and quickly turned around and took another road. However, the Japanese devils crustily skin of head and forcibly moved into Dongyue Temple with evil spirits. This can be answered by Beijing's children's song: "Japan drinks cold water, and kicks when drinking cold water." After staying in the temple, some people kept having diarrhea, kicked their legs as soon as they had diarrhea, and went back to their hometown to see their own emperor. However, the porcelain archway on Lu Shen Street has been displaying its splendor with great momentum, and it stands proudly on the broad outer street.
