The circumference of Ruzhou City is 9 Li 13 steps. Chengyuan Road is the original East City Wall; Xi 'er Road is Neima Road in Xicheng, and its west side (now Ruzhou Bus Terminal) is the West City Wall. Cheng Nan wall is the north bank of the No.25 Yuejin Canal, which is the original south moat; The North City Wall is about 50 meters south of Guangcheng Road, and the remains of the North City Gate exist. There are moats on the east, south and north sides, which are ten feet deep and surround the city. Xicheng is naturally surrounded by the Xi 'er River at the foot of the city. Dongcheng moat has water, and the north and south moats are dry moats. The water source of Dongchenghao is in the ditch in the south of Shigang Village, just outside the northeast corner of the city. There are countless small and fragrant Koizumi at the bottom of the ditch and on both sides of the river, which converge into a stream and flow to the low-lying place in the northeast corner of the city to form a pool, and then flow into Ruhe River along the moat south.
The city wall is four feet high, and the outer edge has a city wall (that is, a wall stack). There are watchtowers in all four corners of the city. In order to meet the needs of the war, several watchtowers were built on the wall of the northern city. There is a horse path around the city, which is used to transmit information and orders to the sergeant guarding the city.
Ruzhou originally had three gates: East, West and North. During the restoration of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, the south gate was opened to facilitate people's access. All four doors are built with urns (also known as Moon City), which are buildings with three eaves in the east and west buildings and two eaves in the north and south. The four doors are not in the middle, and the east and west doors are all south, which is about one third of the south. The south gate is located in the east third of the south city wall, and the north gate is more inclined, only about 50 meters away from the west city wall.
Ruzhou has only three levels: East, West and South. The north gate is almost uninhabited, with only five or six families, so there is no north gate. Dongguan Street is about 3 miles long, and there is a two-eaved attic at the eastern end, which is called "Laiqing Pavilion" (under the western slope of the junction of Dongguan Street and Donghuan Road). Legend has it that new officials usually enter from the east gate when they take office. The first one they entered was the East Gate, which means all the officials came. The list in the cupboard says "You Fu Lou". People who are "blessed" are trustworthy, honest and persuasive, and may be persuasive and live up to expectations. In the north of the pavilion, there is an official hall for state officials to welcome your officials, or for state officials to make symbolic farmland in the fields outside the customs every spring, and to rest when the cattle enter the city. The ancestral hall is next to the Guanting, and the theater is opposite. There is also an attic and two eaves in the middle section of Dongguan Street (west of Houmaozhuangkou). Xiguan street is about 2 miles long, and there is a two-eaves attic at the west end. Because it is enshrined in it, people call it "Guan". Nanguan was the avenue from Nanyang to Luoyang in ancient times, so it was crowded and prosperous, with many shops and clean streets. In the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, a village was built, with three walls in the east, west and south, and a wall in the north. There are three Zhaimen, the Dongcheng moat is outside Dongzhimen, and a stone bridge extends to the south, which is called "Yuhu Bridge". The north and south sides of the bridge are respectively equipped with stone bibcock and dragon tail, which are lifelike. The inscription in Xizhaimen Village is called Xuanyi. Outside the village gate is the Shel River. There is no bridge because the water is not big.
