Introduction to the stone archway: It is a three-door four-column type, consisting of four large stone columns more than ten feet high. The top of the stone column is decorated with orb-style carvings, the lower part has a raspberry plinth, and the front and rear of the root are carved with cirrus patterns. The Baogu Stone has a well-proportioned and reasonable structure, is solid and stable, and is spectacular. In the 23rd year of the Chenghua reign of the Ming Dynasty (1487), Zhu Jianshen, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, named the temple "Xian Tong Zen Temple", so the banner above the archway was engraved with the six characters "Edict to Xiantong Zen Temple".
