The functional zoning of this site has been roughly made clear;the excavations of the western gate and important architectural foundations of the Guojiatai City Site are important archaeological discoveries of the city sites of the Han through Western Jin Dynasties, and at the ferry pass site, the checkpoint site on waterway of this period was uncovered for the first time in China. The large amounts of bamboo slips and wooden tablets unearthed in the excavation provided important materials for the explorations on the management of the central government of the Han and Jin Empires to the administrative areas of jun (commandery) and aw?(district) levels and the social lives of the local people at that time.
