Dear tourists:
There are hundreds of ancient city walls in China, among which the ancient city walls of Beijing, Nanjing and Xi'an are the largest. However, the ancient city walls of Beijing and Nanjing have been demolished or seriously damaged. The ancient city wall of Xi'an, which was built in 1370 ad, is still intact. When Japan came to Xi'an for a visit to China, they did not look at the pit of the terracotta warriors, the "eighth wonder of the world", but boarded the west gate tower, which was built more than 600 years ago, to appreciate the majestic appearance of the ancient city wall. Now, please come with me to visit the ancient city wall of Xi'an.
The origin of the city wall
Dear tourists, we have enjoyed the colorful and simple ancient city wall in the morning or sunset of the car shop these days. Now we come to the foot of the city wall, please walk on the wall tour.
You must want to know what the real meaning of the wall is. The word "city wall" was originally derived from the word "city". According to Shuowen, "Cheng" is the interchangeable word of "Sheng", and "Sheng" is to accept the people, so the original meaning of the word "Cheng" is to encircle the people and form a country, which leads to the meaning of city wall. The "city" of the Great Wall, known as the backbone of the Chinese nation, also means the city wall. But later, with the development of society, the word "city" contains the explanation of today's city.
The word "city" first appeared in the inscriptions of the Zhou Dynasty, which vividly reflected the military use of ancient city walls. The military function of the city wall is to protect the private ownership, and in ideology, the size of the city wall is the strict embodiment of the hierarchical patriarchal system. Obviously, the ruler built the city wall to protect himself and declare the national power. The Xi'an City Wall we see now is one of the most famous city wall buildings in Chinese history. It took eight years from the third year of Honwu in Ming Dynasty (1370 A.D.) to the eleventh year of Honwu (1378 A.D.). It was built on the basis of the imperial city of Sui and Tang Dynasties. After repair, it basically maintained the complete appearance of feudal city wall architecture, reflecting the outstanding achievements of ancient Chinese city building technology.
Scale, structure and facilities of city wall
Dear tourists, how big is the Xi'an city wall? What is its structure? According to the calculation, the perimeter of Xi'an city wall is 11.9 kilometers, including 2590 meters of East city wall, 2631.2 meters of west city wall, 3441.6 meters of south city wall and 3241 meters of north city wall. Such a scale is rare at home and abroad.
You can see a small city with a guard gate outside the four gates of the city wall, which is called the urn city. The so-called urn means that once the enemy enters, he will be attacked from all sides on the wall of the urn, just like a turtle in the urn, unable to escape. Outside the urn, there is also a small city called Yangma city. In ancient times, there was a fixed time for the gate to open and close.
After the gate was closed, people who had not yet returned to the city could go to Yangma city and the park around the city with their own sheep and horses to rest and wait for the gate to open before entering the city. The Yangma city in Xi'an was completely destroyed in the late Qing Dynasty. I remember that in 1986, about 17.5 meters outside the north gate of Wengcheng, Andingmen (West Gate) of Xi'an City, the north gate of yangmacheng was found, 5.5 meters long and 2.4 meters wide. Now you can see the restored Yangma city on the outside of the South Gate urn. The wall is 198 meters long and 9.5 meters high.
Outside the moat, there were four rammed earth cities named Guocheng, which arched the four gates. According to "Xi'an Fu Zhi" volume nine records: Tang Tianyou years, Han construction Dongguo town and Xiguo town. Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties are all de to this. During the Honwu Period of Ming Dynasty, most of Dongguo small cities were wrapped up in big cities, and those left outside were called Dongguo new city. Xiguo town in the late Ming Dynasty. At present, only part of the wall of Siguan Guocheng remains, and Guomen only has its name on the place name.
Now we come to the northeast of Xi'an City, which used to be the royal city of the Ming and Qin Dynasties. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanjin appointed his second son as the king of Qin and ordered him to stay in Xi'an to strengthen his control over the northwest.
The whole city is divided into two walls. The outer city wall is called Xiao wall, which is made of soil. The inner city wall is called brick wall because it is built with green bricks outside. After the Ming Dynasty, Xiaoqiang was destroyed. During the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of Qing Dynasty, temples were built in Xi'an, and most of the buildings in the palace of King Qin were demolished, and the brick city was changed into the Eight Banners church. At present, there are only a few remnant parts of ramming Earth City in the brick city of Qin Wangfu.
When Xi'an city was built in Ming Dynasty, there were four gates: "Changle", "Yongning", "anding" and "Anyuan". The name of the gate is engraved on the blue stone gate outside the gate. The building built on the gate of the big city is called the city tower, also called the main tower, which is the command post of the commander guarding the city. The building built on the gate hole of Wengcheng is called Jianlou, because there are arrow windows on the wall of the building, which was used for shooting arrows at that time.
In the Republic of China, four gates were opened, commonly known as Xiaosi gate: Zhongshan Gate (Xiaodong gate), which was built at the east end of Dongxin Street to commemorate Sun Yat Sen; Wumu gate (Xiaonan gate), which is at the south end of Sifu street today; Yuxiang gate (Xiaoxi gate), which is at the west end of Lianhu Road, was demolished after liberation; Jiefang gate (small North Gate), formerly known as Zhongzheng gate, was built at the north end of Jiefang Road when Longhai Road was opened to Xi'an. In 1952, it was demolished because of the expansion of the railway station. After liberation, Xi'an also opened up new city gates, including Jianguo gate, Heping gate, Wenchang gate, Zhuque gate and Hanguang gate. The north wall has Shangde gate. The east wall has Chaoyang Gate.
Most tourists know that there were 98 enemy towers on the walls of Xi'an in the Ming Dynasty. However, in 1982, the Xi'an city wall management office found that none of the ancient enemy towers were left, and only some of them still had foundation stones. After that, Xi'an rebuilt 12 enemy towers, which were brick and wood structures, with two stories of double eaves and two corridors on the ground floor.
The ancient city wall facilities not only built the enemy tower and arrow tower to prepare for martial arts, but also built the Kuixing tower to sacrifice Kuixing, the God who dominated the cultural movement. Kuixing tower in Xi'an was built in the east of the South Gate Tower, which was destroyed by the fire. Later, Kuixing building was rebuilt on the original site, which is worth seeing.
