The lanes, gatehouses and memorial archways in Western Wen Temple

There are many old lanes, ancient alleys, pavilions, gatehouses, memorial archways and other buildings of the Republic of China left in Western Wen Temple in Changsha, which have remained unchanged for thousands of years. In these long and Tortuous lanes with gray brick and walls there is a strong sense of historical vicissitudes. Although being very old today, they are well preserved, not only as the marks of old Changsha but also as the witness of historical changes. The old lanes, ancient alleys, gatehouses and memorial archways in Western Wen Temple fully extract the cultural elements of classical architecture in the traditional structural form, so as to achieve the perfect combination of economy, practicality and aesthetic. These unique cultural symbols of old Changsha carry rich cultural information and precipitate profound humanistic connotation. As a symbol of emotion,for thousands of years they inherit the feelings of Changsha people .
