8. About Xi'an City Wall
The Xi'an City Wall (The Xi'an Circumvallation) Before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Huizhou, a hermit named Zhu Sheng told him that he should "build the wall high" , accumulate grain widely, and slowly become the king."
Zhu Yuanzhang adopted these suggestions. When the country was unified, he ordered all prefectures and counties to build cities universally.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that "the mountains and rivers of the world, "Only the Qin Dynasty is the most dangerous and solid". It was during this city-building boom that the ancient city wall of Xi'an was expanded on the basis of the old city of the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of Governor Pu Ying.
The expanded Xi'an city wall in the Ming Dynasty is 12 meters high. , 12-14 meters wide at the top, 15-18 meters wide at the bottom, and about 13.7 kilometers in circumference. The city wall is built with enemy towers every 120 meters, protruding outside the city wall, and the top is level with the city wall.
This is specially designed for shooting enemies climbing the city. Half of the distance between the enemy towers is just within the effective range of the bow and arrow, making it easier to shoot enemies attacking the city from the side.
On the city wall**. *There are 98 enemy towers with garrison towers built on them. The weapons in ancient times were backward, and the city gate was the only way in and out, so this was the focus of Xi'an City's defense that the feudal rulers worked hard to build. There are four city gates in the east, west, south and north, respectively, with three gates: main tower, watchtower and gate tower. The gate tower is at the outermost and functions as a lifting bridge. The watchtower is in the middle and has square windows on the front and both sides. It is used for archery.
The main tower is at the end and is the main entrance of the city. The horse path leading to the city head is gentle and has no steps, making it easier for horses to get on and off. There are 11 horse paths throughout the city.
There are corner platforms protruding outside the city wall at all four corners. It may be that except for the corners of the Tang Imperial City, the rest are square. There is a turret on the corner platform that is taller than the enemy tower, indicating the important position here in the war. There are battlements on the outside of the city wall. Also known as the crenel wall, there are 5984 crenels on it, which can be used for shooting arrows and looking out.
The inner low wall is called the parapet wall and has no crenels to prevent soldiers from falling when they walk back and forth. The city wall of Xi'an was completely made of layered loess, and the bottom layer was rammed with a mixture of soil, lime and glutinous rice juice. It was extremely hard.
Later, the inner and outer walls and the top of the entire city wall were covered with green bricks. There are channels made of blue bricks every 40-60 meters for drainage, which play a very important role in the long-term protection of Xi'an's ancient city wall.
The city is surrounded by wide and deep walls. There is a suspension bridge opposite the city gate that can be raised and lowered at any time. Once the suspension bridge is raised, the access to and from the city will be cut off.
The city wall of Xi'an in the Ming Dynasty was once a large and sophisticated military defense system. It is also the most complete ancient castle existing in my country. The ancient castle of Xi'an shows the ingenuity of the working people in ancient my country, and also provides us with rare physical information for studying the history, military and architecture of the Ming Dynasty.
After the Xi'an City Wall was listed as a national reconstruction cultural relic protection unit in 1961, it ushered in the east wind of reorganization. In 1983, the municipal government invested 10 million yuan in conjunction with the overall municipal construction plan and began to build a city-ring park.
Today, the drainage system on the city wall has been improved, and the enemy towers and crenels have been gradually restored. The water of the Heihe River passes through Qujiang Pool and Xingdong Lake and leads into the moat, surrounding the city wall like a silver chain.
Trees are planted on both sides of the moat to form a forest belt around the city. Flower beds and lawns are spread all over the city walls.
From the west gate to the east gate, tourist spots such as the pine garden, peony garden, pomegranate garden, cherry blossom garden, Kibizhen garden, Hanguang Pavilion, labyrinth, yuan ladder, suspension bridge, South Gate Moon Castle, etc. have been built successively. . The majestic Xi'an City Wall has become one of the most attractive tourist attractions in the city.
A "Ring City Park" has been built along the outside of the city wall, becoming the best place for urban residents to do morning exercises. Xi'an Ring City Park is the only city ring park in the country. Its majesty and colorfulness add infinite scenery to the ancient city.
Xi'an City Wall has a history of 1,400 years from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the present. During the long history, the city gate has also undergone various changes.
A breakdown of the origins of the names of these city gates also reflects the ups and downs of the ancient city from one aspect. Below, we will introduce the South Gate clockwise starting from the South Gate: This is the oldest and longest-used gate in Xi'an. It was built in the early Sui Dynasty (582).
Back then, it was the easterly of the three gates in the south of the imperial city, and was called Anshangmen. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, when Han Jian reduced the size of the city and built a new city, it was reserved as the south gate.
It was renamed Yongningmen in the Ming Dynasty. It is also the most completely restored gate in the Xi'an city wall, but the original design did not have an arrow tower.
Nowadays, vehicles and pedestrians traveling from south to north pass through the separate caves on the east and west sides of Fumen, which itself has become a cultural relic. Zhuque Gate: Zhuque Gate is the south gate of the Imperial City of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Below the gate is Zhuque Street in the center of the city.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the emperor often held celebrations here. In 589 AD, the Sui Dynasty unified China. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty reviewed the triumphant army at the Zhuque Gate Tower.
When Han Jian reduced the size of the city and built a new city at the end of the Tang Dynasty, this city gate was closed. During the restoration of the Xi'an City Wall in 1985, the ruins of the Zhuque Gate wrapped in the Ming City Wall were unearthed.
It is indeed as majestic and gorgeous as the literati of the Sui and Tang Dynasties described it. The city gate pillar base is made of marble, the bluestone sill is engraved with graceful and elegant arabesque patterns, and the door opening partition walls are polished bricks with seams. Thick and upright, the ruins and broken walls reveal the luxurious style of the past. The current Zhuque Gate is located on the west side of the site and was opened in 1986.
Wumu Gate: Wumu Gate, commonly known as the Xiaonan Gate, was opened in 1939 to commemorate Mr. Jing Wumu, the revolutionary martyr of Shaanxi during the Revolution of 1911. Mr. Jing Wumu was one of the earliest members of the Tongmenghui founded by Sun Yat-sen. He was a revolutionary with great influence during the Shaanxi Democratic Revolution and died heroically in the 1917 law-protection movement.
Hanguangmen: Hanguangmen is the west gate to the south of Chang'an Imperial City in Tang Dynasty.
