兼军事防御及防洪功能于一身,乃是我国古城重要特点之一。当然,也有少数其他国家的城墙兼有这二重功用,比如重建于公元前七至前六世纪的巴比伦的城墙即为一例。然而,巴比伦城已成历史遗迹,我国则仍有荆州、寿州、文安、潮州、肇庆、赣州、台州、太和镇(四川射洪)、安康、常德等许多古城墙完整地或部 The combination of military defense and flood control is one of the important features of our ancient city. Of course, the walls of a few other countries have this dual function. For example, the walls of Babylon that were rebuilt from the 7th to the 6th centuries BC are an example. However, the city of Babylon has become a historical site. In China, there are still many ancient walls in Jingzhou, Shouzhou, Wen’an, Chaozhou, Zhaoqing, Zhangzhou, Taizhou, Taihe (Sichuan Shehong), Ankang, and Changde.
