Dongwengcheng and xiwengcheng

--The layout of the eastern and Western urn cities in Jiayuguan is very strict. The word "emperor" is engraved on the forehead of the gate of the eastern urn, which means that although the officials of the imperial court traveled far to the "extreme border", they still did not forget the imperial court and the king.

--The word "Huiji" is engraved on the gate of xiweng City, which means that the princes, officials and business travelers from the western regions met here in a friendly way and paid tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty. Xiwengcheng also split the gate to the South instead of connecting with the inner gate, which made Guancheng more solemn and deep and became a defense line of the inner city.
