阙，是中国古代宫殿、城垣、陵墓、祠庙等入口处左右竖立的楼观，是彰显其地位尊崇的标识性建筑物。据考证，阙，始于商周，兴盛于秦汉，衰落于两宋。其中，阙在汉朝不仅使用场景更宽，使用的阶层“门槛”也降低。

The "阙" (que), in ancient China, refers to a vertical building located on the left and right sides of the entrance of palaces, city walls, tombs, temples, etc. It is a symbolic architectural structure that signifies the elevated status and reverence of the place. According to research, the use of "que" began in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, prospered during the Qin and Han dynasties, and declined in the Song dynasties. During the Han dynasty, the use of "que" not only had a broader range of applications but also lowered the social "threshold" for its usage.

目前，汉阙是中国现存时代最早、保存最完整的古代地表建筑，阙的建筑设计和阙身雕刻图案、铭文是研究汉朝文化的重要载体。全国现存汉阙43处，分布在5省2市，其中四川有21处，位于四川东北部的渠县有6处，因此有“天下汉阙巴蜀多，巴蜀汉阙看渠县”一说。渠县被称为“中国汉阙之乡”，其6处7尊汉阙于2001年整体列为全国重点文物保护单位。今天，我们一起走近渠县汉阙，与历史来一场时空对话!

Currently, Han DynastyQueis the earliest surviving and most intact ancient surface structure in China. The architectural design, carvings, and inscriptions on these structures serve as important carriers for studying the culture of the Han dynasty. There are 43 existing Han Dynasty Quesites nationwide, distributed in 5 provinces and 2 cities. Sichuan province has 21 of them, with 6 located in Qu County in the northeast of Sichuan. Qu County is known as the "hometown of Chinese Han Dynasty Que," and its 6 sites with 7 Han Dynasty Quewere collectively listed as national key cultural relics protection units in 2001. Today, let's step into Qu County's Han Dynasty Queand engage in a dialogue with history!
