Was there a memorial archway in the Tang Dynasty?

There were memorial archways in the Tang Dynasty!

The memorial archway evolved from Lingxingmen and began to be used for offering sacrifices to heaven and holes. In order to pray for a bumper harvest, Emperor Gaozu stipulated that the spiritual star should be sacrificed to heaven first. In the Song Dynasty, Confucius was honored by the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven, and later the spirit star was changed to the coffin star. Archway originated in Han Dynasty, matured in Tang and Song Dynasties, and reached its peak in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has evolved from practicality to memorial architecture, and is widely used to show merit and glory, not only in the altars and Confucius temples in the suburbs, but also in palaces, temples, tombs, ancestral temples, offices and gardens, as well as the starting points, intersections and bridges of main streets, which are also very scenic.

For example:

Yifeng County cultural relics workers found a pure wooden archway "Lubanfang" in Houbu Village, Baishi Village, Huaqiao Township. According to experts' research, this archway was built in Xianheng, Tang Gaozong for four years (AD 673), with a history of 1300 years. The elegant archway shows the magical charm of the ancient wooden archway in China.
