English: Memorial arch commemorating Fang Kung within the Yamen at Hanchow. The inscription reads: "Ancient Seat of Government of Duke Fang." Duke Fang's name was listed upon the no longer extant T'ang-dynasty Nestorian stele at Wang Hsiang T'ai temple in Hanchow, which confirmed his Christian identity. The earlier name for Wang Hsiang T'ai temple was Ching Fu Yuan, and "Ching Fu" is a term with the meaning "Blessings of Christianity".
