据报载,南京明城墙,是我国保存得比较完整的古城墙,也是世界上现存最大的古代砖城墙。所用的砖块,由长江中下游附近的150多个府(州)、县烧制。砖的侧面刻着铭文,除时间、府县外,还有四个人的名字:监造官、烧窑匠、制砖人、提调官(运输官)。 According to newspaper reports, the Ming City Wall in Nanjing is a relatively ancient city wall preserved in our country and is also the largest existing ancient brick city wall in the world. The bricks used were fired at over 150 prefectures and counties in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The inscriptions are inscribed on the sides of the bricks. In addition to the time and the prefectures, there are four other names: the supervisor, the kiln maker, the brick maker, and the transfer officer (transport officer).
