Daiwang City

Daiwangcheng village, located in the northeast of Yuxian County, is the capital of the state in the spring and Autumn period. The modern Wang city wall is basically well preserved. Its plane is nearly oval. The length of the city is 3100 meters in the South and North, and 2100 meters in the East and West. The rammed earth construction of the city wall is 15-20 cm thick, which has been added over the years.

The city is uneven, with obvious rammed earth base site, which may be the site of the palace at that time. A large number of pre Han pottery pieces with rope patterns, tubes, fragments of tiles, pottery pots, pots, beans and bronze arrowheads were unearthed in the city. In the middle of the site, there is a small city, 40 meters long and 40 meters wide, and the wall is 11 meters high. It is said that it was the palace city of Dai Wangjia. Walking through the Daiwang City, you can see the ruins of the ancient city wall. There are now 19 natural villages scattered in the ancient city circle. Many village names are related to the city ruins, such as "nanmenzi", "beimenzi", as well as "chengjienian", "shuimentou". From these ancient village names, it is not difficult to imagine the magnificence of Jiumen and Jiuguan at that time. Although after thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, coupled with man-made destruction, it has lost the image of "forest barrier". However, the remains of the ancient city still seem to be continuous, like a creeping dragon, surrounding the present Daiwang city.
