Located in Shandong Danxian Arch Street, another exquisitely carved archway, known as "Chi (Chi) Praise Festival Filial Piety", also known as Baishoufang, commonly known as Zhujia Arch, is named because of the carved "Shou" character of one hundred different seals on the edge of the forehead and the front and back of the square. It is located on the north-south road 100 meters southwest of the Zhangjia Arch of Baishifang. The two arches are also known as "a must in China", which is well-known at home and abroad and is a national key cultural relics protection unit.

Zhu Shuqi's concubine Kong Shi, born in the Kong family in Qufu, Shandong, has a prominent family and a noble door. Due to the early death of her husband Zhu Shuqi, Kong was widowed at the age of twenty-six until his death at the age of fifty-six, and he was committed to keeping the festival all his life. After Kong was widowed, he carefully cultivated two sons, the eldest son Zhu Yiguan to The Prefecture of Qiuyang Prefecture, and the second son Zhu Chun was a famous local talent. After Kong's deeds were reported to the imperial court by the Holy Duke of Qufuyan, he was praised by the Qianlong Emperor and ordered the household department to allocate silver to build a square for praise, so the square was carved with "Edict of Filial Piety", "敕" is the emperor's edict, which shows the extraordinary status of this archway.
The name of the shop and the inscription
Baishoufang is 12 meters high and nine meters wide, with four pillars and three rooms and five floors, with a single eaves in the main room, a heavy eaves in the second room, and a peak on the top of the mountain. The whole body is carved, the bucket arches are staggered, the corners are upturned, the structure is exquisite and magnificent, and the carving is exquisite and vivid. Under the eaves of the main room hangs a plaque of the "Holy Will" of the two dragon play beads on all sides, and the lower part of the main room is carved with the inscription of "Jing Table Edict Granted Ton Shi Salang Former Ren Hanlin Yuan Kong Mu Qin Gift Gift Ru Lin Lang Hubei Anlu Fu Qiu Yang Zhou tong Zhu ShuQi concubine Kong Shi Jie Xiao "Four CrossEs" inscription. On the left and right sides of the square, there are two poems written by wang Yongcheng, the fourth son of the Qianlong Emperor, one of which is: "Cloth and vegetables are eaten for a peaceful life, and I like to see Tingzhi gradually become second." The moon is cold and the dusk is frosty, and the ears are far away from the sound of reading." Second: "For decades, the iron bone branch, health care and death are always flawless." Ice exercises are strong in the light of the heavens and the earth, and have been taught throughout the ages to serve the mother teacher."

Baishoufang is not only magnificent in construction, but also exquisitely carved throughout, with rigorous composition, rich themes, profound meanings and superb craftsmanship. The workshop uses a variety of techniques such as relief carving, through carving, and circular carving, vividly carving dragons, phoenixes, cranes, lions and other beasts and flowers and plants such as plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. In particular, the seal "Shou" character with a hundred different characters means that longevity has no boundaries and long life. The large-scale transparent carved two dragon play beads and stringed peonies on the beams of the square show the superb carving skills of ancient craftsmen. In particular, the carved dragon is actually five claws, which will not be trespassing in the hierarchical feudal society? According to the research of relevant professionals, Kong Shi was the aunt of Kong Xianpei, the seventy-second generation of Yansheng Gong of Qufu, and Kong Xianpei married the fourteenth princess of the Qianlong Emperor, so Kong Shi also became a relative of the emperor and enjoyed the treatment of the emperor's relatives. Allowed to use the five-clawed dragon, it is estimated that Kong's "female morality" was still very good at that time, and it can be called a model for women throughout the country during the Qianlong period.
