The archway in Qiaotou Village
Qiaotou Village Liaodong Society (Liaodong Society) has a workshop of "Employment Agency". It was built in the 11th year of the Republic of China (1922). The archway is a stone-like wooden structure with double eaves hanging from the top of the mountain, four columns, three rooms and five floors, 8 meters wide and 9 meters high; The main building is at the top of Sipo, and the side building is on the second floor. Instead of building a room, put a roof with three eaves. The main plaque is engraved with the words "Zhi Jie" inscribed by President Xu Shichang during the Republic of China, and the horizontal plaque is engraved with the words "Give Guo Qiyu's wife to Hebei's mother and her grandmother to the truth". On the square columns on both sides of the main room are inscribed couplets inscribed by Kang Youwei: "Suffering from the chastity of Yushu and Gui Lan, Zilun lives long and falls from the sky." The second time is the couplet written by Xia Tonghe, the champion of the 1898 Movement of Qing Dynasty, "Be kind to show that benevolent people hope that Fenyang will prosper, and filial sons teach Taoism and respect the future." The four pillars on the back are couplets of Zeng and Guo Zengqi.

Guo (1859-1935), whose name is Chunyang, was later called "Nanyang Sugar King" and was from Liaodong. /kloc-when he was 0/7 years old, Guo went abroad to make a living and ran the sugar industry in Java (now Indonesia) with his uncle. After years of operation, Guo has become one of the four largest sugar merchants in Indonesia. Later, Guo set up industries in Xiamen, Taiwan Province and other places, and started a variety of businesses such as sugar industry and tea. In addition, he founded Jinhu Primary School and opened a pharmacy to benefit Mulberry.

The square was built in 1922, during the reign of warlords. This move of building a square for women's "chastity" in feudal times is quietly withdrawing from the historical stage, but the imperial edict of "Rong En" hangs impressively above the plaque of the archway president, and the existence of the square should be a rare move. This square is also the latest known chastity memorial archway in Zhangzhou.
