The mystery of the giant plaque is this world-famous giant plaque. It is about 6 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, with five large Chinese characters "The First Pass in the World" written on it. With its dignified brushwork, strong backbone, and majestic momentum, you can tell at a glance that it must have been written by a master calligrapher. However, apart from the five large characters, there is no signature left on the plaque, which makes people feel a little regretful and confused. There are roughly four theories about the person who wrote this huge plaque. One theory is that it was written by Xiao Xian, a Jinshi scholar in the eighth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty and a native of Shanhaiguan. This theory can be found in "Linyu County Chronicles" compiled in the fourth year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty. However, in the book, the word "according to legend" is added in front of the relevant records, which seems not to be very certain. However, in local folklore, the story about the plaque inscribed by Xiao Xian is very vivid. It is said that after he made a big stroke, he asked someone to hang the giant plaque on the tower. When he looked at it, he found that the word "下" was missing a little. What should I do? ? While the onlookers were talking about it, Xiao Xian grabbed a piece of linen, kneaded it into a ball, dipped it in ink, and threw it upwards, hitting the right spot. This time, the plaque became even more impressive. I think that although this statement is interesting, whether a scholar can have such precise eyesight and extraordinary arm strength is probably only an exaggeration and romance in people's imagination. ?Shanhaiguan Fourth Field Temporary Headquarters and Shanhaiguan Defense War Memorial Hall?

Shanhaiguan Defense War After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the strategic focus of the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was focused on seizing the Northeast. Shanhaiguan, as the choke point leading to the Northeast, is bound to become a battleground between the Chinese and Japanese armies. On August 30, the 34th year of the Republic of China (1945), the troops of the Hebei Reliao Military Region under the leadership of the Communist Party of China took the opportunity to seize Shanhaiguan, which had been occupied by the Japanese invading forces for many years, and controlled the railways, highways and airports. In mid-September, After that, the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Central Leader of the Communist Party of China, Chen Yun, Wu Xiuquan, Ye Jizhuang and others quickly entered the Northeast through Shanhaiguan. Faced with this situation, the Kuomintang, with the assistance of the United States, mobilized a large number of troops from sea and air to gather in Qinhuangdao, and began to compete with the People's Liberation Army for the Northeast. The Shanhaiguan Blockade was the prelude to this battle. ?
The Shanhaiguan Blockade began on October 25 and ended on November 16, with 22 days of fierce fighting. The People's Liberation Army, with nearly 10,000 troops in 6 regiments, resisted the attack of 70,000 Kuomintang troops, which bought valuable time for the Chinese Communist Party's strategic deployment of marching into the Northeast. It played an important role in opening up the situation in the Northeast in advance and delayed the Kuomintang. A strategic move to open up and occupy the Northeast. ?
