text: The que is a freestanding, ceremonial gate tower in traditional Chinese architecture. First developed in the Zhou dynasty, que towers were used to form ceremonial gateways to tombs, palaces and temples throughout pre-modern China down to the Qing dynasty (1644–1912). The use of que gateways reached its peak during the Han dynasty, and today they can often be seen as a component of an architectural ensemble at the graves of high officials during China's Han dynasty.
