After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Shanxi was on the second step of the motherland, and Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces (North China Plain) around Shanxi were on the first step. A natural barrier between the first step and the second step is the majestic Taihang Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles. From ancient times to the present, there are only a few tunnels in Shanxi, Hebei, Shanxi and Henan, and these tunnels are steep cliffs and rugged rocks, making it difficult to pass. The ancients said "Taihang Eight Dragons". For thousands of years, out of military needs, it is natural to set Chen Bing on the Taihang dangerous road to prevent risks.
Pingshun Hongtiguan is an ancient pass set on such an ancient road.
Five hundred years later, Hongtiguan and the ancient road of Shanxi and Henan still maintain their original appearance. While investigating the ancient customs, retracing the ancient road, from the uprising to the Li Zhi rebellion, the new monument buildings, from the grain merchants, business trips and transportation in Shanxi and Henan, to the mountain inn, many stone walls, hundreds of years of ancient charm, endless bandits, confrontation between the government and the people, and Jedi soldiers; It is as vivid as my eyes.
