The ancient place is the courtyard residence built by Dong Zhuo.

According to the record of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty:

According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty - Dong Zhuo's Biography: In the third year of the Chuping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo built an ancient place, which was seven zhang in height and seven zhang in thickness, similar to the city of Chang'an, and it was called "Long-life Docking Station" and was called "Ancient Ancient Docking Station" for all the people in the world. The city's capital was the largest city in the world, with a population of over 1,000,000, and a population of over 1,000,000.

Since the cloud: "things into, Xiong according to the world; not, keep this enough to Bi old." After Zhuo's defeat, the dock was destroyed (the former site is in the northeast of Meixian County in present-day Shaanxi Province).

Translation: In the third year of the Chuping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo built a small fortress in Meixian County, Shaanxi Province, for defense purposes, with a height and thickness of seven zhang (七丈), which was equal to that of the city of Chang'an. There were many pearls and treasures in the fortress, and the storehouse was stocked with grain for 30 years.

Historical archaeology:

In 2008, the West (An) Bao (Chicken) Expressway began preparations for expansion, in Meixian County to add Changxing service area. The Shaanxi Provincial Research Institute of Archaeology and the Meixian County Cultural Hall routinely conducted exploration and excavation of the underground of Yao Shang Village, where the requisitioned land was located, which resulted in the discovery of a large-scale integrated workshop area of burnt pottery with a total area of more than 30,000 square meters.

There were excavated a huge number and variety of slate tiles, tube tiles, and building materials such as reticulated paving bricks and hollow bricks, as well as more than 1,000 pieces of animal bone artifacts and wastes with traces of processing, such as bone hairpins, antlers, and other relics, and the remnants of bronze wares models and cast-bronze ceramics models, which are all characterized by typical features of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty - which amounted to a mega construction material manufacturing plant at the time.

In 2010, archaeologists conducted extensive archaeological surveys and focused area archaeological exploration on the periphery of the excavation area, and found patches of long, rammed-earth remains in the north and southwest, which were initially judged to be the remains of a city wall. Combined with the records of the "Water Classic", "The Weishui River flows eastward to the south of the old city of ancient Meixian County", and the records of the "Yuanhe County Atlas" of the Tang Dynasty, "The old city of ancient Meixian County is fifteen miles to the northeast of the present county", it was determined that this is the site of Meixian County City during the Qin and Han Dynasties.

On July 1, 2010, Zhao Genfa, a 70-year-old man from the nearby village of Liu Xiang, told Liu Huaijun, an associate researcher at the Meixian Cultural Center, about a valuable clue. "There should be 'something' under the high-voltage pylons in the village's wheat fields."
