The existing Xi 'an City Wall was built in the seventh to eleventh year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1374- 1378), which was built on the basis of Chang 'an City in Tang Dynasty, so the history of this Ming City Wall can be traced back to the predecessor of Chang 'an City in Tang Dynasty.

Yuwen Kai, a great architect, presided over the construction of Daxing City in the 6th century, which provided a historical carrier for reading, analyzing and appreciating the history of China for thousands of years.

When the Xi 'an City Wall was first built in Ming Dynasty, there were only four gates in the southeast and northwest, named Changle, Yongning, Anding and Anyuan in turn, which contained people's hopes for a safe and happy life at that time.

Zhongshan Gate, Yuxiangmen and Wumingmen, which were opened in the 1920s and 1930s, were all named after outstanding revolutionary pioneers. Many city gates opened after the birth of New China were named after Peace and Founding of the People's Republic of China, which also had distinct characteristics of the times. The reuse of Tang Dynasty city gate names, such as Suzaku and Han Guang, reflects a kind of cultural inheritance.

Xi city wall is an eye-catching symbol of an ancient city. In the process of urban development, it is very normal to demolish old buildings, but many old buildings are precious historical relics with great cultural content, so they must not be demolished at will. Old buildings with real value must be carefully protected.

On September 29th, 1959, Xi received a notice from the State Council about the protection of Xi's city wall. On February 28th, 65438, Liu Geng, the mayor of Xi City, signed a document saying that "from now on, it is forbidden to demolish city bricks, dig up urban soil and other acts of destroying city walls". On March 4th, Xi 'an City Wall was finally announced by the State Council as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. ?
