————————————— Belem City

Bairen City, located in Shuangpi Township in the west of Longyao County, is a famous historical city in the Spring and Autumn Period with a history of more than 2,600 years. It is one of the rare ancient city pools in North China.

Bairen City is a rammed earth building, facing the water in the north, surrounded by mountains on three sides and surrounded by mountains and waters. The dangerous situation has always been valued by military strategists in past dynasties.

The total length of the city wall is 80 17 meters, and the city profile area is about 4 square kilometers.

The east wall is 2,225m long, the west wall is 145 1 m long, the south wall is1915m long, and the north wall is 2,425m long, with an average thickness of 15. 1 m, the highest point of 9.

The rammed soil layer of the city wall is about 10 cm, and every 60 cm high is covered with a layer of cross bars, and the spacing between the cross bars is 30-60cm, which is equivalent to the steel bars used in modern buildings.

There are 9 city gates in this city, including/kloc-0 in the north, 2 in the south and 3 in the east and west.

The city walls are like rolling mountains, and you can see the great plains of Pingchou and the misty trees and shadows of Yancun. The scenery is picturesque, which makes people relaxed and happy, with lofty aspirations.

After a rough estimation of the above-ground part of the existing ancient city, the earthwork accumulation alone is more than 165438+ 10,000 cubic meters.

In ancient times when productivity was low and technology was underdeveloped, it was a great feat to complete such a huge project.

During the Warring States Period, Bairen City has developed into a relatively prosperous military town in northern Zhao, where there are pottery kilns and a large number of Shang and Zhou pottery.

There are many ancient tombs of the Warring States and the Han Dynasty around the city, but many pottery pots, bronze mirrors, copper belt hooks, bronze swords, iron swords, jade hooks and agate ornaments of the Warring States period have not been excavated from the tombs.

In recent years, a copper "knife coin" popular in the Warring States period was also found in the site of Bairencheng, and the words "Bai (Tongbai) people" were cast on the knife coin.

According to experts' research, at that time, there were only two places in Zhao State, Handan and Boren, casting copper coins.

This is an important symbol of Belem's economic prosperity and commercial development during the Warring States period.
