It is known through drilling that the whole rningtang site is surrounded by a large ditch, the four sides of which are each adjacent to a 凸 -shaped rammed-earth platform about 2 m thick under the ground. The excavation was carried out on the western platform and the ditch section near it, covering an area of 372 sq m. Among the revealed ruins are remains of the ditch, its stone embankment, the rammed-earth platform, and buildings on it. The unearthed objects include tile-ends and semi-cylindric and fiat tiles with inscriptions in many cases. Judging from its remains, location, shape and related literary records, the site must belong to the mingtang ritual hall in the Pingcheng city of the Northern Wei period. Its discovery is of great significance to the determination of the location of Pingcheng, the indentification of other buildings near the excavated area, and the study of the whole Pingcheng culture in the Northern Wei period.展开更多

In the palace city of the Japanese capital Heiankyo built at the end of the 8th century, there was the palace called "Burakuyin", which was also specially for banqueting. Based on archaeologically excavated remains, as well as many records in historical books, the present paper argues that Burakuyin of Japan was built by following the function of China's Lindedian Pavilion. In addition, in the palace city of Heijokyo, the capital of Japan in the 710s- 770s, there was the palace "Saigu" built in the mid 8th century, which functionated mainly as the place for banqueting and resembled the Chinese pavilion Lindedian in architectural form. It can be believed that the construction of Burakuyin in the palace city of Heiankyo capital was also influenced by Saigu in the palace city of Heijokyo capital.展开更多
