成都少城，亦稱“滿城”，位于成都大城的西部，是歷史上成都大城的子城。其始建于秦惠文王二十七年（公元前 311 年），在康熙五十七年（公元 1718 年），清政府安排八旗官兵長駐成都后，由時任四川巡撫年羹堯在少城范圍內(nèi)新筑一城，四周建城墻，形成一座城中城，專供八旗官兵及家眷居住。

少城的布局如同一蜈蚣，將軍衙門是蜈 蚣頭，一條長順街是蜈蚣身，其余兵丁胡同是蜈蚣腳。少城周長 22500 多米，城墻高 4.3 米，俗稱“穿城九里三分”；有 5 座城門，其中以大東門最為壯觀，上面懸掛著“少城舊治”和“既麗且崇”兩塊匾額；有一個較場。少城大致范圍是：北起小北街，南達將軍街，東至老東城根街、平安橋一線，西抵同仁路（西城根街），沿西郊河一線。共有官街 8 條，兵丁胡同 33 條。
從空中俯瞰，整個少城布局如同一蜈蚣，將軍衙門是蜈 蚣頭，一條長順街是蜈蚣身，其余兵丁胡同是蜈蚣腳。少城最多有八旗兵 2 萬多人，加上家屬有 3、4 萬之眾，相當于一個小城市規(guī)模。少城四面環(huán)水，東有御河，西有西郊河，南有金河，在少城北門，古有水流經(jīng)現(xiàn)在的“西城角”“王家塘”“青龍街”“玉帶橋”再經(jīng)“臥龍橋”，由西北向東南方向，在水東門匯入府河。

如今，少城已成為成都的一個重要文化地標，吸引著眾多游客前來探尋歷史的足跡。這里的街巷充滿了生活氣息，保留了許多傳統(tǒng)的川西院子和建筑。其中，寬窄巷子是最具代表性的景點之一，吸引著大量游客前來體驗成都的傳統(tǒng)文化和生活方式。

在少城的發(fā)展過程中，也經(jīng)歷了多次的變遷和更新。如今，少城的布局和功能更加多樣化，融合了現(xiàn)代元素和傳統(tǒng)文化。一些古老的建筑被修繕和保護，同時也有新的建筑和設施不斷涌現(xiàn)。

總的來說，成都少城不僅是歷史的見證者，也是成都文化的重要組成部分。它承載著豐富的歷史和文化內(nèi)涵，同時也展現(xiàn)了成都的獨特魅力和活力。無論是過去還是現(xiàn)在，少城都在成都的發(fā)展中扮演著重要的角色。

Chengdu Shaocheng, also known as "Mancheng", is located in the west of Chengdu's main city and is the subsidiary city in the history of Chengdu's main city. It was initially built in the 27th year of King Huiwen of Qin (311 BC). In the 57th year of Emperor Kangxi (1718 AD), after the Qing government arranged the Eight Banners officers and soldiers to reside in Chengdu for a long time, Nian Gengyao, the governor of Sichuan at that time, built a new city within the scope of Shaocheng, built city walls around it, forming a city within a city, which was exclusively for the Eight Banners officers and soldiers and their families to live.

The layout of Shaocheng is like a centipede. The general's yamen is the head of the centipede, a Changshun Street is the body of the centipede, and the other soldier alleys are the feet of the centipede. The perimeter of Shaocheng is more than 22,500 meters, and the city wall is 4.3 meters high, commonly known as "nine miles and three-thirds through the city"; there are 5 city gates, among which the Great East Gate is the most spectacular, with two plaques hanging on it, namely "The Old Governance of Shaocheng" and "Both Beautiful and Lofty"; there is a drill ground. The approximate range of Shaocheng is: starting from Xiaobei Street in the north, reaching General Street in the south, east to the line of Laodongchenggen Street and Ping'an Bridge, and west to Tongren Road (West Citygen Street), along the line of the Western Suburb River. There are 8 official streets and 33 soldier alleys.

Looking from above, the entire layout of Shaocheng is like a centipede. The general's yamen is the head of the centipede, a Changshun Street is the body of the centipede, and the other soldier alleys are the feet of the centipede. At most, there were more than 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers in Shaocheng, and with their families, there were about 30,000 or 40,000 people, which was equivalent to the scale of a small city. Shaocheng is surrounded by water on all sides. There is the Royal River in the east, the Western Suburb River in the west, the Jin River in the south. At the north gate of Shaocheng, in ancient times, water flowed through the current "West City Corner", "Wangjiatang", "Qinglong Street", "Jade Belt Bridge" and then through the "Wolong Bridge", from the northwest to the southeast direction, and merged into the Fu River at the East Water Gate.

Today, Shaocheng has become an important cultural landmark in Chengdu, attracting many tourists to come and explore the footprints of history. The streets and alleys here are full of the flavor of life and have retained many traditional Western Sichuan courtyards and buildings. Among them, Kuanzhai Alley is one of the most representative scenic spots, attracting a large number of tourists to come and experience the traditional culture and lifestyle of Chengdu.

In the development process of Shaocheng, it has also experienced many changes and updates. Nowadays, the layout and functions of Shaocheng are more diversified, integrating modern elements and traditional culture. Some ancient buildings have been repaired and protected, and at the same time, new buildings and facilities continue to emerge.

In general, Chengdu Shaocheng is not only a witness of history but also an important part of Chengdu culture. It carries rich historical and cultural connotations and also shows the unique charm and vitality of Chengdu. Whether in the past or now, Shaocheng has played an important role in the development of Chengdu.
