Today we will visit the city wall, the bell tower and the drum tower. It's my pleasure to serve you.

The ancient castle we now see is the Ming xi 'an city wall, which

was built on the foundation of the imperial city of tangan in the early Ming dynasty. It is one of the most famous cities in the late middle ages of China, and it is the largest and most complete defense facility of ancient military castles in the world.

Xi 'an, as the ancient capital of the millennium, has built the wall many times in the past. Most of them are buried by the dust of history. The walls we see now go back to the sui dynasty. In 1369, the Ming dynasty moved xu da from shanxi to shaanxi, and changed the original fengtian road to xi 'an, meaning "western lasting peace and stability". It was the prelude to the construction of the wall in xi 'an. The eight - year - old wall shape is a rectangle. The wall is 15 meters

high, 12 to 14 meters wide, 16 to 18 meters wide and 13.9 kilometers in circumference. The bottom layer is mixed with lime and glutinous rice juice. After drying, it is exceptionally strong.

The ancient city wall of xi 'an includes a series of military installations including moat, suspension bridge, gate building, archery building, zhenglou, tower, enemy building, parapet and crenel. Well, now let's feel the scientific, rigorous and complete military defense system in person.

The periphery of the wall is the moat, also known as the moat, which is the first line of defense of the wall. It can block an enemy's attack, or even take advantage of the terrain to destroy the enemy. The moat around the city wall of xi 'an is 20 meters wide, and the gate is

crossed over the moat, and the only access to the moat and the gate is the drawbridge. At ordinary times, the soldiers in the city of the city listened to the commander of the morning bell, lowered the drawbridge in the morning and opened the city gates. Hoist the bridge at night and cut off traffic. Once a war has occurred, the drawbridge rises, the gates

are

closed, and the gates become fortified and enclosed fighting fortresses.

The city gate is the focal point of the city defense system, also is the weak spot. At ordinary times, it is a passageway to and from the

city. In war, it is also the primary goal of defending the two sides. Therefore, the Ming dynasty attached great importance to improving the city gate defense facilities. One of the most notable technological breakthroughs is the use of the arch gate to prevent enemy fire. Ming xian city gate is very solid, door leaf with 16 cm thick boards, a fan gate 2.8 cubic meters with wood, door leaf horizontal turn up and down the iron bar reinforcement, the interval of each two bars, 180 iron needle mushrooms nails. There are 1,800 iron mushroom needles on the door. This compels the wood of the door, increasing the rigidity of the door, so that the arrow can't be shot in.

In order to improve the insurance coefficient of the city gate defense, the gate is actually made up of three parts, namely, gate building, archway and main building. The gate tower is the most outside, its

function is the lift suspension bridge. It's used to make more. The enemy entered the gate of the gate, as if entering the urn, and would be attacked from all sides, so this space downstairs is also called "wengcheng". The archery is in the middle, with Windows on both sides, for archery. The wall between the archery and the archery is also called "weng city", which can be tunneled. The building is the main building of the city gate, which is the main building of the city. On the outside of the wall, there is an enemy stand outside the main body, commonly known

as the "horse face", every 120 meters. There are 98 horses on the whole wall, the building on the horse's face is called the enemy building, and the two towers are 120 meters apart, and the other side is 60 meters, which is "a stone's throw away". This layout makes it easy to shoot the enemy from the side. Therefore, the ancients commented, "there is a city without a platform, and without a city, it is a city, so the guard is there, and so is the city." On the outside of the wall there are short pheasants, also known as "battlements", with crenel and square holes for archery and lookout. The inside wall, called the

parapet, is designed to prevent soldiers from falling into the wall while they walk. At the four corners of xi 'an city, there is a tower called the "turret". In the city of weng, which is formed in the archery and the building, there is a horse road leading to the head, which is convenient for the horse and the horse. During the war, this is the key point for the mobilization of troops, and must be kept clear. So the guards are extremely strict.

As the years change, now we can see changle of xi 'an city wall gate, AnDingMen, rosefinch door, including door, jade auspicious door light, etc., the origin of these names from one side also reflects the ancient city of ups and downs failure. The city wall of Ming xian shows the wisdom and wisdom of the ancient working people in China. Well, the city

wall of xi 'an is here, and we will continue to take you to the bell tower.

cities had the nature of military castles. Besides the city walls, excavating the moat and setting up the suspension bridge, they also

built the bell tower in the center of the city as the command center. At ordinary times, with the morning clock, the time of the report, the time to open and close the suspension bridge, the emergency condition is used to alert the police, command the city defense. This rigorous urban defense system reached its peak in the Ming dynasty. Xi 'an is a

military and political town in the northwest of the Ming dynasty. Its

although the style of the tower has not changed since it was moved

to the present site, the jingyun bell is not going to sound. There is no alternative but to change.

It is said that the "bridge" also got its name.

On the west wall of the clock tower, there are "bell tower song" and "bell tower" inscription. "Zhong Lou ge" is the shaanxi governor who built the bell tower in the same year.
