郑州商城城门探寻

An Exploration on the Gate of Zhengzhou Shang City Site

郑州商城的内城已发现近60年,但尚无一处城门得以确认。根据已知的11处缺口,我们推断该城是南北各一门、东西各二门的六门三街式格局。通过分析现代郑州的商城遗痕,断定老城的东、西二门与东、西、北三大街,以及老城北门外的紫荆山路、北侧的城北路均是由商城的主街传承下来的。郑州商城内城与偃师商城的最初格局完全一致,为观察二者的关系提供了新的视点。

Since the discovery of the inner city of the Zhengzhou Shang City Site, almost sixty years ago, none of the locations of the gates have been confirmed. According to the eleven gaps present on the city wall, the author concludes that the inner city has six gates and three streets, two were located on the northern and southern walls, and four were located on the eastern and western walls. Based on the analysis of the present Zhengzhou wall facade, the eastern and western gates inclined with the east, west and north streets in the old Zhengzhou layout. Both the Zijingshan road and Chengbei road were the original location of the Shang City roads. The initial layout of the inner city ofZhengzhou Shang City was exactly the same as Yanshi Shang City plan, which offers a new perspective to examine the corre- lation between these two cities, and raises a new question, whether the six-gate structure was the primary layout in planning capital cities of during the Shang dynasty？
