Pre-construction excavations of the ancient city wall located at the Qinglian Shangjie in Chengdu City,conducted by the Chengdu City Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology,uncovered the southeastern corner of the ancient Luocheng city dating to the Tang,Song,Ming,and Qing periods.The city wall of the Tang and Song includes three features:a south wall,corner tower,and tunnel.The latter two features were removed during the Ming and Qing periods,leaving a corner directly formed by the south and east walls.Foundational trenches were dug into the ground,upon which earth walls were built,covered by bricks and surrounded by gravel pavement.The city wall of the Tang Dynasty was repaired during the Song Dynasty without changes to its plan.The city wall of the Ming Dynasty was built with rammed earth directly on the Yuan Dynasty cultural layer.A large number of pebbles was intentionally mixed into the lower two layers of rammed earth to consolidate the foundation.The city wall underwent more repairs during the Qing Dynasty,including the addition of cornerstones,brick covers,and gravel pavement.There were no fundamental changes in the location or orientation of the city wall through time.
