In the seventeenth year of Hongwu (1384), Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, ordered lord protector Tanghe to build a city in Zhou Jin Township and renamed it Jinxiang Wei. Jin Xiangwei was in charge of all land and water villages in Pingyang County in the Ming Dynasty, reaching Pumen and Qianhu. North to Shayuan (now Ruian), Ningcun (now Ouhai) and Haian (now Yueqing).
Jin Xiang Wei * * * has eleven villages and fifteen fields.
1 1 villages are: Miaohou Village, Yumen Village, Ba 'ao Village, Da 'ao Village, Yanting Village, Dazhong Village, Xiaoren Village, Shitang Village, Shiping Village, Dayu Village and Xiaoyu Village.
15. Bantang, Jianshan, Leitian, Maji, Fenghuang, Hericium erinaceus, Shangyang, Biwan, Donggang and Lingmen.
There are many piers below. For example, the existing ancient Yandun Mountain Yandun is located at the top of the pier in Xiao 'ao Village, Dayu Town, with an altitude of about 250 meters, which is an alarm facility to resist the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty. It covers an area of 100 square meter and is about 7 meters high, which is quite spectacular. Now it is basically intact, and it is a precious object of the anti-Japanese struggle in the Ming Dynasty. 1988 was listed as the second batch of cultural relics protection units in Cangnan county.
The circumference of the Wei city wall in Jinxiang is 9 miles and 30 steps, with a total length of 1.420 feet, a wall height of 1.9 feet, a toe thickness of 2 feet, a mouth of 1.650 mouths and 43 nests. There are four gates, East Gate and Xu Yingmen. South, Jinghai Gate; West, come to cool the door; North, Wangjing Gate. Build a tower. There used to be four sluices, but now there are two left. The urban structure is made of irregular strips, and loess and gravel are rammed inside. Due to historical changes, only part of the city base, north gate, west gate, south gate, west gate and Kuixing Pavilion above the west gate are preserved. There is a complete moat 30-50 meters wide outside the city wall. The river in the city communicates with the moat through the water gate. There is a suspension bridge on the moat.
In front of the Wei Hall of the Acropolis, there are two big warehouse and a small warehouse in Guangji, occupying more than 20 rooms, which are used to collect and pay the grain provided by Wei. On Weishan (Lion Mountain), Weiting has a watchtower overlooking the coastal defense and close to the warehouse. There is a land temple in front of the warehouse and behind it, which means that the land god will bless the storage event and be safe and sound. (2) Layout of Bagua Gankun
The acropolis designed by the Tang people who believed in the country and the Tang people who believed in the country has two characteristics: one is military defense; The second is the layout of "Bagua Gankun" designed by Liu Jiji of Nanjing Forbidden City.
Eight diagrams have six hexagrams, and the east-west direction is parallel from north to south. Jinxiang now calls Lane Eight as the first lane in Liuyi Middle School, and Lane Three as the upper lane in Liuyi Middle School. There are continuity and discontinuity. Even for Yang stubborn, broken for Yin stubborn. The buildings in the alley are intermittent, alternating with yin and yang, corresponding to the yin and yang in the hexagrams. One of the sixty-four hexagrams is composed of six hexagrams. According to the image metaphor in the Book of Changes, we can understand the purpose of Liu Ji's defense. For example, if it is divination in the Book of Jin, it is about combat readiness tactics. However, due to the long history and vicissitudes, it is now impossible to identify which lane belongs to Yin or Yang, so it is impossible to determine which divination Liu Yao Lane belonged to at the beginning, but what is certain is that the Acropolis is the layout of Bagua Gankun.
According to Liu Yao Lane: Jinxiang should have only six lanes, why are there eight? In fact, it is Liu Yao Lane, Ma Jia Lane and Niuxiang (also known as Moline Lane). These two lanes were built after the city was built, and Niuxiang was the place where the defenders slaughtered cattle and sheep after they entered Wei. A horse lane is a place or stable where soldiers sharpen their horses. Niuxiang is parallel to Hengjie, from Lihe Street to Tiandeng Lane; Ma Xiang's address is in the west of Wenchang Pavilion. As for what people now call Nanmen Lane 1 and Lane 2, it was after the Republic of China, and there was no such lane before. The naming of the Four City Gates also bears traces of the Eight Diagrams of King Wen: if the earthquake hits the east, it is spring, the five elements belong to wood, and the sunrise is in the southeast corner, so the East Gate is the gate. Exchanging the west is a joy, because the five elements in autumn belong to gold, so the west gate is a cool door. As for North Wangjingmen and Nanjing Haimen, the subject consciousness of later generations has obviously penetrated.
In addition to the four gates, the Acropolis has four gates in the southeast, southwest, northeast and northwest, forming a pattern of eight diagrams and nine palaces: rest, life, injury, du, scenery, death, earthquake and opening. For example, the southwest is the Gate of Death, where Ganxi Zhong Yi is located, and now it is an ancient battlefield site. This is the best place to kill the enemy. If the enemy attacks Jinxiang from the direction of big fishing and small fishing, and the soldiers guarding the city attack from the south gate, the enemy will certainly advance to the battlefield of Ganxi. There are mountains on both sides, and there is no other way, and the enemy will be killed; If the enemy escapes to the west, it will lure the enemy into the hinterland and become a turtle in the jar.
In the northeast and northwest of the Acropolis, gossip belongs to the birth gate and the opening gate, and due north is the closing gate. Because it was a Ma Pingchuan outside the north gate of Jinxiang at that time, it was a good place for our soldiers to recuperate when they arrived in Ba 'ao and Maicheng. Now it is a basic farmland protection area, a fertile ground for the people in the south of the Yangtze River to survive, and the interest of future generations has doubled in this home.
From this point of view, at that time, setting up guards in Jinxiang and choosing such a geographical location in line with the pattern of eight doors and nine palaces had to be said that the craftsmen were single-minded
Zhu Hongwu's ethnic policy after the founding of the People's Republic of China is a nine-character strategic national policy put forward by Liu Ji, which is also the historical background that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Tanghe to be stationed along the coast and set up 59 garrisons along the coast of the country. The layout of the Forbidden City in Nanjing is exactly the same as that of Jinxiang, which is Liu Ji's Bagua City. There are "Xuanwu Gate" and "Xuanwu Lake" in Nanjing, that is, "Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger and Xuanwu" in the eight diagrams are adopted as the naming method of the city gate.
Therefore, the "digging Tian River" in Jinxiang has been transformed into a pool for many years. Xia Shouan, a teacher of Jinxiang Middle School, named it "Kanchi", which also took the meaning of "leaving the south from the north" in the gossip, and also implied the meaning of fire fighting, and also followed the purpose that Jinxiang is the city of gossip.
The layout of Jinxiang is not so much for the needs of Yin and Yang Feng Shui as for Liu Ji's military defense. Strictly speaking, Liu Yi Lane was a six-platoon military camp at that time, which did not accept residents. Yin and Yang are intermittent, which is the internal passage of the military camp and easy to meet. The width of the driveway is only two or three meters, so two horses can't run side by side. This layout is most suitable for street fighting, which can be attacked and defended. Once the city gate falls, you can also use your familiar terrain to fight the enemy and let the enemy enter the maze. The center of Jinxiangwei is Cang Qiao and Xiaocang Bridge. It is a place where troops hoard rations. Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms hoarded grain and grass under heavy guard. It is based on this military strategy that Cang Qiao and Xiaocangqiao station grain. Due to Liu Ji's military tactics, before the city was built, the South Canal extended from Hetou to Jinxiang Cang Qiao as early as 1384. At present, Jieshi in Cang Qiao (built in the 17th year of Hongwu) and Kuixing Pavilion in Xishuimen can be used as historical witnesses.
The carp river is not designed to discharge pollutants, but to transport food. At that time, in the case of military emergency, the suspension bridge at Si Chengmen could not be hoisted. Grain and grass are mainly transported to the hinterland of the Acropolis for storage through the Watergate.
Seven wells are also used for military supplies. It is not only to solve the problem of drinking water in peacetime, but also to prevent the military and civilians from cutting off water in the besieged emergency. Therefore, the well was dug in the sun of Shishan Mountain to facilitate the soldiers guarding the city wall to drink water. Many considerations are based on military needs. Tang He set up a guard in Jinxiang, which shows Liu Jizhi's intention.
