Context unknown. 50 m south of Yinchengzi Village, Guangwu Town; a provincial-level protected cultural-relics site; Qin, Han, and Three Kingdoms periods; popularly known as Yinchengzi. Rectangular in plan, about 390 m north-south and 330 m east-west, covering about 130,000 sq m; the original earthen wall stood about 1.5 m above ground level and had four gates on the east, west, south, and north sides; it has now been leveled but still stands slightly above the surrounding land. Finds within the city include ant-nose coins, Han-dynasty "Ban Liang" coins, Wang Mang-era "Buquan" coins, Wuzhu coins, smelting slag, bronze vessels, Han bricks, and cord-marked pottery sherds. The discovery year is not recorded in the source. This city should be the Spring-and-Autumn city of Xin, renamed Xinyang County under the Qin, and abandoned by the Western Jin.
