Xi' an travel guide city wall

Xi 'an City Wall has four main entrances: Changle Gate (East Gate), Yongning Gate (South Gate), Anding Gate (West Gate) and Anyuan Gate (North Gate). These four doors are also the original doors of the ancient city wall. Since the Republic of China, dozens of new city gates have been built to facilitate access to the ancient city. So far, Xi 'an has 18 city gates and walls. Starting from the south gate, introduce Yongning Gate clockwise. This is the oldest and longest-used gate in Xi. It was built in the early Sui Dynasty (582). At that time, it was Sanmen East in the south of the imperial city, called Anmen. When the new city was built in the late Tang Dynasty, it was reserved as the south gate. It was renamed Yongning Gate in Ming Dynasty. In addition to the original design, it is also the most complete restored city wall in Xi 'an. I don't have an arrow tower. Now, pedestrians from the south to the north pass through two separate ticket holes in the south gate, and it has become a cultural relic in itself. Zhuquemen Zhuquemen was the imperial city in Chang and Tang Dynasties. Under the city gate is Suzaku Street in the city center. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, emperors often held celebrations here. In 589 AD, the Sui Dynasty unified China, and Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty reviewed the victorious army in Zhuquemen Pagoda. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the new city was built and the city gate was closed. When Xi 'an restored the Ming City Wall in 1985, he excavated the Zhuquemen site wrapped in the Ming City Wall. Sure enough, it is as magnificent as described by the literati in Sui and Tang Dynasties. The foundation of the city gate post is marble, and the threshold made of bluestone is engraved with graceful and luminous creeping grass patterns. The partition wall of the brick gate is thick and straight, and the ruins everywhere reveal the luxury and elegance of the year. The present Suzaku Gate is located on the west side of the site and opened at 1986. The T-shaped door curtain in Tang Dynasty, commonly known as Xiaonanmen, was opened in 1939 to commemorate the revolutionary martyr Jingwumu in Shaanxi during the Revolution of 1911. Mr. Jingwumu is one of the earliest members of the League founded by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and a revolutionary with great influence during the democratic revolution in Shaanxi Province. He died heroically in the protection movement in 19 17. Guangmen Guangmen is the west gate to the south of Chang 'an, the imperial city of Tang Dynasty. When the new town was built at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the central portal and the west portal in Xi 'an were closed, while the east portal was reserved, and all of them were closed after the Northern Song Dynasty. When Xi 'an restored a city wall in 1984, he excavated Guangmen site and found pillars made of granite and doorways engraved with flowers. It has been decided to place the newly-built Dongquanmen on the east side of the site, protect the site with a frame structure, wrap city bricks to keep the appearance consistent with the city wall, and set up artificial lighting and air conditioning systems inside for future tourists to visit. Xi Andingmen West Gate was originally the middle gate on the west side of the imperial city in the Tang Dynasty, but it was preserved when it became a new city in the late Tang Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty expanded the city wall, it moved a little to the south and was named Andingmen. 1926, Liu Zhenhua, a warlord, surrounded Xi 'an for eight months and killed more than 40,000 people in Xi 'an, starving and cold. Xi 'an was not cleared until General Feng Yuxiang led the national coalition to defeat Liu Zhenhua. This gate, which was opened on 1928, was named Yuxiangmen to commemorate Feng Lingbing's historical achievements in entering the city. Anyuanmen North Gate, officially named Anyuanmen, was built in the Ming Dynasty when the city wall was built. During the Revolution of 1911, the rebels attacked the whole city, and there was a fierce war in this area. During the war, the North Gate Tower was burned down. 1983 When the wall was renovated, the original watchtower was restored. Shangdemen, Southwest An Railway Station of Shangdemen, opened at 1986, and was named after facing Shangdemen directly. At the beginning of 1927, at the initiative of General Feng Yuxiang, Zhongshan Gate was opened to commemorate the name of Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the national revolution. 1 May, 9271day, General Feng Yuxiang led the army eastward and left the city through Zhongshan Gate. Zhongshan Gate is next to it.

Jianguomen 1986 Jianguomen, which was opened, was named after its founding road. Peace Gate, the railway station and Big Wild Goose Pagoda located on the same north-south axis with Xi 'an, was opened at 1953. In order to express the war-torn China people's desire for world peace, it was named the Gate of Peace. Wenchang Men Site Monument Forest Museum is located in the south of Wenchang Men Site site, and 1986 is open to the public. Kuixing Tower was built on the wall here, which is the only facility on the wall of Xi 'an, and has nothing to do with military defense. Kuixing, also known as Kuixing and Su Kui, is one of the 28 stars. In ancient legends, Kuixing was the god who dominated the prosperity and decline of literary works, and was honored as Wenquxing and wenchang star. If you are hit by his brush, you will have a brilliant blow, win three yuan and become the champion. Therefore, Kuixing Pagoda dedicated to incense was built in ancient Confucius Temple and colleges and universities. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were Guan Xue and Confucius Temple (now the Forest of Steles Museum) beside Xi 'an City Wall, and Kuixing Building was also built on the wall. Kuixing Building was restored on 1986. Here, visitors can see wenchang star who is addicted to alcohol, unkempt and stumbling, with a gourd hanging around his waist, a bucket in one hand and a pen in the other, and seems to be half awake and half drunk. The newly-built gate under the tower is naturally called the site of Wenchang Men Site. In the 19th year of Zhenguan, Xuanzang returned to An in 645 AD. He brought back 657 Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures from ancient India. Xuanzang 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. At that time, the magnificent Suzaku Gate was the main entrance of the imperial city, that is, the south gate of the emperor. Since then, Master Xuanzang has devoted himself to translating scriptures, setting up an altar to give lectures and spreading Buddhism in Ji 'an Temple. Shi Xuanzang spent 19 years translating Confucian classics.
