Dong'anmen Ming Imperial Palace Relics

The former Ming Dynasty Emperor Donganmen City is now only a ruins Ming Dynasty Yongle Emperor moved to Beijing, and then continued construction of Beijing City, gradually forming the structure of the inner city, outer city, imperial city, palace city four-city pool, inner city has nine gates: Deshengmen, Andingmen, Dongzhimen, Chaoyangmen, Chongwenmen, Zhengyangmen, Xuanwumen, Yuanchengmen, Xizhimen, there are seven gates in the outer city: Dongbianmen, Guangqumen, Zuo'anmen, Yongdingmen, Right'anmen, Guangningmen, Xibianmen, and the imperial city has four gates: Di'anmen, Dong'anmen, Damingmen, Xi'anmen. That is, "the inner nine outside the seven emperors of the city four", in addition, the palace is the Forbidden City and there are six doors: Chengtianmen, Duanmen, Wumen, Xihuamen, Donghuamen, Shenwumen. The East Emperor Wall was built in the 18th year of Ming Yongle (1420), and the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Gate of the East Dong'anmen was originally west of the Yuhe River, the river outside the wall, Xuande seven years (1432) eastward, the Yuhe wrapped into the wall, the door has a stone arch bridge across the Yuhe River, because officials saw the upper court, all from Dong'anmen into the palace, so commonly known as the bridge "Wang En Bridge" or "Huang En Bridge". Dong'anmen was burned in 1912 when Yuan Shikai manipulated the Beiyang Army during the mutiny, and from 1926 to 1927, the Ministry of Interior of the Beiyang Government demolished the imperial wall for sale, and Dong'anlimen was demolished at the same time. Today's Dong'anmen ruins, just in front of the famous Wangfu Century Building, are a sinking display area. The introduction is below the road surface. There are stairs to go down to the site area. The area below is not large. You can watch a few small sections of the Ming City Wall site surrounded by glass fences. In addition, there are reliefs of the Imperial City Root Relics Park on the wall. If you look carefully, it will not take ten minutes. There are really few sites left. To be honest, the entire Beijing has retained the Ming City Wall is very, very few, only the section of Chongwenmen to the southeast corner building is still some scale, in addition, the West Bianmen has a small section of dozens of meters, like the Donganmen ruins, which need special protection. Historical relics. From this to the west a block to the Forbidden City Donghua Gate, where tourists are gathered at any time, but so many tourists are almost no one interested in the same history 100 meters away from the site of the East Gate of the Imperial City, making it very deserted. But think about ten years ago, I worked in Jinbao Street for three years, almost every day riding a bicycle from here, but I didn't think about the way to see where this sinking area in front of the Wangfu Century Gate is, let alone the tourists in the south and the north. To the north of the site is a strip-shaped street park, where nearby residents and office workers rest and exercise. The sixth season cafeteria in the Wangfu Century occasionally heard the sound of a call. It was quite lively, and it was considered to be a majesty for hundreds of years. Now the only remaining site of Donganmen added some anger.

The East Emperor Wall was built in the 18th year of Mingyongle (1420), and the wall was headed north and south, with Dong'an Gate. In 1926, the East Emperor Wall and Dong'an Gate were demolished in 1927. In 2001, the exact location of the East Emperor Wall and Dong'an Gate was found through archaeological excavations. A 25-metre-long wall was restored in the north section and two sinking display areas were built to display parts of the Donganmen site.

Dong'anmen, as the name implies, is a gate of the Forbidden City in the east. Why did it become a ruin because Li Zicheng wanted to enter the Forbidden City after hitting Beijing, so he burned Dong'anmen.

Dong'anmen is one of the four gates of Beijing's imperial city, which was burned by the Beiyang Army in 1912.

A very niche attraction, it can be said that few people know. The site is located outside the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City, very close to Donghua Gate, and is the east gate of the Minghuang City in the past. FITs who visit the Forbidden City can come and see. From the existing site, the ground was lower than it is now, so that the entire site was buried under the road ground before excavation. There is no site visible on the street. From the stairs, you can walk from the street to the site floor. It is usually very quiet. You can step on the glass bridge and cross the site, feeling the vicissitudes of history.

Donganmen Ruins Park, located on the east side of the Forbidden City in Beijing, is a street park in Beijing, and is also a site found by re-building roads and other buildings, giving excavation protection and becoming a ruins park.
