The Jin merchants are the earliest merchants in China, whose history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Ming and Qing dynasties were the heyday of Jin merchants, and Jin merchants became the top ten merchants in China. They have been dominant in China's business world for 500 years. The family of Jin merchants is different from the general official family, it is a traditional Chinese cultural family with the characteristics of commercial branding.

With one in the north and one in the south, two in the east and two in the west, and a small South Gate to the west of the South Gate, Pingyao's seven gates of the city wall make up the city's gate status, which is evident from the fact that there are many gates. The number of gates is determined by the size and shape of the city, its administrative hierarchy, and the situation of commerce and transportation. Four gates is the general scale of the county. That is, in the center of each of the four walls open one. The depressed trees on the square of Yingxunmen, together with the city wall that stretches into the depths can't help but make people feel a kind of bleakness and sadness.

The extra gates in Pingyao's city walls have little to do with the administrative hierarchy, but are set up because of the transportation situation. The Pingyao city wall faces south, but the north-south transportation corridor crosses the old city from east to west. Firstly, the east-west direction is extremely important in terms of geography, and secondly, since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Pingyao County has been the birthplace of Shanxi's important trade and financial industries, with many rich and influential people gathering here. The throughput of commerce and trade was beyond the reach of neighboring counties.

Pingyao city wall in the east and west aperture each set up two gates from these two reasons will not be difficult to understand.

In Taiyuan City, Dongshan Haozhuang on a high hill, there is a Yongzuo Temple, the temple stood two towers, less than 50 meters away from each other, reflecting each other, constituting a double tower over the sky spectacle, and thus the Yongzuo Temple is commonly known as the Twin Towers Temple. The two towers are not built by the Royal, not at the same time, not built by Foden, two towers coexist in the landscape, but also not the original intention of the builders.
