Ruins of the Ancient Wei City

　　  The Ruins of the Ancient Wei City (Third Batch of Provincial-Level Protected Sites)

　　  Era: Zhou Dynasty

　　  Location: 2.5 km north of Ruicheng County Town

　　  The Ancient Wei City measures 1.5 km from east to west and 1.3 km from north to south. The remaining northern city wall is 1,500 meters long, 4–7 meters wide, and 7 meters high. The rammed earth pits have a diameter of 6 cm.

　　  The city wall was built using the board-pounding method. The southeastern, northwestern, and northeastern corners of the ancient city are relatively well preserved, with crescent-shaped rammed earth platforms on the outer side of the wall. Artifacts from the Eastern Zhou period such as nan (a type of vessel), dou (food containers), guan (jars), and tiles have been unearthed within the city. To the west of the city in Chaijian Village, there is a cluster of tombs dating from the late Western Zhou to the early Spring and Autumn period, where several batches of bronze ware have been excavated. In May 2013, it was designated as part of the seventh batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units by the State Council.
