The Shaoshi Que stands at the foot of Mount Shaoshi in Dengfeng. It was the spirit-way gate in front of the Shaoshi Mountain temple and dates from the Eastern Han. An east and a west pillar, each more than three metres high, are built of stone blocks carved with carriages, hunting scenes and the like, and topped by a roof copied from timber construction – a good example of a Han stone que. It is a component of the World Heritage Site “Historic Monuments of Dengfeng in “The Centre of Heaven and Earth””.
