Which is better, the gate or the post?

Both are important, but the gate is higher.

Courtyard gates and doorposts are important parts of the courtyard, and their height needs to be considered for aesthetics and practicality. But if you want to choose a higher one, let's choose the one with a higher gate.

First of all, the courtyard gate is the main entrance of the courtyard, and its height should be higher than the doorpost to highlight its importance and aesthetics. If the doorpost is higher than the door, the proportion of the whole courtyard will be uncoordinated and not beautiful enough.

Secondly, the height of the courtyard door should consider practicality. If the door is too low, tall people may bump into it, causing unnecessary losses. Therefore, the height of the courtyard gate should be high enough to allow all kinds of people to pass smoothly.
