Friends who are interested in the history of the Three Kingdoms may remember that the Jingzhou dispute between Wei, Shu and Wu constituted the main axis of the historical development of the Three Kingdoms. At the end of the Three Kingdoms, whether it was the formation of the desperate situation of the Three Kingdoms or the rise and fall of the hegemony of Wei, Shu and Wu, it was related to the gains and losses of Jingzhou City.
Located in the west of Jingzhou City, the ancient city of Jingzhou is one of the components of the first batch of famous historical and cultural cities. Its city name comes from its location in Shan Zhinan. Jingzhou, one of Kyushu in the world, has a long history. As early as 689 BC, after King Wen of Chu moved to Ying, this is the official ship dock of Chu State.
In the Western Han Dynasty, the imperial court changed Kyushu to the Thirteen Secretarial Departments (prefectures), and Jingzhou was among them. Jingzhou has been the name of the country and government since Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was not until the early Ming Dynasty that Jingzhou was fixed as the city name.
The existing brick city in Jingzhou is a building in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The whole city is an irregular rectangle with a length of 3.75km from east to west, a width of 1.2km from north to south, a perimeter of 10.5km and an area of 4.5km2. With the development of traffic, three new three-hole city gates were opened on the city wall after approval, nine more than the original six *. Brick city has earth walls, attached to brick city, and accessible to the upper city. Outside the brick city, there is an outer ring road surrounded by a water city. Watertown is commonly known as moat.
Jingzhou city has a history of 350 years since it was restored for the last time in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and it has been well preserved so far. It is one of the few existing ancient city walls in China, and the only intact ancient city wall in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, enjoying a high reputation at home and abroad.
Especially with the spread of the classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms story, Jingzhou became famous all over the world. Jingzhou has become an important tourist area on the tourist route of the Three Kingdoms in China, with more than 30 relics and cultural attractions for tourists to explore.
