Discussion On Water Wells And Public Life In Chang'an City In Tang Dynasty

There are many wells in Tang Chang’an City,distributed in the palace area and Lifang district.Among them,the palace area includes Darning Palace and Xingqing Palace,Lifang District includes the West City,The East City and the Temple,Guan,Palace,Gong and other religious sites.Through the statistics and combing of the wells in the palace area and Lifang district,95 wells are implemented in the specific location of the area in which they are located,and the overall distribution characteristics of wells in Tang Chang’an City are discussed at a macro level,i.e.all distributed in the northern part of the city,and the wells are located close to the commercial center and political center.The palace area has 36 wells,close to the cloisters,toilets,or places where the army is housed.Wells are more than 1 meter caliber,mostly round or oval,there are brick well ring or well pavilion and other facilities.Lifang area wells are mostly round and oval,the diameter is generally less than 1 meter.Lifang area a total of 59 wells,Northwestern University Museum complex site excavation density is larger,Lifang District wells only J23 and Xuanpingfang in a well is brick,the rest of the residual situation is all earth wall,some well walls have foot nest.In general,the well shape system is closely related to its location,population use and water use.In this paper,three typical areas,Pingkangfang,Xingqing Palace and the actual temple,are selected to analyze the wells in these three areas.Pingkangfang wellhighlights lifang’s cross layout and lane distribution,reflecting the class and population density of the population used.From the location relationship between the Xingqing Palace well and the surrounding building,the nature of the surrounding building is inferred,thus helping to presume the nature of the West Ear Chamber with similar positional relationship.The unearthed cultural relics of the wells unearthed on the south-east side of the base groove of the actual temple and the 10th floor are related to the actual temple,so it can be seen that religious activities as part of the public life of the people,the wells have a wide range of participation and influence effect.Judging from the relationship between the well and the population density:the pattern of the former city is the pattern around the east city of Xicheng.Wells provide water for daily use and for handicrafts and commerce.Water consumption is much greater than in other areas where water is used for simple living.There was a large crowd here because of the commercial activities.Around trade and crowds,pubs,restaurants,hotels,brothels,hotels and mansions,wells provide basic security for living and commercial water.In addition,the Western City has a large number of western and Central Asian businessmen to trade here,increasing the population density of the region.So the number of wells around the city is more numerous,and closely around the West City is a semi-enclosed distribution.The reasons for the distribution of wells in public space are economic reasons,resource saokies,commercial and handicrafts operations,population density reasons,etc.In order to adapt to the corresponding population,population characteristics,use purposes,etc.,its shape has changed.The participation of wells in public life is very high,whether it is the palace area or Lifang district,the public life in Tang Chang’an city can not be separated from water,it is inseparable from the well.Water is involved in all aspects of public life,and wells are also involved,despite their varying numbers and shapes.These public activities are open,public,public,extensive and participatory.No matter what kind of public activities,the corresponding people need to participate in a certain occasion,so the well and location,surrounding buildings,use of the population and population density have a close relationship.These factors,in turn,affect the shape of wells,building materials,well facilities,etc.Through the discussion of the wells in Chang’an,the social public life of the people in the city is reflected in one way.
