Xi An City Wall Description Text

Everyone has written a composition, and you must be familiar with all kinds of compositions, especially as an important classification in composition, which requires truthfully reflecting objective things, grasping the characteristics, essence and laws of things and giving readers a correct understanding. How to write this type of composition? The following is the explanatory text about Xi 'an City Wall compiled by me for your reference, hoping to help friends in need.

My youngest brother and his sister-in-law came to Xi 'an from their hometown. We recommended Terracotta Warriors, Huaqing Pool, Famen Temple, World Expo and Datang Furong Garden, and lent them our cars. With a car, it is efficient. We went to many places, such as Ganling and Huangdi Mausoleum, and asked us to climb the city wall. It suddenly occurred to me that many foreign friends and tourists want to visit the city wall, but in my impression, the city wall has never been regarded as an important scenic spot in Xi 'an, and I have never seen it well. I think I made a mistake, a mistake that ordinary people easily make: turning a blind eye to things around me and lacking curiosity about things nearby.

People are often like this. I remember when I was a child in my hometown, the West Lake in Hangzhou was close at hand, and I never thought how beautiful she was. Sometimes I go to the West Lake. I just walk around the lake and the Bai Causeway. After leaving my hometown for decades, I can often see the praise of domestic and foreign tourists for Hangzhou West Lake in the media. Only by seeing the introduction of the cultural landscape of the West Lake can I arouse my yearning for this "paradise on earth". Back home, I will take a boat to enjoy the lake pavilion, find Jiuxi to live in seclusion and taste Longjing tea.

My brother is back in Zhejiang, and my wife is away on business. One day, I climbed the wall from the south gate alone. The south gate is called Yongning Gate, which is said to be the oldest gate on the wall of Xi. Built in the early years of Sui Dynasty (582), it was called An Shangmen at that time, and was renamed Yongningmen in Ming Dynasty. Entering the city gate, the spacious urn is like a huge square pool with high walls on all sides. If an enemy enters the urn, it is just "catching turtles in the urn." In front of the wall facing the Arrow Tower, there are two characters "Qin Yun" written in seal script. On the left and right are six exhibitions of "Shaanxi Opera, Cloth, Shadow Play", "Clay Sculpture, Paper-cutting and New Year Pictures", which are simple and elegant and summarize the rich cultural characteristics of Sanqin. Before the exhibition, the two masters were shaking diabolo, which just formed a vivid embellishment of the overall pattern.

It's already 10: 40 a.m. when I boarded Yongning Gate Tower. I walked around the urn on the wall, took some photos, and then started hiking on the wall of Xi 'an. The perimeter of the city wall11.9km. Of course, renting a bicycle is much faster, but my purpose is to enjoy the scenery inside and outside the city wall, and I have to keep taking pictures, so it is more free and convenient to walk.

The wall is12m high and15m wide at the top, which can accommodate five cars in parallel. From the south gate to the west, next to the outer wall, from time to time, you can see street signs and exhibition boards introducing Xi' an city gate and historical sites. Xi 'an City Wall has 18 gates. The signboard introduces the historical sites and cultural relics unit Xi 'an City Wall.

Every time I go to Xi, I will climb the Wild Goose Pagoda, see the forest of steles, and visit the Qin Mausoleum and Terracotta Warriors.

Never thought about paying attention to the ancient city wall. Since the "Xi 'an Ancient City Wall" stamp was issued, the situation has been different. Maybe stamp collectors have such a quirk. No matter what appears on the stamp, no matter what the initial impression is, they all feel much closer. Later, when I went to Xi 'an every year, I liked to walk under the ancient city wall of Xi 'an: this is the "Wengcheng" and that is the "Arrow Tower". For example, whether the picture angle of the stamp "enemy platform" is higher, whether the "corner platform" is a bit boring, etc., this is the philatelic complex. Looking at the ancient city wall seems to have a special charm. On second thought, it is still the charm of stamps. In fact, I know a lot through stamps.

There are many ancient city walls all over China, most of which were built or rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. Many ancient city walls have been dilapidated for a long time, leaving only a tile stone. Many city walls have also been artificially demolished. Only this ancient city wall in Xi 'an has survived many disasters and wars in Cang Sang, but it is a miracle and a blessing.

It is said that the wall of Xi 'an existed in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the present wall was built in the Ming Dynasty. After more than 600 years of wind, frost, rain and snow. It is also said that it is not only the only well-preserved large castle-like military building in China, but also the largest and most complete ancient military castle facility in the world.

The east wall of Xi 'an City Wall is 2886 meters long, the west wall is 2708 meters long, the south wall is 4256 meters long, and the north wall is 4262 meters long, with a total length of 139 12 meters. Surprisingly, the walls of Xi 'an are not square. This is a special case in which the ancient architectural style is very particular about rules.

There is no unified conclusion in the history circle about when such buildings as city walls began to appear in human society. However, it is not difficult for us to come to the conclusion that there is no wall in the long primitive society of mankind. As far as its function is concerned, the city wall is a defensive building. The appearance of city walls as defensive buildings has a long history in China. Banpo village, located in Xi 'an, is an important site of Yangshao culture in China in Neolithic age. There is a trench to defend against attacks from outsiders and animals. Functionally, it belongs to the original prototype of the city wall, but it is concave on the ground and convex on the ground. According to historical records, as early as the Xia Dynasty, the architectural form of city walls appeared in China. Xia established the first slave country in Chinese history. In order to show their nobility, those slave owners built palaces consisting of "halls" and "rooms" and built the earliest "Guo Cheng ditch" around them. With the continuous discovery of archaeological research, such "Guo Cheng Gully Pool", "City Wall" and "City Wall" will also be discovered.

In the development of human society, both China and foreign countries have placed great expectations on the city wall as a defensive tool because of frequent wars. Some places with military and economic significance, without exception, have built tall walls. Historically, the walls around Chang 'an City in Han and Tang Dynasties were dozens of miles long. In addition to the outer walls, there are Licheng and Miyagi.

Standing on the ancient city wall of Xi 'an, my thoughts will follow the winding extension of the ancient city wall, drifting into the distance and ancient times. I seem to see every brick and stone on this wall, and every battlement is telling an unusual history. In order to seize every ideal city, ancient people fought many cruel wars, and many innocent lives died in that tragic fight. Why does war always accompany human beings?

Throughout the history of human development and ancient wars, it is ironic that the city wall, as a defensive military project in ancient wars, can not actually bring much sense of security to those who have high hopes for it. The capital of song dynasty was impenetrable and finally failed to resist the invasion of Xiongnu. Nanjing, which is considered to have contributed, failed to stop the Taiping Army from advancing. Even the indestructible Forbidden City in Beijing failed to save the Qing Dynasty. The Great Wall of Wan Li, which China people are proud of, should be a defense project to defend the Central Plains. Invaders in history have also crossed the Great Wall many times.

For today's people, the concept of the ancient city wall as a war or defense project has been very indifferent. Advanced technologies used in the military, such as long-range strike and fixed-point bombing, have shown great power in modern wars. People even laugh, thinking that it is incredible that the ancients tried to keep the enemy out of the country and the city gate with high walls. Of course, we can't blame and laugh at the ancients with the thinking and vision of modern people today. With the progress of the times and the development of science and technology, there will be no more buildings like city walls around modern cities. However, as a product of a specific historical period and as an ancient architectural art, the ancient city wall not only tells us its role in ancient wars, but also tells us the social development at that time and tells people the extraordinary creative talents of the ancients. The ancient city wall is a history and a teacher.

From the south gate to the west, next to the outer wall, from time to time, you can see street signs and exhibition boards introducing Xi' an city gate and historical sites. Xi 'an City Wall has 18 gates, and the signboard introduces more places of interest and cultural relics, such as Huajue Lane Grand Mosque, Xingqing Palace, Daxing Temple, Ji 'ang Temple, Kuixing Building, Shuyuanmen and Zhang Xueliang Mansion. If you carefully read and collect these introductions, you can have a fairly complete understanding of the historical sites and cultural relics protection units in Xi 'an, which is almost an "Xi 'an expert".

Looking into the city from the city wall, you can see some elegant and antique streets and houses, which can arouse people's memories or imagination of the past of the ancient city, although many buildings have been repaired or even rebuilt.

I turned the southwest corner of the city wall and walked north at the Western Wall. There are fewer and fewer pedestrians. Many people who visit the city wall ride bicycles, especially foreigners and young people, while a few pedestrians are old people like me, which forms a sharp and interesting contrast. I met a fellow traveler near Yuxiangmen, the west wall. He comes from Henan and is one year older than me. At 9 o'clock in the morning, he went from Jiefangmen to the city wall, first to the east, then around the west city wall, and came with me. He went down from Jiefangmen and left Xi for Xinyang at four o'clock in the afternoon. He went to Xi alone, and taking the city wall was his last program. He is a man who loves life.

Xi 'an's park around the city is a derivative of the city wall, which is very distinctive and should be the park with the largest total area. The park is elegant and quiet, and it is a good place for citizens (especially the elderly) to have leisure activities. Overlooking the park around the city from the city wall, the scenery and tourists can be seen at a glance. In the afternoon and evening, there are often many old opera fans in the park who get together to sing Qin opera.

Looking out from the city wall, it is a world full of modern urban atmosphere, which is completely different from the city. It can be said that "the outside world is wonderful". If the city walls and cities represent Xi 'an's past and her heavy historical accumulation, then the myriad weather outside the city represents Xi 'an's development, vitality and tomorrow.

Usually speaking of the development of Xi 'an city, many people often shake their heads and always feel that Xi 'an is conservative and can't compare with coastal or other central cities. In all fairness, this view is very one-sided, including the indifference and prejudice I mentioned earlier about familiar things around me. I have also been to some cities at home and abroad. Compared with Xi 'an, I have my own advantages and charm. Let's show more care, tolerance, appreciation and love for Xi 'an.

Qinchuan, an explanatory article about Anchengqiang, has raised the children of Sanqin for 3,800 miles. In this beautiful land of Zhong Ling, years have left too many traces. Countless ancient myths, historical books, unearthed cultural relics and historical sites in this land, from the goddess of mending heaven and Cang Xie to the system and charm of Zhou Liqin in Han and Tang Dynasties, all tell its glory and vicissitudes. One of the most dazzling pearls is the ancient city wall of Xi 'an, which has stood for thousands of years.

Xi 'an ancient city wall is located in the central area of Xi 'an. It was built on the basis of Chang 'an, the imperial city in the early Ming Dynasty. It is rectangular with a total circumference of11.9km.. There are four gates: East Changle Gate, Dingmen in Xi 'an, South Yongning Gate and Beiyuanmen. Each gate consists of an arrow tower and a tower. Xi 'an ancient city wall has a history of more than 600 years. It is one of the most famous city wall buildings in the history of China in the late Middle Ages, and it is also the most complete existing ancient city wall building in China.

Xi 'an ancient city wall is not only unique and best preserved in the world, but also takes the ancient city wall as the main body, supplemented by the forest belt around the city, moat and ring road, which constitutes the most distinctive three-dimensional park in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that she is like a bright pearl necklace, which makes this ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty more brilliant.

In 582 AD, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty appointed Yuwen Kai, a famous architect, as the chief architect of the capital construction, and began to build Miyagi and Imperial City, which was completed the following year, and then Guo Cheng was built. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Daxing City was still the capital, and Daxing City was changed to Chang 'an City. At that time, Tang Cheng became the largest capital in the world, and it was like the center of world civilization. In A.D. 1370, the Ming Dynasty began to build a large-scale wall of Qin Gong and An on the site of the Tang Imperial City. Xi 'an City Wall was born. From then on, he took root in this city, as steady as his father's solid arm, and became the best snuggle for China children when they couldn't reach the other shore.

More than 3,000 years of history of building a city, 1 100 years of history of building a capital ... splendid history has made today's Xi. For thousands of years, the ancient city wall deeply rooted in this city is more touching and emotional than the years when the stars moved. It has undoubtedly become the most symbolic symbol of this imperial city, protecting the rich historical and cultural relics including the city wall, and thus preserving our roots. Xi city wall is a solidified history and a vivid human nature. Not only do people who live in Xi 'an have an ancient city wall complex that is hard to give up, but most Chinese and foreign tourists come to Xi 'an to climb the ancient city wall.

Xuanzang, a monk in the early Tang Dynasty, went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. In the 19th year of Zhenguan, Xuanzang returned to Chang 'an in 645. He brought back 657 Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures from ancient India. Xuanzang's return from the scriptures was warmly welcomed by millions of people in the imperial city. Emperor Taizong sent the prime minister to see Xuanzang. The welcoming ceremony was held in Zhuquemen.

As early as before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Huizhou, a hermit named Zhu Sheng told him to "build a high wall, accumulate more grain, and gradually become king". Zhu Yuanzhang adopted these suggestions. After the national reunification, he ordered all counties to build cities generally. Zhu Yuanzhang thought that "the mountains and rivers in the world are only dangerous." Xi 'an ancient city wall was built in this upsurge of city building, presided over by Governor Pu Ying, and expanded on the basis of the old city of Tang Dynasty.

The years of the Thirteen Dynasties have changed, and thousands of days and nights have given birth to the solemnity of the ancient city wall. Thick history is brown, witnessing the rise and fall of the times. The towering tower is not impregnable, and the past will eventually go away.

Climb the ancient city wall, overlooking the whole city, surrounded by forest belts, dripping red and flowing green; In the moat, the blue waves are rippling, the flying boat is flying slightly ... and the wind is singing, which is an intoxicating voice. Because such a voice can easily blow people into history, and it is enough to sing the soul. History can't be told in an instant, only awe. Overlooking the inside and outside of the ancient city, overlooking the towering Wild Goose Pagoda, listening to the bell tower bells, touching the gun holes and gun marks left by the battlements of the city walls ... The history of war, horses and smoke seems to be staged again. The ancient city wall, like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes of life, tells us the history from ancient times to the present peacefully. But after a moment of feeling, I realized that history actually stayed in the past forever. What was once magnificent condensed into eternity at this moment, but what the ancient city wall left me now is the explanatory text of Xi 'an city wall.

When you come to the famous historical and cultural city Xi, no matter where you stand, you can see the ancient city wall. Xi 'an ancient city wall is one of the largest and most complete ancient city wall buildings in China.

Standing at the foot of the city wall and looking up, I saw it standing upright, just like the backbone of the earth. At this time, you will experience a persistent and simple character and a grand giant spirit.

Xi 'an ancient city wall was built in Sui Dynasty. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the embryonic city wall was built and expanded on a large scale. After the end of the Tang Dynasty, Chang 'an lost its status as the capital, and there were few people in the city, which made it more difficult to defend and manage. So I gave up the original outer contour city and Miyagi and built the Imperial City. Because it was for military needs, it was built very firmly and laid the foundation of the city wall. When the city wall was built in the early Ming Dynasty, on the basis of the imperial city, the north and east sides were expanded by a quarter respectively; In the second year of Qin Long in Ming Dynasty, a layer of blue bricks was laid on the city wall. During the war years, the city walls blocked guns and arrows; In difficult times, the city wall endured people digging holes to take refuge; After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, the city wall has withstood the ups and downs of nature. Although the majestic posture is still the same, it is inevitable that there are some holes in the body. Today, the ancient city wall of Xi has become a tourist attraction.

The interior of Xi 'an ancient city wall is compacted by loess layers, each layer of compacted soil layer is about 9 cm; The ground floor is tamped with lime, earth and glutinous rice juice, and the outside is a huge city brick. No wonder the walls are so strong. The wall height is 12m, the top width is about 13m and the bottom width is about 16m. There are 5894 stacks at the top and outer edge of the city wall; There are shooting holes and observation holes on the wall; There is a moat more than 6 meters wide and nearly 4 meters deep outside the city wall; There is a slope in the city wall for the defenders to go up and down, so that they can enter and retreat at any time. All these constitute a rigorous urban defense engineering facility.

The perimeter of the city wall is 1 1.9 km, the length of the east wall is 2590 m, the length of the west wall is 263 1.2 m, the length of the south wall is 344 1.6 m, and the length of the north wall is 3644 m. The whole city wall has four main doors, namely, Changle Gate at the east gate, Andingmen at the west gate. These towers are magnificent, beautifully built and magnificent, with blue-gray glass bricks at the top and colorful beams. Dongcheng Building is tall and majestic, like a soldier on guard. Cheng Nan Building is like a little girl, standing quietly, small and exquisite. There are two Xicheng towers, which are slightly larger outside the city. They are really like a pair of twin brothers. The steady brother stood seriously, and the naughty brother peeped out from his shoulder with his head stretched out. The North Tower is long and recessed into the city.

This is the ancient city wall of Xi 'an, which is full of strength, kindness and natural beauty. It's a spring, and the spring breeze blows on your face. Friend, you might as well visit the ancient city wall. The fresh air and simple colors here will make you relaxed and happy. Walking on the wall, you will have a broad association and be proud of the diligence and wisdom of our working people.
