In 2001-2002, the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, excavated the ruined main gate Changhemen of the Northern Wei palace-city on the Han-Wei Luoyang city-site. The work revealed all remains of the gate foundations, the left and right towers in front of the gate, the square between the towers, and parts of the courtyards on the western and eastern sides of the gate. The unique structure and layout of the gate towers display strong chronological features and special function with dignity above defense, which exerted great influence upon later buildings of this sort. The gate was constructed in the Cao Wei period. Its discovery has great value to inquiry into the form and location of the Luoyanggong Palace built in the early Cao Wei period as well as the location of the Han period North Palace in ancient Luoyang City.展开更多

Through the excavation it can be affirmed that the building is a large-sized pavilion-style palace-gate with three passageways of the Northern Wei period and shares the same shape and structure with the Changhemen Gate,the first,main entrance of the palace-city. The two gates must have been designed in a package planning. The discovery has great importance to researching into the layout of Northern Wei Luoyang Capital and the evolution of the architecture of ancient Chinese capitals.展开更多

They revealed the southern palace-city wall, the eastern and western walls of the west partitioned city, the eastern wall of the east partitioned city, the southern wall of the Xuanwu City, and the eastern and western walls of the east city. The results show that the palace-city walls can be divided into two phases and the palace-city of Sui-Tang Luoyang was built at least twice, and that the walls of the partitioned cities are thinner, ordinary partitions. The discoveries provided important material data for clarifying the plan layout of the palace-city of Sui-Tang Lyoyang and its changes.展开更多

It lies in the west-east city wail between the Yuanbi and Yaoyi sub-cities in the northern part of the palace city of the Sui-Tang period Luoyang. The remains include city-gate platforms and their foundation-trenches. Besides, ruins of city wails were discovered stretching away from the western and eastern sides of the platforms.展开更多
