Volume 4 The Old Luoyang 洛阳 in the Han_Wei period was one of the important cities of ancient China, functioning as the capital for a long period of time, from the Eastern Zhou to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The architectural form and evolution of its palace-city have all along been a topic of general interest among scholars. However, it is extremely difficult to clarify the shape and layout of the palace-city in different periods as Luoyang had a long history and went through a lot of dynasties, its buildings were repeatedly destroyed and renovated, and the related literal records are rather confused. From 2001 to 2002, an overall excavation was carried out on the site of Changhemen 阊阖门, the main gate of the Northern Wei palace-city, which revealed that the layout and structure of this city-gate and its paired piers were very novel and unique. Moreover, as the findings suggest, this Northern Wei city-gate, in basic size and shape, adopted its predecessor built in the Wei_Jin period. It is obviously an important clue for inquiring into the evolution of the palace-city in successive dynasties. With the excavation results as a turning point, here I would try my best to make a research on the layout of the South and North palaces in Han period Luoyang and that of the Luoyanggong 洛阳宫 Palace in the Cao Wei period.
