Abstract

-In the Song dynasty, brick-paved streets mainly emerged in the southern cities dealing with rainy weather and slippery road surface. This article discusses some brick-paved streets of the southern cities, such as Chengdu, Junzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou and Guangzhou. These streets were often slightly convex in the middle for the convenience of drainage. And there were always ditches at both sides and rammed earth beneath the paving bricks.
