The excavation revealed that the Xing’an Gate was constructed of rammed loess, the structures of which above the foundation had been completely destroyed and only the rammed-earth foundation was preserved. The gate had been built for two times: the earlier gate had three gateways facing south, and the later gate had two gateways. The gate consisted of the east and west terraces, gateways, separating walls, the palace city walls linked to them on the east and west sides and the ramp paths mounting the walls. The unearthed artifacts were building materials and utensils for daily use, the former included rectangular bricks, square bricks, flat tiles, cylindrical tiles, tile-ends, chiwei -ridge end ornaments, iron nails, stone rams, stone threshold, wooden part fragments, etc. The latter included porcelain bowls, jars, cases, lamps, basins, bottles, pottery pagodas, water-drawing vessels, inkstones, stone pestles, bone hairpins, small bronze Buddha figures, bronze coins, etc. In the Tang Dynasty, Xing’an Gate was one of the five gates on the south wall of Daming Palace and an important entrance leading to the imperial academy and the imperial harem; in the late Tang Dynasty, it was also an important location for the captive-offering ceremonies.
