南京鼓楼Nanjing Drum Tower

南京鼓楼始建于明洪武十五年（1382年），设置于城市中心的高岗之上，由上部城楼和下部砖砌城台组成。城楼毁于明末清初，现存城楼为康熙年间修建，城台为明初原物，由于重修时鼓楼城楼已由计时报时报警礼仪的鼓楼，转变为保护“圣谕”之碑的碑楼，因此建筑规模、等级及做法均发生很大变化。
南京鼓楼上部城楼柱网铺满城台顶部，屋盖将城台完全遮蔽，形式与今北京鼓楼相似。城台拱券横跨城市主要道路，并不设门，人车自由穿行。明代鼓楼集报时报警礼仪于一身，每天发出信号，控制各城门的启闭时间。

The drum tower in Nanjing which consists of the wooden tower and the lower masonry made of brick was built in the fifth year of Hongwu period(1382 A.D.).It was located on a hill in the center of the city.The wooden part was destroyed in the wars at the End of Ming Dynasty and the Beginning of the Qing Dynasty.The platform made of brick is the original one built in Ming Dynasty,while the extant wooden part was built in Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.The function changed from timing and alarming to protecting the stele when it was rebuilt,so the scale and the details were different.
The net of pillars of the upper part of the Nanjing drum tower is spread over the top of the platform, and the roof covers the platform completely, similar in form to the Beijing drum tower today. The platform arch spans the main road of the city, and there is no gate, and people and carts can travel through freely. The Ming Dynasty drum tower combines the etiquette of timing and alarming, sending signals every day to control the opening and closing time of each city gate.
