Description

出土年份原文未注。 同址另据中国文物地图集安徽分册'城父故城'条(15-A15):城父乡城父村周围,春秋,市文物保护单位,城址平面近似方形,边长约2千米,周长8千米,面积约4平方千米,城墙系夯土筑成,残存最高处约1.8米,基宽约10米多,四边各有一门,城内出土过郢爰和较多春秋陶片;据旧志记载,该城本名夷,楚改城父,楚平王(公元前528年)灭焦,易夷为城父,使太子建居之。

The discovery year is not recorded in the source. The same site is also recorded under the "Old City of Chengfu" entry (15-A15) in the Atlas of Chinese Cultural Relics, Anhui Volume: around Chengfu Village, Chengfu Township; Spring-and-Autumn period; a municipal-level protected site. The city plan is roughly square, about 2 km on each side with a perimeter of 8 km, covering about 4 sq km; the walls are of rammed earth, surviving to a maximum height of about 1.8 m with a base width of over 10 m, with one gate on each of the four sides. Ying Yuan gold money and numerous Spring-and-Autumn pottery sherds have been found within the city. According to old gazetteers, the city was originally named Yi; Chu renamed it Chengfu after King Ping of Chu (r. from 528 BCE) destroyed the state of Jiao, changed Yi to Chengfu, and installed the crown prince Jian there.
