閶闔門
閶(chang)闔門(men)(men)是北魏(wei)宮(gong)城(cheng)的(de)正(zheng)(zheng)(zheng)門(men)(men),其(qi)北面正(zheng)(zheng)(zheng)對(dui)宮(gong)城(cheng)正(zheng)(zheng)(zheng)殿(dian)太(tai)極殿(dian);南面為御道銅駝(tuo)街,并直通內(nei)城(cheng)正(zheng)(zheng)(zheng)門(men)(men)宣陽門(men)(men)。閶(chang)闔門(men)(men)始建于曹魏(wei)明帝時(shi)期,西晉(jin)、北魏(wei)時(shi)沿用。
閶(chang)闔(he)門(men)北面正對宮城(cheng)正殿(dian)太(tai)極殿(dian);南面為(wei)(wei)御道(dao)銅(tong)駝(tuo)大街,并直通內城(cheng)正門(men)宣陽門(men)。作為(wei)(wei)象征(zheng)帝王威(wei)儀的(de)(de)(de)禮儀性建筑,閶(chang)闔(he)門(men)是舉行(xing)帝王登基、接(jie)見四方(fang)朝(chao)貢(gong)者等重大活(huo)動的(de)(de)(de)地方(fang),極少(shao)用于通行(xing)。洛陽市(shi)閶(chang)闔(he)門(men)遺址是為(wei)(wei)止考古(gu)發(fa)掘出的(de)(de)(de)年代(dai)早的(de)(de)(de)都(dou)城(cheng)宮城(cheng)正門(men),閶(chang)闔(he)門(men)的(de)(de)(de)左右(you)雙闕也(ye)是迄(qi)今為(wei)(wei)止發(fa)掘所見早的(de)(de)(de)宮城(cheng)門(men)闕。
東漢時期,城(cheng)內主要宮(gong)(gong)殿為南(nan)宮(gong)(gong)和北(bei)(bei)宮(gong)(gong)。曹魏(wei)、西(xi)晉變(bian)化不大。北(bei)(bei)魏(wei)時建(jian)立了單獨的(de)(de)(de)宮(gong)(gong)城(cheng)。北(bei)(bei)魏(wei)的(de)(de)(de)宮(gong)(gong)城(cheng)位于城(cheng)內北(bei)(bei)中部,南(nan)北(bei)(bei)長1398米,東西(xi)寬(kuan)660米,占全城(cheng)總面積十分(fen)之(zhi)一左右,是重要的(de)(de)(de)中心建(jian)筑區。宮(gong)(gong)城(cheng)的(de)(de)(de)南(nan)、
東、西三面(mian)城(cheng)門(men)(men)(men)已找(zhao)到,南門(men)(men)(men)也稱閶闔門(men)(men)(men),門(men)(men)(men)洞闕口寬約46米,門(men)(men)(men)兩側(ce)有厚大的夯(hang)(hang)筑土闕,形制雄偉;東門(men)(men)(men)云龍門(men)(men)(men)與(yu)西門(men)(men)(men)神(shen)虎門(men)(men)(men)相對。宮城(cheng)內西部(bu)有一座大型夯(hang)(hang)土臺(tai)基,東西長(chang)100米,南北(bei)寬60米,高出(chu)地面(mian)4米左右,應(ying)是北(bei)魏太極(ji)殿遺址。在宮城(cheng)其他地方還發現(xian)夯(hang)(hang)土臺(tai)基20余處,亦(yi)為宮殿遺存。
城(cheng)(cheng)的西(xi)北隅(yu)有曹魏時期修建(jian)的金墉城(cheng)(cheng),由3個南北相連(lian)的小城(cheng)(cheng)組成,平面呈(cheng)“目”字形,南北長約1048米(mi),東西(xi)寬為255米(mi)。3城(cheng)(cheng)之(zhi)間有門道(dao)相通,城(cheng)(cheng)墻寬約 12~13米(mi),殘(can)高6米(mi)左右。城(cheng)(cheng)內(nei)也發現有20多處夯土臺基。金墉城(cheng)(cheng)北靠邙山(shan),可俯瞰洛陽全(quan)城(cheng)(cheng),是進(jin)攻(gong)和防(fang)守的制高點(dian),在城(cheng)(cheng)墻的外壁上(shang),每(mei)隔60~70米(mi)也有一座向外突出的墩(dun)臺,可見這里(li)應是一座軍事要塞。
太極殿
太(tai)極(ji)(ji)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)是我(wo)國(guo)古(gu)代的(de)宮(gong)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)名稱。自三(san)國(guo)時期,魏(wei)明帝始建太(tai)極(ji)(ji)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)后,直至唐朝(chao)歷(li)代皇宮(gong)正殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(類似于北(bei)(bei)京故(gu)宮(gong)的(de)太(tai)和殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian))皆(jie)為(wei)太(tai)極(ji)(ji)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian),之后北(bei)(bei)宋西(xi)京洛陽的(de)大內正殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)亦為(wei)太(tai)極(ji)(ji)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian),清代北(bei)(bei)京紫閶闔(he)門、太(tai)極(ji)(ji)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)遺址禁(jin)城亦有太(tai)極(ji)(ji)殿(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)。
太極殿(dian)的建(jian)造,確(que)定了漢魏(wei)洛陽城(cheng)的建(jian)筑(zhu)布(bu)(bu)局中心,而以太極殿(dian)為(wei)中心的宮城(cheng)布(bu)(bu)局形(xing)態,標(biao)志著中國古代都(dou)城(cheng)布(bu)(bu)局進入一個新的歷史時期。
