The Stone City was the site where Nanjing commenced its history as an important capital city of China. It is of great significance to the study of the history of the Six Dynasties and Nanjing＇ s urban development. Nanjing Research Institute of Cultural Relics conducted investigation, exploration and test excavations at the area of Qingliang Mountain from July 1998 to February 1999. A series of archaeological research has demonstrated that the earth wall located in current Qingliang Mountain area is the remains of the Stone City wall from the Six Dynasties. The wall was firstly built in the Eastern Wu time and was extended after the Eastern Jin period. It was around the period of the Five Dynasties or Northern Song that the city wall was abandoned.
