- Abstract:
- By opening or closing the door of Fang to resist drought or flood is one of the most characteristics to the sacrifice space of Chang’an city. It’s proved archaeologically that 36 Fang located on the north of Huangcheng didn’t have north or south door, which makes it become a very unique sacrifice space to other Fang. Due to the cohesive action of Zhuquejie as the “imperial road”, the sacrificing essence of the 36 Fang was mainly expressed by the activities organized by Jingzhaoyi along the line of Zhuquejie, Taishe and Mingdemen. Consequently, to some degree, Zhuquejie should be regarded as the out surround of sacrificing space of the imperial city. These two kinds of Fang in Chang’an city represent the whole structure of the sacrifice space.
