There are six gates in Xiangyang, namely the big and small gates, Nagato, East Gate, West Gate and South Gate. Outside every city gate in Xiangyang, there is also an urn, also called guarding city. In the fourth year of Wanli, the county magistrate listed Yangchun Gate, Wenchang Men Site Ruins Gate, Xicheng Gate, Gong Zhenmen, Yumen and Zhenhua Gate as the first of the six gates. Because the West Gate is the only way to visit Zhenwu Temple, it is also called the pilgrimage gate. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the ancient buildings in Xiangyang were relatively complete: six towers were high, four towers were stable, Wang Canlou, Lion Building and Kuixing Tower were dotted with ten-mile walls, high-walled glazed tiles and cornices were spectacular, and the whole city was harmonious, giving people a sense of simplicity and elegance. In recent years, Xiangfan Municipal Government has made great efforts to repair the ancient city and adopted a series of measures to keep the original appearance of Xiangyang ancient city wall.
Xiangyang is surrounded by the surging Han River in the north, east and south, and there are peaks such as Yanghu Mountain and Fenghuang Mountain in the west. The city wall was first built in the Han Dynasty, and was later renovated. Now the basic situation is good. The wall is about10m high,1.3-1.5m thick and 7.4km in circumference. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is spectacular. The poet Li praised: castles rise from the mountains, and the height of the city forces space. The city is surrounded by a moat, with an average width of 180m and the widest point of 250m. Known as the first city in China.
The whole Xiangyang city has a tight layout and the situation is dangerous. Xiangyang made of iron has been known since ancient times. Xiangyang, one of China's famous historical and cultural cities, is located in the north of Hubei Province and the middle reaches of the Han River.
Xiangyang is located in the Yang of Xiangshui, hence its name. During the Warring States Period, the State of Chu established Beijin Xu as the first military and political center. Counties were established in the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. Since then, it has been managed by the state, county and government. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, Xiangyang City was at its peak in history.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xiangyang was prosperous in economy and developed in culture, and the south of the city was called Guanaili. In the first year of Dixian Chuping (190), Liu Biao became the secretariat of Jingzhou, and moved the state administration from Hanshou to Xiangyang, making Xiangyang the state capital below Beijing from county-level administration. Now it is a part of Hubei and Hunan provinces and Henan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou and other provinces, and became the political, economic, military and cultural center of central and southern China at that time. Xiangyang City in the Tang Dynasty was an important town in Shannan, and its jurisdiction extended to parts of Shaanxi and Sichuan today. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng captured Xiangyang City, established state power here, called himself Xinshun King, and changed Xiangyang to Xiangjing.
On May 1950, Xiangyang and Fancheng on the other side of Hanshui River became Xiangfan City. Xiangyang city is a magnificent ancient city. She is famous for its long history, splendid culture, rich cultural relics and magnificent mountains and rivers. I don't know how many poets and poets have stayed here since ancient times, and how many touching poems have been written and recited to her. Wang Wei, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, boated on the Hanshui River, and with deep feelings for Xiangyang, wrote the infectious poem "Geography of Hanshu". Pan-Wei, south three branches to Chu, nine flows to Jingmen; Rivers cross the heavens and the earth. Is the color of the mountains there? The human residence seems to float on the ripples in the distant sky. These beautiful days in Xiangyang make me intoxicated.
