Haoshuichuan Battle Site
In Xinglong Town, Shanjiaji, Chentianyu and other places in Xiji County, when farmers dig a village to prepare soil and dig ditches, they often dig out piles of white bones. Whose remains is this? Why did you die in the wilderness? Few people can make it clear. According to Shan Jifei's introduction, as early as the mid-1970s, when the production team organized team members to dig canals, they found a large number of human bones and horse bones, which were buried pit by pit, and the overlapping bone layers were about 2 meters thick.

In the cultural relics investigation of 1984, the comrades of the investigation team also found bundles of iron arrows and iron weapons from the bones. 1988, Xiji cultural relics department also collected a bronze helmet used by soldiers in Xixia period in Xiaohe Township (Desheng Village), which is 0/8km away from Xinglong Town/kloc-0. This helmet is an orphan among the cultural relics collected in our district, and the cultural relics are of high value. In the shooting of TV series He, as a rare material, it provides a model for the production of costume props. During the period of 1998, hundreds of human skulls and horse skulls were found buried in a tunnel in Honggang site of Xiji County Cultural Relics Management Office, and some human skulls and horse's head bones were also inserted with iron arrows. 1999, a skeleton layer with a length of 100 m and a thickness of 1 m was dug up in Xinglong town when repairing the wall of grain depot. Human bones and horse bones are superimposed on each other, which is terrible. During the third national cultural relics survey in Xiji County in 2009, it was found that the site of Honggang in Yucun, Chen Tian was surrounded by layers of white bones, some of which were several meters away from the cliff top, and some were more than ten meters away from the cliff top. When farmers borrow soil, they also dig out bean celadon lamps, copper (iron) arrows, quaternary gray pottery pots, spurs, porcelain tribulus, generals' pots and pottery. The iron arrow inserted on the horse's head is about 6 cm long and triangular and diamond-shaped, which proves that the weapon used by Xixia at that time was mainly iron, which is consistent with historical records.
