Qin Guan and Wei Guan are located in Lingbao, Sanmenxia City, Henan Province, five kilometers apart.
In ancient times, Hanguguan area was called Taowoodland.
Legend has it that Kuafu is eager to chase the sun. Although I drank all the Yellow River, Weihe River and osawa River, I finally died of thirst.
After Kuafu's death, his walking stick became Deng Lin-Tao Lin.
During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it was called Taolinsai.
According to the scenic spot, the specific construction year of Hanguguan is the Western Zhou Dynasty in BC 10 16. After the prince of Wu successfully cut off the customs, he built a customs in Taolinsai. Ten thousand people could not force it, but one man kept it, and heavily guarded Hangu Pass.
Later, with the continuous rise of Qin State, Hangu Pass became the Hangu Pass of Qin State.
According to the construction technology and materials more than 3000 years ago, after thousands of years of bonfires and wind and rain erosion, I don't know what treasures are left in Hangu Pass except ruins and relics.
In the history of China, there have been many important events in Qin Guguan.
What later generations are most familiar with is that Laozi rode a green ox and crossed Hangu Pass, and wrote a history of moral classics of 5,000 words.
Meng Changjun Tian Wen, one of the famous "Four Childes" in the Warring States Period, told a story of "cock crowing and dog stealing" when he tried his best to escape to Qi, which was also in Taniguchi, Qin Dynasty.
Shortly thereafter, a historical story similar to "a cock crow and a dog thief" happened in Qin Hangu Pass.
Yan Wangdan was taken hostage in the State of Qin and was in a very dangerous situation. As a last resort, Taizi Dan disguised himself as an ordinary citizen, and learned to crow in the Qin and Han valleys in the middle of the night, causing the surrounding cocks to crow together, thus deceiving the city gate, "the cock crows."
After Taizi Dan fled back to Yan State, he directed a very famous drama "Jing Ke Stabbed Qin" in history.
In addition, due to the implementation of Shang Yang's political reform, Shang Yang, who made an important contribution to the rise of Qin, escaped from the valley of Qin Xin disguised as an ordinary person after Qin Xiaogong's death.
Although Shang Yang was eventually arrested and returned to the State of Qin, he was tortured and dismembered, but this is another story.
In addition, another very important prime minister of Qin State, with the help of Zheng Anping, secretly entered Qin State through the valley pass of Qin and Han Dynasties after Wei State was framed and humiliated, and was entrusted with an important task by her.
Wei Guan was built by Cao Cao when he crusaded against Ma Chao, in order to quickly dispatch horses and grain. Later, it became an important channel connecting two cities (Xi and Luoyang).
The main buildings of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Zhongwei Pavilion were destroyed by the war.
After the founding of New China, when Sanmenxia Dam, the first water control project, was built, Weihanguan was flooded by the reservoir area.
It is said that there is still an ancient road and a beacon tower site.
Unfortunately, I didn't see it this time.
Now, although Qin Hangu Pass is listed as a national AAAA-level scenic spot, in fact, it is not worthy of the name. It is similar to call it a "Taoist theme park" built on the site of Hanguguan.
Compared with the actual situation of scenic spots, scenic spot tickets can be said to be expensive.
Tickets are 75 and battery tickets are 20. The most important thing is that there is nothing to see. If I visit as a park, it's nearly 300 kilometers away, and I really feel a little wronged and worthless for spending so much time not talking and driving hard.
There are two small excavation sites in the scenic area, about two or three square meters: one is the ruins of the city wall and the other is the ruins of the arrow hole.
There is also a "Rebuilding the Taichu Palace Monument" which is more than 700 years ago.
Except for these three objects, all other buildings are newly built.
Now we see the Hangu Guanlou, which was rebuilt according to the portrait bricks unearthed from the Han tomb.
I dare not comment rashly because I don't understand architecture. However, a nondescript model of a black gold-plated cannon across Chen Zhe is really gilding the lily when viewing the building. It seems to spoil the fun.
In addition, there are ancient roads and terraced fields in Ji Ming. Because of the lack of archaeological data, it is inevitable that modern people will participate in the construction, and the visit value is extremely low.
It is said that Taoist cultural activities are held here every year, but the scale is unknown.
There are many natural stones scattered on the lawn of the scenic spot, which are engraved with the famous sayings in Laozi's Tao Te Ching, which accords with the historical fact of "Laozi's visit to the land" in Hanguguan.
I don't know if it's because Henan has entered the summer vacation and it's too hot to travel, or other unspeakable reasons. In short, there are very few tourists in Qin Han Valley Pass Scenic Area, and even I feel that this trip is a bit regrettable.
Fortunately, I went to the unpopular Hanguan the day before. Compared with the Qin Guan in front of me, Hanguan is one of the biggest gains of this trip.
When I left Qin Hangu Pass, I saw workers in the scenic spot decorating buildings that looked like professional clothes.
If the Qin Hangu Pass, which has been diluted to its present state, continues to be built on a large scale, will there still be tourists paying the bill?
I hope I worry too much, too much.
Next, I'm going to tell a story about the construction of Hanguan, which is quite interesting. I was amused by it.
