(二)春秋淹城旅游區各景點介紹
春(chun)秋淹(yan)城旅游區的(de)文化(hua)原點,是有(you)著兩千多年歷史的(de)淹(yan)城遺址。
淹城(cheng)遺址位于江蘇(su)省常(chang)州(zhou)市(shi)武進區中心城(cheng)區湖塘(tang)鎮大(da)壩行(xing)政村,占(zhan)地(di)一千畝,考古(gu)確認(ren)為春秋時(shi)期所筑。淹城(cheng)古(gu)稱“奄”國(guo),建于春秋晚期,距今有2500余年(nian)的歷史。
淹(yan)(yan)(yan)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)是(shi)我國(guo)目前春秋晚期城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)池遺存中(zhong)保(bao)存較為(wei)(wei)完整(zheng)的(de)一座古(gu)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)遺址。從(cong)(cong)里向外(wai),它由(you)子(zi)(zi)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)、子(zi)(zi)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)河(he)(he)(he),內(nei)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)、內(nei)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)河(he)(he)(he),外(wai)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)、外(wai)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)河(he)(he)(he)三城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)三河(he)(he)(he)相套組成(cheng)。因(yin)為(wei)(wei)當時的(de)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng),大(da)多為(wei)(wei)一城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)一河(he)(he)(he),少數是(shi)兩(liang)(liang)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)一河(he)(he)(he)或兩(liang)(liang)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)兩(liang)(liang)河(he)(he)(he),而三城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)三河(he)(he)(he),在國(guo)內(nei)僅此一家。子(zi)(zi)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng),呈(cheng)方形,周(zhou)長(chang)(chang)500米(mi)(mi);內(nei)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng),呈(cheng)方形,周(zhou)長(chang)(chang)1500米(mi)(mi);外(wai)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng),呈(cheng)不規則橢圓形,周(zhou)長(chang)(chang)2500米(mi)(mi)。另外(wai),淹(yan)(yan)(yan)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)外(wai)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)河(he)(he)(he)的(de)外(wai)側還有一道(dao)外(wai)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)廓,周(zhou)長(chang)(chang)3500米(mi)(mi)。淹(yan)(yan)(yan)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)東(dong)西長(chang)(chang)850米(mi)(mi),南北寬(kuan)(kuan)750米(mi)(mi),總面(mian)積約65萬平方米(mi)(mi)。淹(yan)(yan)(yan)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)面(mian)積的(de)大(da)小,適與《孟子(zi)(zi)》“三里之城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng),七里之廓”的(de)記載(zai)相吻合。淹(yan)(yan)(yan)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)的(de)三道(dao)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)墻(qiang),均系(xi)用開挖城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)河(he)(he)(he)所出之土堆(dui)筑(zhu)而成(cheng)。其方法是(shi)從(cong)(cong)平地(di)起筑(zhu),充分利用當地(di)土質(zhi)粘(zhan)性大(da)的(de)恃點,不挖基(ji)(ji)槽,亦(yi)不經(jing)夯打(da),僅一層一層往上堆(dui)筑(zhu),個別地(di)方鋪一層干(gan)土,鋪一層濕土,依次相間,以(yi)加(jia)固(gu)墻(qiang)體。因(yin)不依版筑(zhu),故墻(qiang)體較寬(kuan)(kuan)。淹(yan)(yan)(yan)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)的(de)三道(dao)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)墻(qiang)均呈(cheng)梯形,現高(gao)3—5米(mi)(mi),墻(qiang)基(ji)(ji)寬(kuan)(kuan)30—40米(mi)(mi),三護城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)河(he)(he)(he)平均深4米(mi)(mi)左右,寬(kuan)(kuan)30—50米(mi)(mi)。
