    常州古淹城距今三千年

         在江苏省武进县湖塘镇西南方向,静静地躺着中国现存最完整的地面古城池遗迹———淹城,距今
    已有3000年的历史。淹城由3道城墙3道河组成,把古城分为子城、内城、外城,3道城墙均为夯土筑成。
    外城为一不规则的圆形,周长5里多;内城呈方形,周长不足3里;子城又称紫罗城,俗称王城,在内城
    中部偏北,周长不足1里。每道城墙均有一个城门:内城城门向南,在南城的正中;中城城门在西面偏南
    ;外城城门在西偏北面。3道城墙外绕有3道护城河:内城河宽30米;中城河和外城河均在50米左右,外
    城河最宽处,约有80米。河水深且清澈,常年不干。内城地势突起,离地面5米、6米不等。城墙底部宽
    度,一般为30米左右。
         在淹城的中城西面和外城之间,有3个并排列着的土墩,分别称为头墩、肚墩、脚墩。传说淹王有一
    个女儿,长得如花似玉、勤劳善良,却被野心勃勃的留王之子骗取了芳心,并盗去了淹君的护国之宝白
    玉龟。淹王不分青红皂白将公主处死,并分尸3段埋葬,形成了现存的头墩、肚墩和脚墩。此外,中城与
    外城之间也有一个土墩,因其形似磨盘,故名磨盘墩。
         城外四周一二公里范围内,原有200多座大小不等的土墩,现存78座,大多集中在城东和城西,经调
    查均为土墩墓。墓中出土了大批有价值的文物,如陶器、青瓷器、青铜器等。其中,最有价值的是在中
    城河里发现的4只独木舟,经碳14测定,距今约有3000年了。最大的一只长11米,宽0.9米,现珍藏在北
    京中国历史博物馆内。
         游人自常州市区坐上开往郊区的公交车,只需30分钟便可以领略到淹城古遗迹的风采。

    事实上,那个独木舟根本不可能在水里开,是用于黄梅天道路泥泞拖东西。至于 那三个墩,哈!
