Nanfan Stone Archway in Jiangxian County | Who is the protagonist being honored?

|Who is the protagonist being commended? The Nanfan Stone Archway was built during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty more than 200 years ago. With its solid brick and stone structure, it has withstood the baptism of wind and rain and still stands tall. The stone archway consists of six pillars and five doors. On the top of the double-eaved hipped roof are stone plaques engraved with "Imperial Edict" and "Honor", which looks solemn and dignified. Each side of the archway is carved with exquisite reliefs, with lifelike animals, flowers and figures that are dazzling to the eyes. The male and female stone lions holding drum stones stand on both sides of the central gate, adding a bit of majesty. On the stone plaque in the middle of the archway are engraved the words "Chastity Archway for Lady Li, Wife of Jia Ningduan, Who Was Conferred the Title of Zhongxian Doctor". Li Gongren was the title given to the wife of a fourth-rank official in the Qing Dynasty, while Jia Ningduan was a fourth-rank Zhongxian Doctor who died in office. As Jia Ningduan's second wife, Li Gongren insisted on remaining a widow and raised her young son with great difficulty. Under the guidance and instruction of his grandmother, Mrs. Li, Jia Zongluo had good conduct and excellent academic performance. He passed the imperial examination and became a scholar in his 20s and was appointed as the Binle Branch of Shandong Salt Transport. When Emperor Jiaqing learned about this, he thought it was a model and ordered the construction of a chastity arch to commend Li Gongren's chastity. There is a pavilion next to the archway, which contains fifteen stone steles, all of which are classical Chinese hymns written by various literati in praise of Li Gong. The general idea is nothing more than praising her for being a widow well and her children and grandchildren are so promising. However, no one mentioned Li Gong's real name, either on the archway plaque or on the inscription, and they all called her Gongren. This makes people wonder, why did these men not mention Li Gong's real name when creating such a strong atmosphere of chastity and filial piety?
