Qicheng Site
   The Qicheng Site is located in Puyang City, Henan Province in central China. It is the ruins of an important city of the State of Wei during the late Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn period, dating from the 11th century BC to 476 BC.

   The Qicheng Site is also known as "Kongkui City." Historical records indicate that rulers of various states held seven alliances here during the Spring and Autumn period. The ancient city has a rectangular layout, covering an area of about 160,000 square meters. The rammed-earth city wall is 1,520 meters in circumference, with the highest remaining section reaching approximately 8 meters and the thickest part about 17 meters. The sites of the existing city gates can still be identified. Outside the city, there are also preserved rammed-earth platforms as well as historically documented sites such as the Kuai Kui Terrace and the Tomb of Zhong You. The city was gradually abandoned after the Han Dynasty.

   The discovery of the Qicheng Site holds significant reference value for the study of the State of Wei during the Zhou Dynasty and its relationships with neighboring feudal states. (National Cultural Heritage Administration)
