Based on location and function, ditai can be divided into three categories: ditai in city walls, ditai in the Great Wall, and freestanding ditai. Although the forms and development of these three types of ditai differed, they affected each other to a certain extent. According to the current historical documents, the term ditai first appeared in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) text Ming Taizong Wen huangdi shilu 明太宗文皇帝實錄 (Zhongyang yanjiuyuan lishi yuyan yanjiusuo 1963, 125.5a). ]]></dc:description></metadata>
