Guyuan Ancient City

Guyuan Ancient City is located in the south of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. It is an important town on the northern route of the eastern section of the ancient Silk Road. It is a famous historical and cultural city. The ancients vividly commented on its geographical location: ?The left controls Wuyuan, the right leads Lanhui, the Yellow River flows around the north, and the Kongtong blocks the south. It is backed by eight counties, the key points of Wansan Town, and the road to the middle is dangerous. , Xiaoguan Fengguan Duo?, has been a pass and military town on the choke point from Guanzhong to the Western Regions beyond the Great Wall since ancient times. The earliest highway trunk line in northwest my country in modern times, the highway from Xi'an to Lanzhou, passes through here. In 114 BC (the third year of Yuanding of the Han Dynasty), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Anding County and governed Gaoping City (now Guyuan County) in order to strengthen the military defense of the northwest frontier. This is the historical city of Guyuan clearly recorded in history books. Because of its strong city and deep pond, it was called the first city of Gaoping in history.

This is a new city that was expanded and built away from the original Gaoping ancient city. The original Gaoping city became the inner city of the new city. From then on, Guyuan City had the layout of an inner city and an outer city. Guyuan in the Ming Dynasty was one of the nine major military towns set up by the Ming Dynasty government in the northwest border area. It was also the place where the governors of the three sides of Shaanxi Province were stationed. The city defense was greatly strengthened. It was the most glorious period in the history of Guyuan city construction. Guyuan City also became the city of northwest China. Important town. In the third year of Jingtai (1450), the inner city was renovated. In the fifth year of Chenghua (1469), the inner city was built. In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi (1502), Qin Hong, the governor of the three sides, built the Waiguan City. It started from Xu Binshui, meandered west to Huaercha, Jinglu, more than 600 miles long, and meandered east to Raoyang, more than 300 miles long, which is today The inner wall to the north of Guyuan? In the third year of Wanli (1575), Shi Maohua, the governor of the three sides, presided over the laying of bricks for the outer city.

Since then, the final layout and structure of Guyuan City have been basically laid. Inner city: 9 miles and 3/3 of the surrounding area, 3 feet and 5 feet high; 1,046 crenellations; 28 forts. Outer city: 13 miles and 70 meters around, 3 feet and 6 feet high; 1,573 crenellations; 31 forts. There are three east city gates, built during the Wanli period, two of which are famous: Anbian Gate and Baoning Gate; four south city gates, built during the Wanli period, two of which are named after: Zhenqin Gate and Zhenyi Gate; two west city gates, One of the famous gates was built during the Wanli period: Weiyuan Gate; the other gate of the North City was built during the Wanli period and was called the Jingshuo Gate.

?Longtan Sky Shadow?. Longtan is one of the famous scenic spots in Ningxia. Its water is as clear as a mirror. The surrounding mountains, trees, and even the figures of the spectators on the shore can be clearly reflected in the pool. What is even more peculiar is that from the pool You can observe the changes in the sky without raising your head. A cloud shadow or even a swallow flying by can be traced in the lake. If the wind is gentle and the sun is shining brightly, the scene is quite like the famous saying of the great Neo-Confucian scholar Zhu Xi: "The sky is full of light and cloud shadows are lingering." If the weather suddenly changes, Longtan is like "The wind is roaring and the turbid waves are emptying" in Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower". , The sun and stars are hidden, the mountains are hidden, and the canopies are toppled and destroyed, which is a terrible scene.

?Lotus reflects the sun?. It is another landscape of Longtan Scenic Area. The local name is "Lotus Valley". There are continuous rows of high and low lotus flowers in a ditch. Their leaves are fields and their flowers are scorching. They are delicate and weak against the backdrop of the green mountains. And he is graceful and magnanimous, as if competing with the sun and the moon, giving people a strange feeling.

?Liupanyunzheng?. From a historical and cultural perspective, Liupan Mountain is a "red" mountain, because after the Chinese revolution climbed over this mountain, it suddenly opened up. But geographically, Liupan Mountain’s scenery of steaming clouds and rosy clouds is as red in nature as it is unforgettable. Viewed from the bottom of the mountain, the clouds and mist begin in the middle of the mountain and steam upward one by one, like auspicious clouds wrapping around the mountainside. When you are in the mountain, you can feel the clouds growing under your feet, which gives you the wonderful feeling of walking in a fairyland with lotus flowers at each step.

?Xumi Buddha Light?. Xumi Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Yuanzhou District. There are more than a hundred grottoes at its southern foot, collectively known as the "Xumishan Grottoes". The grottoes were first built in the Northern Wei Dynasty and were expanded in subsequent dynasties. , beautiful shape. Among them, the largest statue was built in the third year of Dazhong of Tang Dynasty. It is 20.6 meters high. Its solemn statue and compassionate face arouse the admiration of viewers. Xumi Mountain Peak is full of green mountains, rugged rocks, tall pines, and lush peaches and plums. The mountain scenery contrasts with the light of Buddha, and nature and humanity blend together.

?The wild geese calling in the ancient ridge?. There is a small mountain to the west of Guyuan City called Guyanling. According to folk legend, the Song and Liao had a great battle in Guyuan City. The Liao army was so powerful that they besieged the city three times. The soldiers shot the Song commander's flag at the bottom of the city. The Song soldiers were frightened and the city was immediately destroyed by the Liao soldiers. At that time, wild geese descended from the sky and took the flag of the Song commander in their mouths and put it back on the city. Both Song and Liao believed that this was God's will. When the Song army was advancing, the Liao army had already followed it far away. So people called this big wild goose sitting on the ground "Guyanling". Guyanling Mountain is 2,800 meters high. Standing on its top, you can have an unobstructed view of the mountain city Guyuan. As far as the eye can see, the land of Yuanzhou is full of vitality. It can be imagined that at the time of spring and summer or at the turn of autumn and winter, when the sun sets in the west and the wild geese return north or south, they hear a goose chirp. The vicissitudes of history and the experiences of real life make people suddenly realize.

?Danxia green color?. There is Huoshizhai in Xiji County, which is a national geological forest park. It is a geological Danxia landform. The local people call it "Fire Stone Village" because the rocks exposed to the wild are red. Huoshizhai has a radius of hundreds of miles and is dotted with several towering peaks, large and small. The famous ones include Saozhuling, Shisi Mountain, Zhaobi Mountain, etc. The natural stone city is the most unique. There are several grottoes in the mountains, which are in the same vein as Mount Xumi. The red mountain contrasts with the surrounding green mountains and fields. One red and one green, although not excessive, blend into each other naturally. It can be said to be a miraculous workmanship and a natural creation.

?Plowing and reading make you new?. Longde County is sheltered by Liupan Mountain, with green mountains and green waters all year round. The scenery is unforgettable, but what really makes Longde famous or impressive is its simple folk customs, especially its eternal reputation. , the traditional humanistic spirit that is new in history. Longde belongs to the most barren Xihaigu area in the world. People have always lived in poverty in history, but poverty does not change their aspirations. It is such a place that retains the most praised and proud traditional spirit of our country: farming and studying life. When you are busy, you are plowing the fields. When you are free, you have a book in your hand or a pen. Even when life is getting more and more cramped, Longde people still have couplets on their farmhouse doors and a central hall in their living rooms, even in small villages with three or five households far away in the mountains where no one knows.

When you see the people of Longde, you will see that they are restrained, quiet and profound, which makes people think of Confucius's evaluation of his student Yan Hui: "The wise man returns".

? Chao Na’s legacy?. ?Chaona? is today's Pengyang County. As early as the Qin Dynasty, Chaona County was established. Since the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty Wall, the Tang and Song Dynasty castles, the Ming and Qing ancient pagodas and temples still exist, especially the ancient city of Chaona and the Warring States and Qin Great Wall. They have accumulated profound historical and cultural relics; at the same time, in recent decades, several generations of Pengyang people have worked hard to improve the ecological environment, making the ancient dynasty glow with vitality.

The ancient road is far away. ?When silkworms spin silk, they never expected that they would spin out a Silk Road? This is a famous saying of the famous poet Ai Qing. Similarly, what I did not expect was that spring silkworms in the south suddenly made Guyuan in Shuobei so important and brilliant. Because there is a Silk Road. According to records on Han bamboo slips, Guyuan was a busy place for envoys, merchants, and monks during the cultural exchange between China and the West. This knotted place that the Silk Road must pass through was once a pilgrimage route for thousands of years. Road, the Sino-Western trade route. It is also a road of cultural exchange. The jingle of camel bells witnessed the glory of ancient history. Today, as the Silk Road Economic Belt concept gradually becomes a reality, the distant ancient roads, the clouds of history and the expectations of the future all arouse strange feelings in people's hearts.

?Old Pass, New Song?. No matter it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, when walking in the Guyuan mountains and rivers, you can always see rammed earth city walls everywhere in front of you in the vast land, or the beacon towers of the Qin and Han Great Walls. Although they have collapsed, their former liveliness or prosperity are embedded in them. Entered the memory of history. Guyuan controls Wuyuan on the left, Lanhui on the right, Huangliu flows around to the north, and Kongtong blocks the south. It is the backbone of eight counties and the key point of Wansan Town. The road back to the middle is dangerous and there are many Xiaoguan and beacons. It is a must for military strategists of all ages. Fighting for land, there are many passes. Today, people live a prosperous and peaceful life. Xiaoguan Avenue connects the north and the south. The former pass has either become fertile farmland or a tourist attraction. But when you stop in front of the pass, the former golden horse will still pass through your mind.

The Silk Road was applied for World Heritage status

The Silk Road was a world-famous international trade route spanning the Eurasian continent in ancient times. It was a road for the spread, exchange and integration of Eastern and Western cultures. . Four sites including the Sui and Tang cemeteries of the Northern Dynasties in Guyuan, the Xumishan Grottoes, the Kaicheng ruins, and the Guyuan Ancient City were included in the joint application of the Silk Road Beginning Section and the Tianshan Corridor as World Heritage Sites. They were once listed by the expert group of the China World Cultural Heritage Expert Committee. It is recommended for the list of 48 jointly applied for World Heritage Sites in my country. However, due to the excessive investment in environmental improvement and infrastructure construction of heritage sites (according to the requirements for World Heritage application, the preliminary budget estimate is 1.05 billion yuan), extremely limited local financial resources and the inability to raise relevant funds, it was not included in the list. At the 38th World Heritage Committee meeting held in Doha, Qatar, in 2014, not a single cultural relic in Guyuan was included in the World Heritage List, a missed opportunity to showcase and promote itself.

On November 19, 2014, Li Wenwen, member of the Standing Committee of the Autonomous Region Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Mayor Ma Hancheng met with World Heritage protection experts and International Council on Monuments and Sites who came to Guangzhou to guide the Silk Road application work.

On April 8, 2015, Li Wenwen, member of the Standing Committee of the Autonomous Region Party Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, presided over a standing committee meeting to convey relevant national documents on promoting the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt and study the city’s implementation opinions. The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to fully implement the important decisions and arrangements of the central government and the autonomous region, give full play to Guyuan's location and comparative advantages, seize once-in-a-lifetime development opportunities, and build Guyuan into an important strategic fulcrum on the Silk Road Economic Belt. Build Guyuan into an important strategic fulcrum on the Silk Road Economic Belt.

On May 25, 2015, our city held a demonstration meeting for the "Silk Road" application for world cultural heritage project "Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties Cemetery Protection Master Plan" to demonstrate the design content of the "Master Plan".

At the demonstration meeting, the compilation team of the Institute of Architectural History of the China Architectural Design Institute introduced the content design of the "Guyuan Northern Dynasty Sui and Tang Cemetery Protection Master Plan". The participating cultural and historical experts and members of the Municipal Leading Group for World Heritage Application In-depth discussions were conducted from different angles and levels, and suggestions were put forward in terms of the protection of cultural relics, environmental protection, protection scope and construction control zones, and exhibition planning.
