In ancient times, the city was surrounded by walls and moats for defense. In the Gomao era, the city was very important.
The map of the famous mountain county recorded in the "Records of Mingshan County" (Qing · Guangxu Edition) was established in the second year of the abolition of the Western Wei Emperor (553), and was named Mengshan County. In the thirteenth year of Emperor Wen of Sui (593), it was changed to Mingshan County. In the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, it was not until the thirteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1380) that the territory of the county was fixed and belonged to Yazhou. The county governs the city wall, and the northwest crosses the Yuehua Mountain (commonly known as the Confucian Temple Mountain). The creek on the right side of the mountain flows from the north to the south. The southeast ring water is a pool. In the eighth year of Ming orthodoxy (1443), the earth city was built, with the east gate and the west gate. In the forty-second year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1563), Fan Yuankai, the county governor, repaired and supplemented, and built four gates. East Gate masonry stone; As the south gate for the longevity of the house; Because the stream is scattered, the West Gate is to build a broken hill and introduce the reverse swim into the Shuncheng River; The north gate is in Yuehua Mountain. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty (1644), the peasants rebelled, besieged the official mansion, and the city was destroyed. In the sixteenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1659), Zhang Yuankai of Jiannan Daotai recruited Qiong and Ya, and stopped the famous mountain. Later, he recorded in "Rebuilding the Governance of Famous County Counties": "The soldiers in the Ming season are fierce, and the county governance is abolished." Those who go to Lingziyi are only in the broken grass and grass, and they are punished with thatched houses. With a few pieces of bamboo fences, fences to protect the official office, a few branches of grass, to cover the affairs of the hall! Youyun: "The moats are ignored, there is no prohibition on comings and goings, and there are tigers and leopards hidden in the suburbs." "Since the fourth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1665), Li Yingzong, the magistrate of the county, appeased hundreds of displaced families and persuaded them to reclaim a number of hectares of barrenness. When the time and the year are abundant, it is to search for money, donate corn, raise workers in the city, do not disturb the hoe, and rebuild the stone city. It is seven feet high, seven points on Thursday, and eight hundred and forty-two feet. In the eighth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1669), Zhu Jingchen of Zhixian County expanded. In the first year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1723), the north gate of Xu Yuanxi of Zhixian County was blocked, and the south gate was next to the water, and there were few pedestrians; However, the east and west gates are the main roads leading to Tibet, and the rain collapses, the earth and stones fill in the silt, and it is inconvenient to come and go. So the construction was carried out, and the workers were hired to fill in the solid and rebuild the four gates. The east gate, because of the connection to the Qingyun Bridge (now the big board bridge), is called "Qingyun Gate"; The north gate, in Yuehua Mountain, is called "Yuehua Gate". All four gates are built with castle towers. In the third year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1798), Sun Zhenru of Zhixian County was named: the east gate was called "Damu Zhongling", and the west gate was called "Mengshan Tingxiu". In the second year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1876), Song Dakui of Zhixian County was more south gate as the "civilization gate". The north gate has been closed for a long time, and forts are arranged for defense. In the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China (1938), due to the passing of automobiles, the east and west doors that hindered the driving were demolished. In October 1973, the state-owned Mingshan Distillery was expanded and the south gate was removed. The north gate was also demolished, and the current city has disappeared.
