常德古城修建史考述

On Construction History of Ancient Changde City

公元前277年秦军在今常德所筑“张若城”是古代常德建城之滥觞。东汉时“张若城”筑为武陵郡城,有一次重大的修建。此后在东吴、唐朝、五代、北宋、元朝等时期,常德古城均有过不同程度的增修。明代,常德古城始筑为砖城,奠定了此后常德古城的基本规模。抗日战争时期常德古城被毁。

The ancient Changde city originated from “Zhang Ruo Cheng” which Qin army established in 227 D.C.. “Zhang Ruo Cheng” was constructed to Wuling town in Donghan. The ancient Changde city had been constructed many times during Dongwu, Tang dynasty, Wudai, Beisong, and Yuan Dynasty. It was constructed into brick city in Ming Dynasty, which established the basic scale of ancient Changde city. The ancient Changde city had been ruined during the Anti - Japan War period.
