The Chongren fang grid in the Tang-Dynasty Chang'an City was situated between the Three Great Palaces-Taiji Palace,Daming Palace,Xingqing Palace-and the Imperial City,diagonally opposite the East Market.During the early and prosperous Tang periods,aside from temples and monasteries,the distinctive location of the Chongren fang grid attracted many high-ranking officials and nobles to reside there.The establishment of the Lihui Yuan Bureau of Rites during the Kaiyuan era marked a shift in the spatial dynamics of the Chongren fang grid.From the middle to late Tang Dynasty,numerous Jizou Yuan official reception halls and inns emerged within the Chongren fang grid,fostering a flourishing commercial environment,including a night market that transcended the spatial and temporal constraints of the lifang grid system.During this period,while temples and monasteries continued to exist,the number of new mansions owned by high-ranking officials and nobles significantly decreased,no longer occupying a dominant position.
