The arch tower, also known as the South Gate building, was built on the south gate wall of Changping gate in Xuanhua. It was built in the Ming and Yongle years. It is solid and simple. It is the essence of urban defense construction. It is the only ancient city gate building in Xuanhua. It is now a key cultural relic unit under national protection.
Introduction to architecture
Gongji tower, also known as the South Gate Tower, stands on the Changping gate of Xuanhua's south gate. Located at the southernmost end of Xuanhua South Street Pedestrian Commercial Street, it is on the same axis with the second floor of zhenshuo (Drum Tower) and Qingyuan (bell tower). It was named genglou in Ming Dynasty and gongjilou in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, which means Gongwei Shenjing, defending the northern border and preventing foreign invasion. Gongji building was built in the Yongle period of Ming Dynasty (1403-1424 A.D.) and rebuilt in the Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty. The wall connecting the city is 24 meters high, and there is a north-south hole under it. There are seven gates in Xuanhua ancient city in Ming Dynasty, but only Changping gate is built. It is the one with the highest shape and the strongest defense. The original Changping gate is grand and grand, which is the pride of Xuanhua people. However, during the "Cultural Revolution" period, a large number of ancient city walls were demolished. Only the Changping gate and the Gongji tower above the original 24 Li ancient city wall survived, but the dongxima Road, Wengcheng, Jianlou, waiwaiyuecheng and Guancheng, which were together with the Changping gate, were demolished. This is a great pity in the history of Xuanhua! Among the existing ruins of the south city wall, the rammed earth layer on the east side was removed soon after the city bricks were stripped, and the only remaining section was wrapped with red bricks and transformed into the grandstand of Xuanhua stadium; the rammed earth on the west side still exists, but it is exposed and seriously damaged.
Gongjilou is more like an old man. It witnessed the change of dynasties and looked after the rise and fall of dynasties. Standing quietly in the south of Xuanhua, it tells the story of Xuanfu.
