What's the difference between modern stone carving archway and ancient stone carving archway?

The traditional stone archway is designed in a variety of forms, combining various sculpture forms. It not only requires beautiful appearance, but also needs its unique connotation. It is a combination of aesthetics and philosophy, as well as architecture, painting and sculpture. Even if a simple stone archway with two columns and no bright building is built, in the current carving industry, the relief techniques are usually line carving, hollowing out and double-sided carving.

Since ancient times, the foreheads of memorial archways have always been horizontal and vertical, and the foreheads of natural memorial archways are also horizontal, but they are written in the order from right to left according to the calligraphy habits of the ancients. Now newly-built archways are written from left to right, which is also a way to distinguish ancient archways from modern archways.

Moreover, in ancient stone arches, it is more historic, targeted and authoritative. Basically, every stone archway is checked at different levels, and many stone archways can only be made after the emperor's application, which shows the majesty of the emperor.

Modern stone archways are mainly used in the construction of new countryside, and archways are more symbolic; More reflected in the design is exquisite and delicate, and the design is simpler without losing the characteristics and essence of the traditional architectural model.
