Stone Que in Han Dynasty, referred to as Han Que for short, is a memorial building in Han Dynasty. Hanque, known as the stone "Hanshu", is a "living fossil" of ancient architecture in China. In the Han dynasty, buildings were built in pairs outside the city gate or outside the building to show their dignity. Because it is separated from the left and right, there is a gap in the middle, so it is called que (the ancient "que" and "lack" are universal).
Its prototype is the watchtowers on both sides of the gap in the ancient wall door. After people can build a large-scale gatehouse, it will evolve into a magnificent building outside the door, and its defense function will gradually weaken.
Han Que introduced:
The Han Dynasty was the heyday of building Que, and capitals, palaces, tombs, temples, government offices, official residences, cemeteries and people with certain status can all build Que according to certain grades. The East Que and the North Que of Weiyang Palace in Chang 'an City in the Western Han Dynasty, and the Phoenix Que and the Round Que of Zhangjian Palace are all famous in history.
Legend has it that the Phoenix Que is more than 20 feet high. Except for the rammed earth site in Fengque, these giant tombs have been destroyed, except for some small stone temples and tombs in the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Western Jin Dynasty, the highest of which is only 6 meters.
