According to the different times of the archway，the role of the archway will be different.According to the historical analysis，the arch in the Zhou Dynasty when it has existed，"Chen Heng - poem wind door"："the value under the door，can habitat late." The "Heng gate" here is the earliest prototype of the archway.The implementation of the Tang court until the square，"Heng door" to separate "square" and "square"，and its effect is similar，after the arch".With the development of social economy and culture，the role of "Pai" as "door" has become more and more obvious.So it has been replaced by its decoration and culture.It is used for praising merits，remembrance of history，beautifying decoration，marking and guiding.
　　Archway，also known as "archway"，is in an important position in the field of traditional Chinese architecture and plastic arts.Its rich and varied shapes，colorful coloured drawing，practical and beautiful functions，and its long，long history and culture all reflect its aesthetic value.Every component of the archway and the traditional techniques used are finally formed through the continuous evolution of history.The use of materials is also from the beginning of wood materials.With the development of social economy and technology，stone materials，glazed materials and other materials are gradually appearing.The memorial archway is more exquisite and more suitable for the aesthetic needs of the times.The color paintings，or the carved patterns on the archway components，are constantly updated and changed according to the colors，patterns and techniques of the different periods.China's traditional housing history can be traced back to the Zhou dynasty.The value of the archway can also be seen.From the structural form，color，history and culture of the archway，the aesthetic value of the "archway" of Chinese traditional architecture will be deeply analyzed.
　　Paul's first recorded in the Zhou Dynasty，known as the "balance"，is a kind of ornamental column frame is formed by two beams of the most simple and original door，base the ornamental column to use cloud type simple patterns，the beam of the decoration also used its carving skills.The main pattern by the wild animal.The form of the archway is also simple，with only two columns and one simple form.With the need of the ruling class and the improvement of people's aesthetic needs，the forms of the archways have gradually become rich and diverse.To the Sui and Tang Dynasties，prosperity，prosperity is the potential basis for peace，ruler of power，architectural forms became complicated，its decorative gradually highlight，so is the arch form.At this time，the level of painting engraving technology has matured，the ornamental column stigma pattern is more complex，its pattern is the base stone of dragon and Phoenix，with as much，base form more thick，shape and style is more complex and delicate.The main use of arch construction technology tenon traditional technology，which is the church spread so far，can still be one of the main reasons for people to appreciate，and learn the second，it is because the arch of the stone material，solid for thousands of years are exposed to the weather is still standing. 　　Paul uses a symmetrical form，the balance of the people with general psychological needs，has always been the symmetrical form in the eyes of the people is always more comfortable，can produce a sense of balance in human psychology；arch base is generally only with stone，and the style is relatively simple，thick，a few root table column into the sky，the expression of ancient people respect and yearning for God's love in emotion，from the analysis of the form，is to give a person a kind of vertical extension，this form of exaggerated arch up from the vision，but also gives people a psychological hint of arch and beam；the ornamental column longitudinal to form and visual sense of balance，on the other hand，the column is relatively simple，and the beam and decoration forms are relatively complex，and achieve the prosperity and simple beauty of harmony，and from the view It is a sense of grandeur and Pang Dazhi.
　　Moreover，the archway in different regions also has its different aesthetic value and research value.South arch soft，beautiful，tall and magnificent North arch；the South arch skill variety，flexible use，the arch style of North arch style not sticking to formalities，single，unified construction technology；the South due to climate and topography，the arch material mainly to stone arch，North diverse materials etc..Each has its own aesthetic sense，each with its own characteristics.This is enough to show the profound and long history of traditional Chinese architecture "memorial archway" culture，showing the aesthetic value of the memorial archway.
　　More attracted to those who desire to understand China architectural culture，or is interested in this China traditional architecture，the arch design in the restaurant facade can achieve its decoration，can also have practical，the most important thing is to let people feel the genuineness of the arch or simplify the fine；form，be used as indoor decorative elements，such as the design of Chinese traditional teahouse，must not China traditional elements and cultural use image as a decorative arch The use of elements in space can not only emit a strong traditional Chinese culture，but also let people know the culture of the archway in the leisure and taste of tea.
