Sacrifice au Ciel et à la Terre dans le faubourg sud et le faubourg nord. ” GRAND RICCI, vol. 1, p. 713, col. ii ---------------------------------------- Editor: 郊 (French "faubourg") doesn't mean "city" and indeed, based on your first reference (and Grand Ricci), "suburbs" seems more apt than "cities" ~ "In 32 BCE the altars were moved to the suburbs of the capital Chang'an, places which were reconfirmed and perpetuated by the usurper Wang Mang 王莽 (r. 8-23 CE). They remained in the suburbs of the respective main capital until the end of imperial times." |
