The folk song "Chongqing Song" records the city gates as follows:
Chaotianmen, the big wharf, welcomes officials and saints. The green micro door is hung with colorful satin and the five colors are bright. Qiansimen, flower buns, snow as white as silver.
At Hongyamen, boats are sailing, and chickens are killed to worship the gods. Linjiang Gate, Dung Wharf, and fertile fields have roots. Tai'anmen, Taipingcang, accumulate grain and benefit the people.
Going to the far gate, gongs and drums sound, watching the dead people being buried. Golden soup door, wooden coffin, neatly sized.
Nanjimen, Cai Lanzi, pouring in and out. Fenghuang Gate, the river road turns around, and there are flocks of cattle and sheep. Chu Qi Men, medicinal materials help, cure all kinds of diseases.
The golden and purple gate is right opposite the Zhentai Yamen. Taipingmen, Old Drum Tower, the time is accurate. There are people and doors, artillery fires, and the boss goes out on patrol.
Dingyuanmen, Jiaochangba, dancing with swords and sticks. At Fuxing Gate, the galloping horses are as fast as soaring clouds. There is an ancient square in Dongshui Gate, facing Zhenwu Mountain, with Carp Jumping over Dragon Gate.
