Q:
What is "Moon City"
A:
"Yuecheng" is Wengcheng. In ancient times, the big city was called "Richeng" and the small city was called "Yuecheng". The original city of "Yuecheng" was more than 70 feet long, one feet two feet high and nine feet wide. The existing Yuecheng covers an area of 128 square meters. The doorway and city wall made of striped stones are about 60 meters long. The gate is about 3.8 meters high and 3.4 meters deep. It is built by arched striped stones.
The front gate of "Yuecheng" has "Haiyu Yi'an" on the front gate, and there is a stone monument at the side of the door: "Additional Zhaobaoshan Yuecheng Monument", both of which were written by Zhejiang Admiral Ouyang Li during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty!
Q:
The history of "Yuecheng"
A:
In the 9th year of Guangxu (1883), when the admiral Ouyang Li of Zhejiang saw Zhenhai’s appointment, he first inspected the coastal defense facilities of Zhaobaoshan. He believed that Weiyuan City was built too high and the fortresses were too exposed, and the enemy was easy to spot at sea. Surrounded by mountains, the mountains cannot meet each other, and Zhaobaoshan will be difficult to keep for a long time. Therefore, he built a moon city at the continuation of Weiyuan City on the mountainside, connected with the whole mountain.
During the construction of the Moon City, in order to achieve the purpose of concealment, it was specially designed to be low and low, so that the enemy ships on the sea in the distance could not see the Moon City, and there were four cannons on the Moon City. The setting of "Moon City" not only enhances the defense of the city gates, but also embodies the Taoist thought of the design and builder of "national advantage, not showing to people".
Q:
The role of "Yuecheng"
A:
Wengcheng is one of the main defense facilities of ancient cities. Wengcheng built outside the city can be used to cover the city gate and strengthen the defense. In other words, Yuecheng is the small city of Weiyuan City. Don’t underestimate this small outer city. In ancient wars, Wengcheng played a very important role.
When the enemy came and attacked Moon City, if the gates of Weiyuan City and Moon City were closed, the defenders could form a tendency of "catching turtles in the urn" against the enemy. They played a role in the Zhaobaoshan Anti-French War and the Moon City during the Anti-Japanese War. Had a huge effect.
Nowadays, it is rare to see the well-preserved ancient city wall, and the ancient city wall military facility Urn City has disappeared from people’s sight even earlier. As the only preserved Urn City in Zhenhai, "Moon City", its architecture The craftsmanship is exquisite, and it has high scientific and artistic value for the research of early military construction facilities in eastern Zhejiang.
