齊(qi)(qi)門位于蘇(su)州城北。因(yin)門朝向當時的齊(qi)(qi)國,故(gu)(gu)名。相(xiang)傳闔(he)閭(lv)十年(nian)(nian)(公(gong)元(yuan)前505),吳破齊(qi)(qi),齊(qi)(qi)以女(nv)(nv)(nv)質,配(pei)(pei)與(yu)(yu)吳世子(zi)(zi)波(bo)。齊(qi)(qi)女(nv)(nv)(nv)思鄉(xiang),日夜(ye)號泣成病,闔(he)閭(lv)乃造此(ci)門,名“望(wang)齊(qi)(qi)門”,令齊(qi)(qi)女(nv)(nv)(nv)往游其上(shang),后稱齊(qi)(qi)門。又(you)傳,當時吳強齊(qi)(qi)弱,年(nian)(nian)老的齊(qi)(qi)景公(gong)懾于吳王(wang)聲威(wei),將女(nv)(nv)(nv)配(pei)(pei)與(yu)(yu)吳太子(zi)(zi)波(bo)。太子(zi)(zi)波(bo)早亡,齊(qi)(qi)女(nv)(nv)(nv)思鄉(xiang),吳王(wang)在齊(qi)(qi)門上(shang)造九層(ceng)飛閣,讓齊(qi)(qi)女(nv)(nv)(nv)登閣望(wang)鄉(xiang),故(gu)(gu)又(you)名望(wang)齊(qi)(qi)門。
齊門位于江蘇蘇州城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)北(bei)。因(yin)門朝向當時(shi)(shi)的(de)齊國,故名。據考(kao),齊門有城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)郭(guo),舊(jiu)稱城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)垛子,城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)郭(guo)之(zhi)間還有方角城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)墻。齊門有三(san)道城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)門,故道路曲(qu)折,交通不便。60年代初,首先拆除城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)門城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)樓,1978年建水閘時(shi)(shi)拆除了水城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)門。
據考,齊(qi)門(men)(men)(men)(men)有(you)(you)城(cheng)(cheng)郭(guo),舊稱城(cheng)(cheng)垛子(zi),城(cheng)(cheng)郭(guo)之間還有(you)(you)方角城(cheng)(cheng)墻(qiang)。齊(qi)門(men)(men)(men)(men)有(you)(you)三道(dao)城(cheng)(cheng)門(men)(men)(men)(men)。內城(cheng)(cheng)門(men)(men)(men)(men)西惻有(you)(you)水城(cheng)(cheng)門(men)(men)(men)(men),門(men)(men)(men)(men)上建有(you)(you)兩層城(cheng)(cheng)樓,俗稱鼓樓。內有(you)(you)內城(cheng)(cheng)河,外有(you)(you)外城(cheng)(cheng)河,城(cheng)(cheng)郭(guo)之同相(xiang)距二三十米。因有(you)(you)三道(dao)門(men)(men)(men)(men),故道(dao)路曲折,交通不便。20世紀(ji)60年(nian)(nian)代初,首先拆除城(cheng)(cheng)門(men)(men)(men)(men)城(cheng)(cheng)樓,1978年(nian)(nian)建水閘時拆除了水城(cheng)(cheng)門(men)(men)(men)(men)。
據《東(dong)周列(lie)國(guo)(guo)志》記載,吳王闔閭元年(nian)(公(gong)元前514年(nian)),即周敬王六年(nian),闔閭向伍子(zi)胥咨詢(xun)國(guo)(guo)政(zheng)說(shuo):“吾國(guo)(guo)僻在東(dong)南,險阻卑濕,又有海(hai)潮之(zhi)(zhi)患,倉庫不設,田疇(chou)不墾,國(guo)(guo)無守(shou)御,民(min)無固志,無以(yi)威示鄰(lin)國(guo)(guo),為之(zhi)(zhi)奈(nai)何?”伍子(zi)胥說(shuo):“臣聞治民(min)之(zhi)(zhi)道,在安居而理。夫霸王之(zhi)(zhi)業,從近制(zhi)遠(yuan)。必先立城郭,設守(shou)備,實倉廩(lin),治兵革,使內有可(ke)守(shou),而外可(ke)以(yi)應(ying)敵。”
闔閭(lv)說:“善,寡人委命于子(zi),子(zi)為(wei)寡人圖之。”
伍子胥乃(nai)相土形之高卑,嘗(chang)水味(wei)之咸(xian)淡,乃(nai)于姑蘇山東北三十里得善地,造筑大城。周回四十七里,陸門八(ba),象(xiang)天八(ba)風;水門八(ba),法地八(ba)聰。
八門(men)(men)者,乃南面(mian)盤(pan)門(men)(men)、蛇門(men)(men);北(bei)面(mian)齊門(men)(men)、平門(men)(men);東面(mian)婁門(men)(men)、相門(men)(men);西面(mian)閶(chang)門(men)(men)、胥門(men)(men)。
齊(qi)(qi)(qi)門(men)(men)位(wei)于(yu)蘇(su)州城北(bei),因(yin)(yin)門(men)(men)朝向當時的齊(qi)(qi)(qi)國,故名(ming)。古(gu)稱望齊(qi)(qi)(qi)門(men)(men)。趙曄《吳(wu)趙春秋》記載:“齊(qi)(qi)(qi)子使女為質于(yu)吳(wu),吳(wu)王因(yin)(yin)為太子波聘齊(qi)(qi)(qi)女。女少,思(si)齊(qi)(qi)(qi),日夜(ye)號泣,因(yin)(yin)乃為病(bing)。闔閭乃起北(bei)門(men)(men),名(ming)曰(yue)望齊(qi)(qi)(qi)門(men)(men),令(ling)女往游其(qi)上。女思(si)不止(zhi),病(bing)日益(yi)重,乃至殂落。女曰(yue):‘令(ling)死者有知,必(bi)葬我于(yu)虞(yu)山(shan)之(zhi)巔(dian),以望齊(qi)(qi)(qi)國。’闔閭傷之(zhi),正(zheng)如其(qi)言,乃葬虞(yu)山(shan)之(zhi)巔(dian)”。今虞(yu)山(shan)仍(reng)有齊(qi)(qi)(qi)女冢古(gu)跡,清康熙初重葺,顧嗣立題“臣心拱北(bei)”額。七十年(nian)代修水閘(zha),拆(chai)除(chu)水城門(men)(men),現已不存。
齊(qi)(qi)門(men)的邊上(shang)是平(ping)門(men),傳說是當年(nian)伍子胥(xu)率大(da)軍平(ping)定齊(qi)(qi)國,班師回朝而走的城門(men)。這點類似北京的德勝門(men)。
