For a historian, personally to the ancient, that is the greatest expectation, from the historical documents, from the paintings of ancient book painters, they understand that it should be processed things, really walk in the corridor of history, feel, is really intoxicating, moving scenery, Song Dynasty scenery unlimited, this is the real Great Song city, not later so-called repair of the imitation of the city, imitation, perhaps according to the historical records, perhaps from the historical record, perhaps is the choice of the end of the Qingming.

Reality and the collision of thinking, many before the unausified ideas, become the real reality, for example, in the future generations often have the assessment of scholars, in ancient times, most of the county or capital, are earthenth walls, at most are added to some stones, let him more solid, but in Zhao Xin saw the southern music wall, but it is green brick construction, neat and solid, this also shows from the side, some important cities, basically did not contribute to the record, if it is a mud wall, it is likely to collapse under the attack, it is likely to collapse under the attack.Attack of the car.

Nanle city wall, looks more neat, in some functional above, even more solid than the future generations of the wall, the future of China's seven walls, most of the seven walls in the Ming Dynasty, the only is the Southern Song Dynasty built in the Shouzhou city, almost the military town to the extreme, moat, suspension bridge, corner tower, police auxiliary and city towering of the lookout and shooting hole.In ancient times, it was described as "Golden City Tangchi" or "Indusality", and in history, there is a saying of "Tie Tsing Shouzhou City", and it is the wall of Shouzhou that many scholars who study Song history have quarreled with the city wall.

Among these scholars, many people believe that the Song Dynasty has appeared blue brick walls, but less, only in large cities, such as the Northern Song Dynasty, such as the Northern Song Dynasty, for example, military towns, important cities on the Liaoning border, important cities on the western Xia border, these places are to experience war, there is not enough protection, it is easy to be broken under the premise, that is a huge waste, so will invest huge sums of money, build cities, but some inland areas are not so important, there is no need, generally will not experience war.

However, some scholars said that the city itself represents the performance of officials, a good city, will make an official's performance performance excellent, in the state capital or county with surplus food, the construction of the city is the most convenient way, this point, also got some literature support, for example, the canal around some of the more rich city state, there are also expansion of the city said.

Both arguments are supported by literature, and the feasibility is also verified, so some disputes are endless, if Zhao Xin can still publish a paper to the school, he can justly say that most of the canal cities in Northern Song have cast walls, and not cultivated, but blue bricks and large-scale walls, they are not defensive, but built for construction.

Starting from the liang, in addition to the first few days, the back all the way through the seven county towns, all built a huge wall, which shows that this is not a single act, most of them are based on the highest standards of construction.Nanle back to the big name, especially, out of the dock, here a little higher, you can see the situation in the opposite county, high corner buildings and city blocks, and above it seems that you can see the whole A soldier, Zhao Xin can't help but admire, a strong city.Next to the canal, there is naturally a canal-based moat, the moat guards the city, and the wall above the suspension bridge, corner tower, police auxiliary and the towering hole and shooting hole are also available, which is particularly in place.

In addition to the strong war potential, Nanle is also an important commercial county, the county is the core location is the inner city, living in the elite, in the Song Dynasty, the people are more rich, but in addition to the four Beijing such a super big city, other small and medium-sized cities, there are not many residents, even if Beijing famous house, the city wall is only a little more than 3.6 km, count down, a city called the important city in the north, also not more than one square kilometer, really want to live, can live.

In the Song Dynasty, the city wall, just refers to the inner city, which is the most important and core place, but the average person can not afford to live, the house price inside is too expensive, even for the county, for the first-class households below the household, they are not suitable for living in the ready-made, where a small number of first-class households and local families, official family, they together constitute the main source of the inner city.

These are the county population, this is definitely not, the population is more of a first-class household, perhaps in the more prosperous city, five or six less, but by no means no, they can not live in the city, most of them are living outside the city, the more close to the city, the more densely populated.

Take the city as the center, because the relationship between the city wall and the moat, even from the city a mile or two of the place, is the most stringent area, not allowed to build houses and open land, other places, from the city two miles, the formation of a large area of large-scale residential areas, here is often called the outer city, in some of the more defenses, surrounded by a soil fence, with a certain amount of protection, such a cost is not large, easy to give residents a sense of security, Nanle is so, close to the canal, around a less closed soil.

Because there is no first-hand information, which in the rules, should belong to the illegal building, close to the county so close to the place, generally there will be no village, so the history books and celebrities will not say more about this, but often in the telling of the population, there are problems, Liang as the capital, 1 million people is also normal, as the capital of the dynasty, Kaifeng has a total of 27 square kilometers so large, a million people, a square kilometer of about 40,000, very dense, can be considered acceptable.

But other cities, there are some problems, 200,000 cities in Jiangning, Xiangzhou, 150,000 large-name capital, the city size of the city is not hit, as Beijing's big house, the city's circumference is only 3.6 km, to square evaluation, the city will not exceed 1 square, a square will not exceed 1 square, but 150,000 people, this is not the 21st century, high-rise buildings, even two floors above the house are few, to what extent.

This is one of the larger doubts in history, some people say that it is the total number of subordinates, but the history book above the city household registration, in short, there are unexplained places, but looking at Nanle City, you can explain that the city may only have a few tenths of the population, for example, reasonable point estimate, according to a square kilometer 40,000 to calculate, the famous province may only be 30,000 or 40,000 people, Nanle area is less than 0.2 square kilometers, then, it can only be seven or eight thousand people, not more than ten thousand, the rest of the population.

Nanle County town of the inner city is small, the outside of the house village is more dense place, there are almost four or five square kilometers, of course, is the village and the field of mutual combination, relative to the city far away from the village, the more dense, the more dense, most of the village, not mainly to the clan, most of them are mixed surnames, but far from the city, sparse, there are few dozens of people, most of them are thousands of people, even thousands of villages, surnames are relatively unified.

For the vast majority of ancient people, rarely left the village, a small part of the town, only a small part of the reader, can leave the hometown, to travel or science, become the group of jumping out of the gande, as for the official, if in accordance with the Northern Song Dynasty 100 million people base, really not much, only officials, can change the fate.

The southern city.The city is also divided into different squares, which is also a very important feature of ancient times, all the official government, government agencies, and the market are concentrated in one place, far away, and the ordinary house and residence is different, it should be the town, Zhao Xin dare not be sure, in the ancient city, there is a vegetable market, ordered Shi Yong to ask the vegetable market, sure, the vegetable market really is not in the city, but outside the city, it is not a difficult place, they ask the road is not far away.
