Where is the old archway of Xu Pavilion in Yixing?

The tomb of Elder Xu of Yixing was located in Dongshan Village, Changxing County, Zhejiang Province.

Grand Secretary Xu was a wise prime minister during the Ming Dynasty. His name was Xu Pu. He was from Yixing, and the Xu Ancestral Hall in Yixing was the main ancestral hall of his family. Grand Secretary Xu had held many important positions in the Ming Dynasty, including the chief of the cabinet. He showed the characteristics of calmly assisting the government, cherishing talents, and caring for the people, so he was respected by the people. Grand Secretary Xu's residence was known as the Grand Secretary's Hall, and it was also a famous scenic spot in Yixing. The Hall of Elders was built during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt during the Qing Dynasty. This building faced south and was located outside the small east gate of Yixing, close to the Jing River. The Hall of the Pavilion was a county-level cultural relic protection unit in Yixing. It had a collection of Ming Dynasty stone carvings and Chu Song steles. Grand Elder Xu also had a building in Yixing called the White Tiger Hall. It was built by the emperor to protect him. Grand Secretary Xu returned to Yixing after his retirement and enjoyed his old age.

The Four Dynasties Archway was built to commemorate the Ming Dynasty official Lin Xichun. Lin Xichun had experienced four dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, namely Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi, and Chongzhen. He held many important positions in the Ming Dynasty and was eventually given the title of Minister. On the other side of the memorial archway was written the words " Three Generations of Shangshu ", which referred to the fact that Lin Xichun's grandfather, father, and himself had all held the position of Shangshu. The memorial archway was demolished in 1951, but it was rebuilt in 2006 on the north side of the entrance of Taiping Road Branch Lane in Chaozhou.
