"Courtship" had many meanings. In the ancient Northern Song Dynasty, it was the name of an official position, but the words "court service" written on the archway might not refer to an official position. In later developments,"Chaofeng" was also used to address the rich and shopkeepers. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the salt industry and pawnshop were developed, and the employees of these industries were also called "Chaofeng". The rich in Huizhou dialect were also called "Chaofeng". Therefore, the words "court service" on the memorial archway might mean that it was related to the rich, the shop owner, or a specific industry (such as pawnbroking, etc.). It might be a memorial to a person or family called "court service." While waiting for the TV series, you can also click on the link below to read the classic original work of "Dafeng Nightwatchman"!
