探访南京古城墙，找到了传说的沈万三聚宝盆，看看真实的聚宝盆是什么样的

Hello, I’m Qiu Ping. I am now in Nanjing, Jiangsu. We were in the Hexi Corridor before. And Shaanxi, Shanxi and Hebei to see the Great Wall. And some very important passes on the Great Wall. Guan Cheng Guan Lou Most of the well-preserved ones were built in the Ming Dynasty.

Today we come to the city wall of Nanjing. These were also built during the Ming Dynasty. It was built by Zhu yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. What is particularly interesting is that Under this wall. Buried in a cornucopia. We can see it today. The legendary cornucopia What does it look like?

Isn’t this very interesting? This is what we’re looking at here. Nanjing City Wall in the Ming Dynasty In 1356 AD Zhu yuanzhang captured Nanjing Renamed Ying Tianfu Ten years later, in 1366, Zhu yuanzhang followed the high wall. The policy of widely accumulating grain and slowly becoming king

Began to order the construction of Yingtian City That is what we now call Nanjing City. The massive city wall of Nanjing Thirty-seven prefectures in five provinces were used. Nearly 200 units above the county level About 350 million city bricks It took 28 years to complete. Nanjing city wall from inside to outside

It is composed of the palace city, the imperial city and the capital city. The perimeter of the city wall is 35.26 kilometers. There are 13 gates. Is the world’s largest in existence. Masonry walls of the capital The city wall of Nanjing Like the walls we saw elsewhere. It’s a little different

Most of what we see is brick. And the city wall of Nanjing It is of masonry construction. The lower part is basically composed of huge strip-shaped stones. Only a few bricks were used on it. In some places, it may be composed entirely of strip-shaped stones. Like you, we can see it very clearly.

Stone from bottom to top. Let’s look at other ancient cities. For example, ancient Luoyang city and ancient Chang’an city. All found it to be square and square. Including going to these places now. You can see some marks. But the city of Nanjing is different. He built it in a very special way.

He abandoned the rectangle of the old city wall. Square design Adjust measures to local conditions It is constructed according to the landscape trend of Nanjing. Give full play to the mountains and rivers The natural defense function of water system This is a rendering of the ancient city of Nanjing.

Let’s take a closer look Is it different from what we saw before? The dark ones. It is the preserved city wall of Nanjing. Outside the walls of Nanjing. You can see many lakes and rivers. Is in the south is outside the Qinhuai River for the moat.

To the north is Houhu Lake as a barrier. To the east is a big mountain, Zhongshan. Whether it’s a military defense role. Or build design ideas are the most in the world. Especially those who were responsible for the construction of Nanjing City at that time. Or Liu Bowen

It also adds some so-called geomantic omen. It probably means to explain the city wall. It adopts the layout of the South Dipper and the Big Dipper. Of course, I don’t know much about this. It only said that there were 13 gates of the Ming City Wall in Nanjing at that time.

It’s not a casual drive. The location is just above the node of the 13 stars. A brief introduction to the history of the Nanjing City Wall. We are going to take a walk on it now. Go to the south gate of Nanjing first. Take a look at Zhonghua Gate.

Is this city gate magnificent? This used to be the city wall. The city wall of Nanjing Then this is Wengcheng. Let’s wait a minute I have to go up and have a look. Let’s look at the surrounding environment first. This is the ancient city wall of Nanjing.

We used to see the ancient city in other places. Found it surrounded by a moat. That one is usually artificial. And it’s not too spacious. So let’s see How wide is the moat next to Nanjing? This may be nearly 100 meters wide. This river is not an artificial river.

It is the mother river of Nanjing. Qinhuai River is often used in movies and TV plays. You can also hear the Qinhuai River. The Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially in feudal society. This Qinhuai River is very remarkable. It’s a very busy place. Literati and poets at that time All kinds of people

Everyone likes to come to the Qinhuai River to play. Now there is this yacht on the Qinhuai River. Take this cruise ship to enjoy the Qinhuai River. Previous estimates are also of this type. The wall seen in the front is quite high. It is estimated to be more than ten meters.

This Zhonghua Gate is the Ming City Wall of Nanjing. One of the 13 gates of the capital of the Ming Dynasty In the past, it was called Jubao Gate. Sit facing south It is the largest city gate in China. An outstanding example of ancient defensive architecture And that B preserved in the world.

Urn City with the most complex structure and the largest scale Wencheng is known as the first Urn City in the world. Wait a minute. Let’s go inside. You can see the detailed layout Go in here We entered Nanjing. Now it is called Zhonghua Gate. Three words above.

Written by Chiang Kai-shek himself in the last century. Now we can see that There are also door openings on both sides of the Zhonghua Gate. This is the vehicle in and out. In the last century, to improve transportation. Passages were opened on both sides of the Zhonghua Gate.

The three words of Zhonghua Gate Written by Chiang Kai-shek himself in the last century. I am standing in front of the Zhonghua Gate now. Go in here If it was in the Ming Dynasty. It is equivalent to entering the city of Nanjing. This Chinese gate

It’s the same as what we saw at Jiayuguan. It’s a whole defense system. It is called Zhonghua Gate Wengcheng 118.5 meters wide from east to west 128 meters long from north to south Very large There are three urns here. It is the largest existing ancient castle in China. A total of three Wengcheng

Four arches run through The arch here is. This passage is not that kind of wooden door. This south gate, Zhonghua Gate. Everybody, look at this aisle. I guess it may be seventy or eighty meters. Worthy of the world One of the most complete city gates preserved today

The height is more than ten meters. Below is also a huge strip of stone. The top is made of bricks. This is a huge city gate. So his city gate defense system It’s very important. We often play in movies and TV plays. If an enemy attacks this gate, Will break this.

You can go straight in. Enter the Urn City. It is not realistic here in Nanjing. He has several defensive systems here. This door is a Then let’s look at the side. There is also a groove here. Let’s see what this groove is for. Many people may think it’s running water.

No, this groove is about 20 centimeters wide. The depth is 18 centimeters. It is also a defense system. It’s called a Jack. The Zhonghua Gate was above each doorway at that time. Are equipped with gates that can be opened and closed up and down. It is also called a Jack brake.

The Qianjin Gate is an important part of the defensive garrison of the city wall When the enemy entered the Urn City, These officers and soldiers guarding the city The gate can be lowered quickly. Prevent the enemy from continuing to enter. At the same time, it can cut off the retreat.

Cooperate with the garrison at the gate of Cangbing Cave It can effectively annihilate the enemy. Now the Jack gate of the Zhonghua Gate. It doesn’t exist anymore. We can only see a few remnants. This switch was on the top at that time. There is a small door in the passage.

This is the Cangbing Cave. There are a lot of caves for hiding soldiers in the whole area. It had two functions at that time. The first is to store materials. This is the usual state. Because there are a lot of materials needed on this wall.

There is still a point that is temporarily used to hide soldiers. For example, if the enemy He broke through the first gate. After entering the Urn City As soon as the Jack brake is lowered. The enemies who entered Weng City. It’s like catching a turtle in a jar. I can’t get out

Then the men in the cave will go out and attack. There is not only one layer in this cave for hiding soldiers. There are two floors and three floors above. So the soldiers in the hiding hole on the first floor It is estimated that it will not be used at first.

If the enemy comes in, First by the soldiers on the wall. As well as the soldiers in the cave above. The attack is almost over. The soldiers from the hiding cave on the first floor came out. Finish up For example, we can walk out now. At that time Soldiers up there

The people in this Urn City are almost attacked. Attack from the top down Then the people on the first floor will come out. In this way, these enemies can be completely wiped out. We’re here now. Within the range of the first Urn City The following are all caves for hiding soldiers.

One of them now has a It’s Shen Wansan who is worshipped. Shen Wansan, the God of Wealth Because the Ming City Wall has something to do with Shen Wansan. I believe everyone is familiar with Shen Wanshan. He was the richest man in the early Ming Dynasty. Zhu yuanzhang pacified the world.

During the expansion and construction of the city of Nanjing Due to financial constraints We have to find a way. The ministers at that time all said that Shen Wanshan was very rich. He asked Shen Wansan to build part of the wall. Stipulate the quality and progress of the project

At that time, Shen Wansan was responsible for repairing half of it. Zhu yuanzhang’s court was responsible for repairing half of it. It is said that Shen Wansan finished ahead of schedule. A little faster than Zhu yuanzhang’s responsibility. Especially with legends. Zhu yuanzhang was in charge of construction at that time.

There is a gate in the middle of the wall. Can’t always be built. That’s the Zhonghua Gate, the main south gate. Someone said to Zhu yuanzhang. Shen Wansan has a cornucopia at home. Yes, the baby has spirit. If you bury it at the foot of the city gate You can suppress the evil.

The gates will not fall. Whether this is true or not. Then it must be Shen Wansan’s idea. Of course, Zhu yuanzhang agreed. So Shen Wansan offered a cornucopia. Wait a minute. We can still see. The location of the buried cornucopia.

It is said that this cornucopia is placed under the corner of the city gate. Sure enough, it was built. And named the city gate Jubao Gate. It is what we now call the Chinese Gate. The name of this treasure gate.

It has been used in the Ming and Qing Dynasties for more than 500 years. It was not until the last century that it was changed into Zhonghua Gate. The legendary cornucopia is in front of us. We now see a building above. Then this is added later. The original cornucopia is under this.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Due to lack of financial resources People’s livelihood was not very good at that time. The emperor consulted with his officials. Put a cornucopia near the gate here. Is to build the fate of the country. Cornucopia, many people may think. Just to amass wealth. That’s not true.

He has a triple function of putting a cornucopia on the wall here. One is to gather money. It is hoped that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will flourish. The second is to ward off evil spirits. It is equivalent to the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

Xiude was the monarch and minister of the Ming Dynasty. The common people can have high morality. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty be passed on. If it’s just about gathering money. A Dynasty depends solely on gathering wealth. Can it be passed down for 276 years? It’s not possible

The three are mutually reinforcing. The most important thing is to cultivate morality. Virtue is a family heritage. It is often said that wealth lasts only three generations. That means the wealth is not more than three generations. If you say you pay attention to moral cultivation,

That family is probably more than three generations old. The cornucopia was buried under this at the time. There’s a building up there. It should be a tower. The back is also damaged. In the Ming Dynasty. This building must be well preserved. It existed until the Qing Dynasty. Is this cornucopia still there?

It is said that it is still under this because of textual research. In the past After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom captured Nanjing, He wants to dig up this cornucopia. Including the last century. Some people want to dig out the cornucopia. But there is a saying. The wall is in the cornucopia.

If the cornucopia is not there, the wall is not there. It’s the same as the foundation. Which means this cornucopia The back wasn’t dug out. It’s always here. I talked about the cornucopia. Let’s go and have a look now. What does the cornucopia look like? This is the cornucopia we often talk about.

That’s what it looks like. Let’s take a guess. What material is this cornucopia made of? A lot of people might think it’s made of gold. Actually, no This one is made of copper. We often talk about washing our hands of the golden basin. It’s also made of copper.

Now let’s take a look at this cornucopia. There are many carvings on it. Especially the lower four corners. That belongs to Legend has it that he is one of the dragon sons. To ward off evil spirits and attract wealth and keep wealth Then this represents wealth. And on either side are elephant heads.

It means good luck and good luck Ping’an Shun Tunnel Did you find out? This cornucopia is made up of two parts. The top is the basin and the bottom is the base. One is round, one is square, the sky is round and the earth is round.

There are 12 zodiac signs on this basin. It is also called zodiac sign representative. So what does representative mean? People are auspicious, people are going out and coming in. Man is safe, man is rich. Because the whole cornucopia It’s probably all about serving people. There’s a fret on it.

It is equivalent to a continuous cycle of wealth and honor. To put it simply. Above this cornucopia All carvings are meaningful. There are inscriptions in this cornucopia. On the whole, the general representative Cornucopia is what we said at the beginning. Gather wealth to ward off evil spirits and cultivate virtue

In this case, put it all together. In order to keep your family going. I heard from the guide. A cornucopia buried under the city wall That’s what it looks like. That is to say, Shen Wansan That’s what the cornucopia looks like. Because of the legend of Shen Wansan’s cornucopia Brought by Zhu yuanzhang

Under this wall. Finished the cornucopia. Let’s take a look at this Zhonghua Gate. Go ahead and you will see the second arch. There is also a Jack in this place. For example, if the enemy invaded the Urn City, Because the words of each urn city are not too big.

The enemy will keep moving forward. So the jacks on these arches We can separate the enemy, divide and encircle them. This is the second Urn City. A little further on is the third. There’s nothing special down here. We are going to take a look at the city gate now.

There is a passage to go up directly. This is not the original. It is for the convenience of visiting. The management office built such a passage to go up. The bricks used are also old bricks. He left a lot because of the city wall of Nanjing.

If there are some bricks, they will be collected. According to the tour guide, there are still 500,000 bricks in the warehouse. So how did they get on the wall before? It comes up through the horse paths on the east and west sides. A general can ride a horse.

The ordinary soldier may be coming up. Then why was Ma Dao called to deliver supplies at that time? Can it be pulled up by a horse? This is still relatively large. This piece belongs to the city. Next to the Urn City This area was still outside the city at that time.

Not far away is the Confucius Temple. Then there are some Hui-style buildings in this area. All the old doors are here. At that time, Shen Wansan also lived in this area. That is to say, the entire South Gate of China The neighborhood is a commercial center and residential area.

Come here and have a look. This Urn City is really too big. This is the Urn City in the middle. The enemy didn’t think of it at that time. He went inside. Feel able to pass quickly But I didn’t think of it This will not do.

If you are caught in a jar, it will be more miserable. This is the cave for hiding soldiers on the second floor. Now we are doing some exhibition halls. If the enemy came to the city of Weng at that time, Release those jacks. So the soldiers in the hiding hole

You can all come out. Attack the people below. Now go to the third floor and have a look. Above is the city wall of Nanjing. We were just standing here. They all belong to the Zhonghua Gate. There are many bricks with characters on the wall. This is written in Hongwu.

There are also some weapons on it. Defensive equipment at the time These are Ming cannons. I don’t know if it was preserved in the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, it looks like it has a certain age. This is sealed. Let’s just say it was left over from the Ming Dynasty. That’s almost 600 years old.

Let’s stand on it and take a look at the Zhonghua Gate. It’s a complete defense system. A city gate has three urns. This is very rare. Then this piece. It is the Nanjing City Wall connecting the Zhonghua Gate. Very broad It feels like the city wall of Shaanxi. Because of Shaanxi and Nanjing.

They were built in the Ming Dynasty. Then go to the Nanjing City Wall and the Zhonghua Gate. I’m almost done. The most interesting thing to come here today Is to see the legendary cornucopia. That’s all for this video. Thank you very much I’ll see you in the next video.
