北宋东京汴河东水门考

本文综合研究文献记载与考古资料,认为北宋东京汴河东水门应由河道之上的水闸门、汴河南北两岸的陆行门,以及南北拐子城所组成。拐子城,系直门两重,是为了保卫上善与通津两座陆行门和汴河漕运而建,在北宋末年抗击金人的东京保卫战中,起了重要作用。张择端《清明上河图》中所绘制的那座城门,即为汴河南岸的上善门

A Study of the Eastern Water Valve of the Bianhe River in the East Capital of the Northern Song Period

Based on literature and archaeological studies,this paper argues that the East water gate of Dongjing,the capital city of the Northern Song Dynasty, might have been composed of the water gate on the Bian river, the ground entrances along the Bian river to the south and north and the Guaizi walled - enclosures of the south and north. The Guaizi walled - enclosures, designed for protecting Shangshan and Tongjin ground entrances as well as water transportation on the Bian nver,was crucial in resistance against the invasion of the Jin people The author further points out that the entrance draw by Zhang Zeduan in his painting Qingming Shanghe Tu might have been Shangshan Gate on the southern bank of the Bian river.
