The Nine Dragon Wall was originally the screen wall in front of Zhugui's mansion, the king of the early Ming Dynasty. Among the three famous Nine Dragon Walls, it is the one with the earliest construction and full of artistic charm. The building structure of this wall is all made of yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white and other colored glass components. The wall is composed of three parts: the bottom is Xu Mizuo, the middle is the wall body, and the upper part is the wall top. The east and west ends are respectively the patterns of the rising sun and the bright moon in the sky, and are lined with river cliffs, sea water and flowing clouds. The girdle of Xumizuo is inlaid with two layers of glazed beasts: the first layer is unicorn, lion, tiger, deer, Pegasus, etc., and the second layer is small dragons. These glazed beasts have different postures and are lifelike. There are sixty-two groups of glazed bucket arches with imitation wood structure on the wall, supporting the roof of the glazed tile wall. The top of the wall has a single eaves and five ridges. On both sides of the main ridge are high-relief multi-layered petal flowers and dragons.
