正陽門箭樓 | 正阳门箭楼 | Zhengyangmen Archery Tower

(english description at the bottom)

位於北京內城南垣正中。明永樂十七年修築，原沿用元大都城南面正中城門之名——麗正門，正統時改為現名。俗稱「前門」。正陽門箭樓亦寬七間，後有抱廈，樓上南面設四層箭孔，每層13個（內城其餘八門箭樓為每層12個箭孔），東西各設4層箭孔，每層4孔。箭樓與門樓之間為瓮城，寬108米，深85米，東西設有兩座閘樓，於閘樓下開券門，門內也有千斤閘。平時箭樓及東閘樓下的城門關閉，出入百姓繞行西閘樓下券門。
正陽門箭樓在1900年義和團拳民焚燒前門外大柵欄時被飛濺火星引燃燒毀，城樓在當年冬天被生火取暖的印度士兵不慎燒毀，不久後均重建。為改善交通，正陽門瓮城在1915年被北洋政府內務總長朱啟鈐拆除。1965年經周恩來批示，正陽門城樓和箭樓得以保留。(摘自: 維基百科 [zh.wikipedia.org])

Zhengyangmen is located at the centre of the southern wall of the Inner city and was built in 1419. Originally called Lizhengmen, the name was changed during the Zhengtong era (1435–1449), commonly known as "Qianmen"
The archery tower is seven rooms wide. Each floor has 13 arrow slits (the other Inner city watchtowers all had 12 arrow slits per floor). Additional towers in the rear have four arrow slits on the southern sides of their upper floors. The eastern and western sides have four floors with four arrow slits on each floor.The archery tower and gate tower were connected with thick brick walls to form the Zhengyangmen barbican, 108 metres wide and 85 metres deep. The eastern and western ends had side gates with arches fitted with thousand-jin (approximately 500 kilograms) locks. Normally the archery tower gate and the eastern side gate were closed; commoners used the arch underneath the western side gate.

The archery tower at Zhengyangmen was damaged by fire in 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion. The gate tower was burned down by Indian soldiers. Both were reconstructed in the latter years of the Qing dynasty. In 1915, Internal Affairs minister Zhu Qiqian ordered the barbican dismantled to ease traffic congestion. The archery tower and gate tower were saved from demolition in 1965 on the orders of then premier Zhou Enlai. (from wikipedia [en.wikipedia.org])
