A New Exploration of the Sizhou Great Wall in Eastern Wei Dynasty
The confrontation between the Eastern and Western Wei dynasties,along with the resurgence of the Rouran,established a tripartite political pattern.Driven by military security concerns,the Eastern Wei Dynasty constructed the Sizhou(肆州)Great Wall in the northern and central regions of what is now Xinzhou(忻州),Shanxi.This wall included areas around Luya Mountain(芦芽山),Guancen Mountain(管涔山),Yunzhong Mountain(云中山),and the remnants of Hengshan(恒山).The Sizhou Great Wall's construction spanned from Tudeng(土隥)in the east to Maling Garrison(马陵戍)in the west,ensuring the smooth flow of transportation along its route,particularly for the restoration of valley roads.This was of decisive significance for the political and military situation during the Northern Dynasties.
