What is the historical significance of Jianguomen and Fuxingmen?

These two gates were opened by the puppet government during the Japanese occupation. The so-called city gate is just a gap in the wall east of Dongdan and west of Xidan, and only simple iron gates are installed. The newly opened gap in the east is called Chang 'anmen, which was later renamed Jianguomen by Beiping Construction Bureau at 1946. The gap in the west is called Qimingmen, later renamed Fuxingmen. There are two gaps in the west, divided into two streets, which have never been put into use. It was not until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that the Beiping Construction Bureau officially built the reinforced concrete city gate hole, installed the city gate, and erected a stone tablet at the foot of the city gate, writing "Beiping Construction Bureau in the 35th year of the Republic of China" as a memorial. The gap in the east has not yet been formally built. After the founding of New China, with the widening of Chang 'an Avenue in the east and west, Jianguomen and Fuxingmen became the main roads across the east and west. 1958 Tiananmen Square was expanded on a large scale, becoming the widest, straightest and most convenient traffic trunk line in Beijing.

These are the nine inner gates of Beijing, and the outer city of Beijing was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. There are seven gates in the outer city, namely Yongdingmen, Zuo 'anmen, You 'anmen, Guangqumen, Guang 'anmen, Dongbianmen and Xibianmen. Right in the middle is the Yongding Gate, which is symmetrically distributed left and right, with three doors each. On the left are Zuo 'anmen, Guangqumen and Dongbianmen, and on the right are You 'anmen, Guang 'anmen and Xibianmen.
