Like the Golden Gate, the Gate is not among the ancient Eight Gates. However, the difference is that during the Song Dynasty, the Gate of Fengmen already existed, so it is said that it is an ancient city gate, which is also deserved. The farmland and aquatic products near Fengmen are particularly rich, especially the Eight Immortals of Water, which are still talked about by the general public. The origin of the name of the city gate is derived from the rich names of aquatic products. At that time, the outside of the city was full of ruddy white, which was called 菰葑 in ancient times, so it was renamed Fengmen.

Snake Gate, the location of the back gate of today's Osmanthus Park. It was set up for a clear purpose, to guard against the Yue state to the south. Unfortunately, it backfired, and it was Yue Guo who finally destroyed the State of Wu. Among the many gates that have been restored today, the Snake Gate should be relatively low-key, and even many tourists have not witnessed it. The city wall that surrounds the entire exhibition hall, the other introduced city gates have wood carvings, but the position of the snake gate lacks the carving shape of the city gate, is it accidentally missed? It's unbelievable.

Among the many city gates, Panmen should be regarded as the most authentic ancient city gate. In particular, the scenic spot contains a combination of three scenic spots, and the volume is extraordinary. Ruiguang Pagoda unearthed many national treasure-level cultural relics, and the Only Unique Water and Land City Gate remains in the Panmen City Tower, which adds a lot of points to the high specifications of the three views of Panmen. Because it is a military fortress, the actual rulers of the city have made many repairs to the Panmen City Gate area. These included both orthodox court officials and rebel leaders who had temporarily acquired local jurisdiction. From the electronic display, you can browse the legends and stories of the city gate, the evolution of the pattern and the origin of the name.
The story behind what you want to know can be found here. The Panmen area is also known as the Cold Water Panmen because it is relatively deserted. Because of this, the gates and walls were relatively better protected. At the end of the Sino-Japanese War, the Dongying people wanted to seize the bustling Zhangmen area as a concession, and in desperation, they were finally quietly replaced near the sparsely populated Panmen. Like the Snake Gate, the purpose of the pan gate is mainly to deploy strategic defenses against the Vietnamese country. Although it backfired, as a great building, it is the crystallization of the wisdom and hard work of designers and countless craftsmen.

There is a waterway of the Xu River next to the Xu Gate, with a wharf and a reception pavilion for officials, which was a station for receiving officials in ancient times. In another sense, it also represents the face of the city. Therefore, a small garden in line with the characteristics of Jiangnan Water Town has been specially set up in the station, which is impressive, called Baihuazhou. Wu Zixu, as a model of loyalty, was given to hang his head on the tower of Xumen after his death.
The rapid spread of this allusion also spread, and Xu Men's reputation also spread. In ancient times, the building materials used to build the city walls were mainly rammed earth. This is layer after layer of reinforced soil, and the structure is very tight.

In addition, the sense of plane of rammed earth is very strong, and the upper and lower layers feel very layered.

Around the ancient city walls, many artifacts were also excavated during the restoration. Some of them became fragments, but it still seemed to be possible to imagine the style of the complete artifact. The porcelain of the Five Dynasties period looks relatively low in craftsmanship, and the appearance of porcelain is coarse and does not feel delicate. In the late five generations, the excavated porcelain, the level of craftsmanship has made great progress. The black glaze applied to the inside of the porcelain looks very flat and smooth.
The porcelain jars of the Tang Dynasty look more mature, the texture is fine, and there is already a colored glaze applied. Porcelain of the Song Dynasty, the shape of the vessel is full, the color is very uniform. Look at the green on the left, as if the lotus leaves in the pool are faintly wafting with fragrance. The porcelain bowls of the Song Dynasty are very pure in color, like white porcelain, with circle feet and a layer of glaze on the edge of the mouth. Porcelain of the Song Dynasty has been classified according to use and applied to all aspects of life. The oil lamp fragment on the left is still speckled, which looks like a utility that has been used. The blue and white porcelain of the Qing Dynasty looks like the objects of the folk kiln, and the ornamentation on it is very rough and colorful.
