    (Translated by Google) Duiyue Gate was built in the fifteenth year of Daoguang (1835) and was completed in January the following year. It was one of the three gates built at that time. Because it was located in the west and belonged to the Dui party in the gossip, it was named Duiyue; Because the base of the city gate is built with old ancient stones, it is commonly called the old ancient stone urn city. The door is about 4 meters high and 3 meters thick. The city gate is 3 meters wide, with a semicircular arch on the top, and red brick masonry. Steps are provided on the inside of the door seat for climbing the city. Duiyue Gate was the outer city of Daxi Gate of Fucheng at that time. At that time, together with the outer city "Dian Kun Gate" of Xiaoximen and the outer "Gonggan Gate" of Xiaobeimen, they built an outer city to resist pirate harassment. The Duiyue Gate is almost made of red bricks on the outside and white ash, and the inside is made of red bricks. The other eight gates are made of stone and masonry. A circle of arches is covered with stone pieces, and the upper part is a stack wall and muzzle. The other part of the city wall is made of bricklaying or stone jointing with lime, clay, sand and oyster shell powder. After the Japanese Occupation, due to urban development, most of the city gates were gradually demolished. Only the Duiyue Gate, the "Building Old Stone Street Road Head Monument" inside the gate, and Shishiye still stand, and are the only gates still in use in Taiwan's capital city. It is also a concrete proof that the city has expanded outward in response to the changes in the vicissitudes of life. (Original) 兌悅門建於道光十五年(西元一八三五年),翌年元月完工,是當時所建的三座城門之一,因位於西方,屬於八卦中的兌方,故名兌悅;又因城門基座用老古石砌造,所以俗稱老古石甕城。 門高約4公尺,厚3公尺。城門洞寬3公尺,上做半圓拱形,用紅磚砌築。門座內側設有踏階,供登城之用。兌悅門為當時府城大西門的外城。當時與小西門的外城「奠坤門」和小北門的外「拱乾門」,共同築成一道外城,抗禦海盜騷擾。 兌悅門幾乎為外表白灰粉刷面內為紅磚造,臺度為硓時,而其他八門均為石造砌石,一圈圓拱貼石片,上為垛牆及鎗口才為砌紅磚。其他部份的城牆為砌磚或石塊勾縫為石灰、黏土、砂、牡蠣殼粉末拌合而成。 日治時期以後,由於都市發展,大多數城門漸遭拆除,惟有兌悅門、門內的「修造老古石街路頭碑記」及石獅爺仍然屹立,是至今臺灣府城中惟一仍在穿越使用的城門,也是因應滄海桑田的情勢變化而使府城向外擴展的具體明證。

    (Translated by Google) In the 40th year of Qianlong (1775), Fucheng had 8 gates, namely Xiaobeimen, Dabeimen, Xiaodongmen, Dadongmen, Xiaonanmen, Dananmen, Xiaoximen and Daximen. After Daoguang 12 (1832), the outer city was expanded. Gonggan, Duiyue, and Diankun gates were set up in the west outer city, and Yongkang, Dongguo, and Renhe gates were set up in the east outer city, forming 14 gates and city pools. (Tainan Historical Map Walking, Dongfan, 2019) Duiyue Gate is currently the only gate in Tainan that is still for traffic, and it is also the only existing outer gate. Xinyi Street, which enters through the city, is the "old ancient stone street" that was bustling for a while. In the past, Xingangqian Port flowed through this neighborhood, and there was a ferry directly to Anping. It is said that after the cargo ships transported locally produced sugar, salt, dried longan and other goods to the mainland for trading, they would return with heavy old stone ballast on the return journey. After returning to Hong Kong, a large number of old ancient stones were unloaded one by one, and they piled up along the street to become "Old Old Stone Street." (Tainan Historical In-depth Tourism, Yuanliu, 2003) (Original) 乾隆40(1775)年時,府城已有8座城門,分別為小北門、大北門、小東門、大東門、小南門、大南門、小西門和大西門。道光12(1832)年後擴建外城,於西外城設置拱乾、兌悅、奠坤門,東外城設置永康、東郭、仁和門,形成14座城門城池規模。(台南歷史地圖散步,東販,2019) 兌悅門是目前台南城門中唯一尚供通行使用的城門,也是唯一現存的外城門。穿城而入的信義街則是當年繁華一時的「老古石街」。往昔新港墘港就由這附近流過,並有渡口可直通安平。據傳當年貨船將本地所產的糖、鹽、龍眼乾等貨物運往大陸交易後,回程即以沈重的老古石壓艙回航。返港後將艙底大量的老古石一一卸下,於是沿街堆積成為「老古石街」。(台南歷史深度旅遊,遠流,2003)

    (Translated by Google) (2020.12.23) The low-key historic city wall hidden in the lanes and lanes is well preserved. After all, everyone can step on it and feel the history. However, there is no corresponding housing landscape design around, and it feels a pity... Seeing the concrete and iron houses on both sides of the historic sites are directly connected, it is totally killing the scenery. It feels that this monument is just being preserved, as if it has no more benefits. (Original) (2020.12.23) 低調藏身於巷弄的古蹟城垣,保存狀況還蠻不錯的,畢竟人都還可以直接踩上去感受一下歷史。不過周遭沒有相對應的房屋景觀設計,感覺就有些可惜了...看到古蹟兩旁直接就是水泥鐵皮屋連結著,完全就很殺風景。感覺這個古蹟就僅僅只是保留著,好像就沒有再發揮到更多的效益了。

(Original) 從文賢路要進入滿滿的古宅酒吧、飲食店的信義街小巷前,這座頗是顯眼的古門被保留在了這裡;從清朝一直保留到現在的門牆,讓人有種要穿梭進時光隧道的感覺,也為在地的古宅店家提前增添了一分韻味。

    (Translated by Google) In the old days when the port was closer, the only way to get into the city from the port is now Shingi-gai. And the only gate built on the wall is this "Duiyuemen". As the name suggests, this is the site of an old customs office. As I wrote in "Fukumiya, the collection of old stones from the four unions," the people of Shioshu were the protagonists of the time when Tainan prospered in maritime trade. All that wealth went through this gate and was carried into the city through Shingi-gai. I can imagine how busy this area was. This gate and the area around Shingi-gai have such an ancient atmosphere and are suitable for a walk. He also wrote a model course for walking around the city next to the gate. It's fun to walk around not only this gate but also the surrounding area to remember the old days. (Original) 港がもっと近かった古い時代に港から市中に入る唯一の道が今の信義街だ。そして城壁に作られた唯一の門がこの「兌悦門」。名前の通りここは昔の税関の跡なのだ。「四聯境老古石集福宮」のところにも書いたが、台南が海上貿易で栄えた時代主役は潮州の人たちだった。その富は全てこの門をくぐり、信義街を通って市中に運ばれた。いかにこの辺りが賑わっていたか想像できる。この門や信義街周辺はそんないにしえの趣があり散歩に適している。門の横にも街歩きのモデルコースを書いてくださっている。この門だけでなく周辺を歩き古き時代を偲ぶのは楽しい。
