Guangzhou Architecture - Yangcheng Ancient City Gate

Introduction to Yangcheng Ancient City Gate:

The ancient city gate of Yangcheng is the city gate of Guangzhou. The history of the city gate of Guangzhou can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties. The earliest existing map of Guangzhou appeared in the Ming Dynasty, but the history of the city gate of Guangzhou can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties. As early as more than 2,000 years ago, the Nanhai Commandery Ren Xiao then built a city in Guangzhou. Zhao Tuo established the Nanyue Kingdom in 204 BC. He built a city with the style of the kingdom's capital, which was known as "Zhao Tuo City" in history.

North Gate

The Guangzhou City Wall began in the Qin Dynasty. Qin City Wall, Tang City Wall, Song City Wall, Ming City Wall and Qing City Wall, etc., but the northernmost one has never exceeded the Ming City Wall. The northeastern part of Guangzhou is surrounded by mountains, starting from Baiyun Mountain, heading to Feieling, Yuexiu Mountain, and finally to Fanshan and Yushan. The mountains form one continuous line, forming the shape of a "dragon probe" to drink water. It is said that from the perspective of ancient Chinese Feng Shui, this It's a nice city shape.

South Gate

After the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, as the north bank of the Pearl River moved southward, the city wall continued to extend southward. According to Yuan Qifeng, an engineer at the Municipal Urban Planning Survey and Design Institute, there was originally a south gate at the intersection of Beijing Road and Xihu Road, which was later expanded to Dade Road. In the early Qing Dynasty, the Guangzhou City Wall continued to expand southward to Yide Road and Yide Road. Along the Pearl River, the scale of Guangzhou City is now complete. The process of Guangzhou's South Gate's continuous expansion to the south is exactly the process of the river retreating and people advancing. It can be imagined that the water level of the Pearl River in the Song and Ming dynasties was higher than it is now, and the river surface was wider. At that time, the important military base of the southern Xinjiang of the Celestial Dynasty was surrounded by mountains. It is built on water, which is quite impressive when you think about it.

The Five Immortals Gate was built during the Jiajing period and is one of the south gates of the "New City". But apart from its name, the south gate is almost invisible today.

East Gate

From the map of Guangzhou City in the "Guangzhou Prefecture Chronicles" published in the fifth year of Guangxu's reign, it can be seen that the Outside the East Gate City, today's Jiaochang East Road and the Dongshan area were originally relatively desolate, but the buildings in Guangzhou City at that time were more related to politics, culture and military. At that time, Guangzhou City not only had important military and political locations such as Guangzhou Prefecture, Chief Secretary, and Dutong Prefecture, but also the administrative agencies of Panyu County and Nanhai County were located in Guangzhou City. Like other cities in ancient China, the political center must be the cultural center. Near the later Peasant Movement Training Center was the Confucius Temple. There were countless other large and small academies and universities, especially the Dama Station and Xiaoma Station areas, which were home to imperial examination candidates. As a place to stay, candidates from all over the world gathered here, so there are still relics of various academies and large and small inns in this area, such as Chaozhou Academy. In Guangzhou at that time, the tradition of learning and excellence was clearly visible. Culture and politics were inseparable, and communists firmly controlled the core of the city. In the early 20th century, Guangzhou demolished city walls and built roads, which moved the political center eastward to today's Dongshan area.

Ximen

It can be seen from the Guangzhou City Map published in the fifth year of Guangxu's reign that today's Xiguan, Shangxiajiu and Thirteenth Line areas do not seem to be in Guangzhou City. In the late Qing Dynasty, Renmin Road was South, People's Park to Thirteenth Line, are important bases for the development of Guangzhou's foreign trade. It was once again the thinking of the great power of China. The "foreigners" had already arrived at the doorstep, but they still had to be blocked outside the city wall. The West Gate back then was at least a symbolic barrier to Western culture.
