古(gu)城(cheng)中央地勢較高，可望城(cheng)內(nei)全(quan)貌。自清末民初古(gu)城(cheng)被開墾以來，城(cheng)內(nei)建(jian)筑(zhu)遺(yi)存大多(duo)被破壞。1975年，“農(nong)業學大寨(zhai)”時(shi)平整(zheng)土(tu)(tu)(tu)(tu)地，這些遺(yi)址(zhi)被鏟(chan)平，只剩城(cheng)西北角的一(yi)(yi)(yi)處(chu)建(jian)筑(zhu)遺(yi)址(zhi)。并于城(cheng)南發現一(yi)(yi)(yi)磚(zhuan)室(shi)墓(mu)，墓(mu)室(shi)為方(fang)形，券頂，內(nei)壁抹白灰(hui)，上(shang)飾壁畫(hua)。隨葬品(pin)(pin)有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)銅(tong)(tong)鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)、陶、瓷器數件。城(cheng)內(nei)遺(yi)物(wu)豐富，有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)大量磚(zhuan)、瓦、陶瓷片。建(jian)筑(zhu)構件做工精細(xi)，造(zao)型(xing)優美(mei)。當時(shi)中原各(ge)名窯(yao)(yao)燒造(zao)的瓷器，在此(ci)都有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)發現。其中有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)一(yi)(yi)(yi)批完整(zheng)的瓷器。品(pin)(pin)種有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)醬(jiang)釉(you)魚藻匜、定(ding)窯(yao)(yao)白釉(you)蓮花(hua)盤(pan)、蓮花(hua)碗、雙魚碗、白釉(you)瓜棱柱、白釉(you)小口瓶、雞腿壇(tan)、黑釉(you)雙系壺、醬(jiang)釉(you)三流(liu)三系壺、綠釉(you)長(chang)(chang)頸瓶等(deng)。銅(tong)(tong)鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)是出土(tu)(tu)(tu)(tu)銅(tong)(tong)器中多(duo)的器物(wu)，有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)雙龍(long)(long)鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)、童子戲花(hua)鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)、雙魚鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)、昭(zhao)明鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)、瑞獸鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)、十二生肖鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)、朱雀(que)鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)等(deng)。雙龍(long)(long)鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)緣(yuan)刻(ke)(ke)有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)“長(chang)(chang)泰(tai)縣監(jian)”字(zi)樣(yang)。雙魚鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you) 3面，其中兩面有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)邊(bian)刻(ke)(ke)，一(yi)(yi)(yi)面刻(ke)(ke)“信州(zhou)司(si)侯(hou)(hou)司(si)”，另一(yi)(yi)(yi)面刻(ke)(ke)“肇州(zhou)司(si)侯(hou)(hou)司(si)”。此(ci)城(cheng)發現銘文多(duo)的是瑞獸鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)，共28字(zi)，邊(bian)刻(ke)(ke)有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)“長(chang)(chang)春縣xx”字(zi)樣(yang)。湖(hu)州(zhou)鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)，鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)薄紋(wen)精，造(zao)型(xing)別(bie)致，內(nei)鑄楷書“湖(hu)州(zhou)真(zhen)石十八郎，煉青銅(tong)(tong)無(wu)比照(zhao)子”等(deng)字(zi)。銅(tong)(tong)人、銅(tong)(tong)佛、銅(tong)(tong)釜、銅(tong)(tong)錢也屢有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)出土(tu)(tu)(tu)(tu)，自清末此(ci)城(cheng)址(zhi)被開墾，多(duo)次出土(tu)(tu)(tu)(tu)銅(tong)(tong)錢，少者幾枚，多(duo)則(ze)千斤。多(duo)為北宋(song)錢余(yu)為唐、南宋(song)、遼、金(jin)錢。城(cheng)中出土(tu)(tu)(tu)(tu)的生產工具，主要有(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)鐵(tie)鏵(hua)、犁鏡(jing)(jing)(jing)、趟頭、刃、斧、钁(jue)和(he)石磨等(deng)，也出土(tu)(tu)(tu)(tu)鐵(tie)鏃(zu)等(deng)武器。

1961年(nian)，吉林省(sheng)人民委員會公(gong)布(bu)此城址為(wei)吉林省(sheng)重點文物保(bao)護單(dan)位(wei)。

2000年(nian)，吉林省考古所對城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)內勘(kan)探中(zhong)得知(zhi)，城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)內原(yuan)有(you)縱橫街道9條，兩邊多為店(dian)鋪作坊。沿四周內城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)墻邊，有(you)一條大街環繞全城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)，每到(dao)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)門(men)、角樓處，道路沿城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)墻內壁上升，斜(xie)坡式上到(dao)城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)墻上，專供護城(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)士兵使用。

區位優勢

塔虎(hu)(hu)城(cheng)地(di)處嫩江、第二(er)松花江交(jiao)匯處西側（今前郭縣(xian)八郎(lang)鎮北上臺子(zi)村），地(di)勢險要，在(zai)遼金時(shi)代(dai)是兵家必(bi)爭之地(di)。據史書記載(zai)，塔虎(hu)(hu)城(cheng)在(zai)遼代(dai)稱(cheng)長春(chun)州(zhou)，金代(dai)稱(cheng)新泰州(zhou)，是遼金時(shi)代(dai)著名的軍事重鎮和交(jiao)易中心。

如今古城(cheng)(cheng)遺址(zhi)的(de)殘垣(yuan)斷壁靜(jing)(jing)靜(jing)(jing)地躺在豐腴的(de)田畝間。塔虎城(cheng)(cheng)平面(mian)(mian)呈(cheng)正方(fang)形(xing)(xing)，周(zhou)長5213米。城(cheng)(cheng)墻為土筑(zhu)，分層施夯(hang)，十分堅固，雖歷九百余年，風蝕(shi)雨剝，現(xian)仍高5－6米，基寬(kuan)20余米。每面(mian)(mian)城(cheng)(cheng)墻正中，各(ge)辟一(yi)門。門外(wai)設(she)有(you)半圓形(xing)(xing)“甕城(cheng)(cheng)”，門兩(liang)側分別(bie)筑(zhu)有(you)8個高出墻約半米的(de)“馬(ma)(ma)面(mian)(mian)”（即垛口），全城(cheng)(cheng)共64個，相鄰兩(liang)個馬(ma)(ma)面(mian)(mian)之間相距70米，恰為一(yi)箭之地。古城(cheng)(cheng)的(de)四角，各(ge)有(you)角樓一(yi)座， 呈(cheng)圓形(xing)(xing)，高出城(cheng)(cheng)墻，稍凸(tu)城(cheng)(cheng)墻內外(wai)，站在角摟上，可環顧左(zuo)右(you)兩(liang)面(mian)(mian)城(cheng)(cheng)墻，與馬(ma)(ma)面(mian)(mian)相照(zhao)應，再加上城(cheng)(cheng)外(wai)兩(liang)道(dao)10余米寬(kuan)、4余米深的(de)護城(cheng)(cheng)河（角樓外(wai)加設(she)一(yi)道(dao)），足見此(ci)城(cheng)(cheng)軍(jun)事防守設(she)施甚嚴，絕非等閑之地。

古城于清末民國初年即已墾為(wei)耕地(di)(di)，地(di)(di)表(biao)面到處布有(you)磚(zhuan)瓦殘(can)塊(kuai)及陶瓷碎片、獸骨、灰燼等(deng)，過去城內有(you)8處比較明顯的建(jian)筑遺(yi)址(zhi)，高出地(di)(di)表(biao)面約(yue)半米(mi)，上面遍布青灰色殘(can)磚(zhuan)、布紋(wen)板(ban)瓦、筒瓦、瓦當(dang)、勾滴、甋(di)吻、璃首(shou)等(deng)建(jian)筑構件(jian)。由于1975年平(ping)整土地(di)(di)，這些遺(yi)址(zhi)都被(bei)推土機(ji)鏟平(ping)，現(xian)僅(jin)余(yu)西(xi)北角(jiao)一(yi)處群眾(zhong)稱為(wei)“金鑾殿”的建(jian)筑遺(yi)址(zhi)，瓦礫殘(can)磚(zhuan)遍及臺上。

古(gu)(gu)城(cheng)(cheng)東北角護(hu)城(cheng)(cheng)河外(wai)，有(you)一(yi)橢圓形(xing)土(tu)臺(tai)，高(gao)約5米，群眾稱為(wei)“點將臺(tai)”，此臺(tai)原(yuan)高(gao)10余(yu)米，磚(zhuan)筑，表面鑲嵌蓮花(hua)瓣形(xing)紋磚(zhuan)。臺(tai)下曾出土(tu)過方柱形(xing)卷云翅銅(tong)風鈴(ling)及蕩(dang)錘。蓮花(hua)是佛(fo)教(jiao)的一(yi)種常(chang)用紋飾，風鈴(ling)則(ze)多(duo)為(wei)寺(si)(si)院殿(dian)檐、塔(ta)角之(zhi)懸用。由(you)此觀之(zhi)，此臺(tai)可能(neng)為(wei)一(yi)塔(ta)基。遼(liao)金盛(sheng)行佛(fo)教(jiao)，常(chang)于城(cheng)(cheng)內外(wai)興建寺(si)(si)廟及佛(fo)塔(ta)。《遼(liao)史》曾記載過，道宗咸雍(yong)八年（1072年）三月(yue)，長春州(zhou)、泰州(zhou) 肇州(zhou)（今洮南程四(si)家子(zi)古(gu)(gu)城(cheng)(cheng)）、寧江州(zhou)（一(yi)說扶余(yu)伯都納古(gu)(gu)城(cheng)(cheng)，一(yi)說三岔河石頭城(cheng)(cheng)子(zi)城(cheng)(cheng)〕就有(you)三千余(yu)人自(zi)愿削發為(wei)僧尼。此城(cheng)(cheng)出土(tu)的各(ge)種銅(tong)佛(fo)，也可以印證這一(yi)點。

塔(ta)虎城(cheng)遺址出土文物(wu)甚(shen)多，除大量的磚(zhuan)、瓦、陶(tao)建(jian)筑構件外，從生產(chan)工具到生活用品，從武器(qi)(qi)(qi)到貨幣，從宗教器(qi)(qi)(qi)物(wu)到各種裝飾(shi)品，其(qi)間石器(qi)(qi)(qi)、陶(tao)器(qi)(qi)(qi)、銅器(qi)(qi)(qi)、鐵器(qi)(qi)(qi)等應(ying)有(you)盡有(you)。
