Hello, everyone. I'm the announcer of Jiayuguan City. It's majestic andmagnificent. Here, historical dramas of national wars have been staged, andmoving stories of people of all nationalities living in harmony and workingtogether have been spread. The majestic and majestic pass shines in China. Theancient Jiayuguan pass is just like an old man in history. Over the past 600years, the joys and sorrows of separation and the great changes of vicissitudesare reflected on its ancient green bricks and carved in its heavy earthwalls.
Jiayuguan was first built in the fifth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1372A.D.) and got its name because it was built on the Jiayu mountain at the Westfoot of Jiayuguan. It was built nine years earlier than Shanhaiguan, the firstpass in the world. The terrain here is very dangerous. In the south is the snowcapped Qilian Mountain, and in the north is the rolling Heishan mountain.Between the two mountains, there is only 30 Li. It is the narrowest place in thewest of Hexi Corridor, known as "the first pass in Hexi". The big grass beach inGuanxi, with yellow grass and flat sand, is an ancient battlefield. In Guandong,Jiuquan, an important town of the Silk Road, is close to the south slope ofGuandong. There is the famous Valley spring water. The "nine eye spring" isclear in winter and summer. It can be used for drinking and irrigating goodfarmland all year round. These superior natural conditions and strategicgeographical location are the main reasons for the establishment of the passhere. As early as the Han Dynasty, a jade barrier was set up at Shiguan gorge,seven Li north of Guancheng. It was built on the mountain to defend againstdanger. According to historical records, before the Ming Dynasty, there hadalways been "no city".
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen themilitary defense of Hexi, Feng Sheng, the general of the conquering army, tookover Hexi and built a pass here to control the traffic route to the West.According to historical records, Jiayuguan "at the beginning there was water andthen there was a pass. It was about building buildings later, building buildingslater, and building the Great Wall later. The Great Wall was built and then thepass could be guarded.". It took more than 160 years for Jiayuguan to become asolid defense project. In the fifth year of Hongwu (1372 A.D.) of Ming Dynasty,the earthen city was first built with a circumference of 220 Zhang and a heightof about 2 Zhang, which is now the rammed part of the inner city. At that time,it was only about no buildings.
In the eighth year of Hongye reign of Ming Dynasty (A.D. 148), LiDuancheng, a soldier of Suzhou, presided over the construction of Jiayuguantower at the main gate of Jiayuguan in xiluocheng. That is to say, Jiayuguantower was built more than 100 years after the completion of the city. Accordingto historical records, "Li Duancheng built the tower with a magnificent view".Another 11 years later, that is, the first year of Zhengde reign of Ming Dynasty(A.D From August 1506 to February of the next year, Li Duancheng built Guanghuabuilding and Rouyuan building in the inner city according to the style andspecifications of Guan built in the previous year. At the same time, he alsobuilt auxiliary buildings such as official hall and warehouse. In 1539, ZhaiLuan, the Minister of state, inspected the defense of Hexi. He thought that itwas necessary to strengthen the defense of Hexi, so he built a lot of buildingsto strengthen Guancheng, built enemy towers and turrets on Guancheng, and builttwo wings of the great wall and beacon towers on Guannan and Guanbei.
At this point, a large-scale and magnificent ancient gate stands on theGobi rock. Like a group of mighty soldiers, it stands between the two mountains,stretching out its arms, firmly guarding the throat of the silk road. In 1873,Zuo Zongtang, the then governor of Zhili, Shaanxi Province, was recovering Yilifrom passing through Jiayuguan at a speed of one hour. Facing the magnificentand powerful city of Guancheng, he wrote a huge plaque of "the most powerfulpass in the world" and hung it on the floor of Jiayuguan, adding a bit ofmajesty and grandeur to the pass. Lin Zexu, a patriotic general demoted to Yilifor banning smoking in the late Qing Dynasty, wrote a famous poem "Ode toJiayuguan" when he passed by Jiayuguan on October 11, 1842
Close the gate strictly, and March ten thousand miles to horseshoe.
Feige made even Qin tree straight, Zongyuan oblique pressure Longyunlow.
Tianshan Mountain is steep and stands on one's shoulders, and the vast seaattracts people.
Who blocked the letter for ever? You can see only 19 mud.
Comrade Mao Zedong, who loved ancient poetry and calligraphy all his life,once wrote this famous poem by hand.
The layout of Xiongguan city is very reasonable, and its architecture isalso very proper, which is suitable for the needs of war defense. There arethree city corridors and multiple lines of defense in the city. There are citiesinside the city and moats outside the city, which form a situation of keepingthe city together. If the enemy invades, it can ensure that there is no one.
Since Jiayuguan was built more than 600 years ago, due to wind and rainerosion, large-scale repair has been carried out. Especially in 1986, Jiayuguanmunicipal Party committee and municipal government responded to Comrade DengXiaoping's great call of "love China and build the Great Wall", and advocatedpeople from all walks of life to donate money to raise funds to restoreGuancheng. At that time, according to the instructions of Yang lie and othercomrades of the State Administration of cultural relics, Jiayuguan "repaired theold as the old and restored the original appearance". After many efforts,Jiayuguan tower finally stood on the magnificent city of Guancheng. Standing onthe tower of Jiayuguan, looking out of the pass, there were many feelings aboutthe vicissitudes of the ancient Silk Road due to the erosion of time. Lookingback, there was such a couplet recording the vicissitudes of Guan Lou'shistory:
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the period of the Republic of China,the ruins were destroyed in the stormy years
Love China's slender city construction to restore its original appearancein the era of Shengping and see the spring of China again.
What's more, Luo Zhewen, an expert in the Great Wall studies, also wrote alot of poems
Jiayu mountain from the coal city, wall high stand gas Xiaosen
Who is the master of the world today.
