Ancient City Wall At the time when Zhu Yuanzhang the first emperor of Ming Dynasty (from 1370 A.D.- 1375 A.D)captured Huizhou, he was admonished by a hermit named Zhu Sheng, who told him to "built high walls, store abundant provisions and take your time in proclaiming yourself emperor", advice which Zhu Yuanzhang heeded. After the whole country was unified, he odered the local governments to build city walls on a large scale. Zhu assumed that "out of all the mountains and rivers in the world, the central Qin is the most strongly fortified and strategically impregnable." The city wall of Xi'an is an extension of the old Tang Dynasty structure, as a result of this wall building campaign.
