When does Qingshan Pass open?
Introduction of Qingshan Pass attractions:
Qingshan Pass is located in the north of Qianxi County, 40 kilometers away from the county seat, a branch of Yanshan Mountain and the hinterland of Daqingshan Mountain. The Great Wall of Wan Li winds through, and the ancient castle is built on the platform at the foot of the mountain, hence the name Qingshan Pass.
The Great Wall of Qianxi was under the jurisdiction of Yuji Town in Ming Dynasty, and it was in the strategic center of the Great Wall because it was close to the capital. It is the most sturdy and majestic town in Wan Li, and also the seat of Company commanders mansion in Yuji Town. In the second year of Gan Qing (AD 1568), Qingshan Pass rebuilt by Qi Jiguang, the main soldier of Yuji Town, was even more magnificent.
Bamian Peak is the highest peak in Tangshan, with an altitude of 842 meters. This peak is steep and steep, with prominent main peak, unique prison building and unique 72-vote building.
Shanhaiguan is the first pass in the world, while Qingshan Pass Watergate is the first pass of the Great Wall in Wan Li, and it is the only well-preserved pull-up Watergate along the Great Wall. Based on the cliff, there are five layers of stones on the base, and the square bricks on the stones are arched in 55 lines. Although it has been baptized by 400 years of war, shaken by earthquakes and washed by mountain torrents, it still stands tall.
The ancient castle in Qingshan Pass is well preserved, with three characters of Qingshan Pass engraved on the forehead of the south gate, and inscribed "Established in October of the 12th year of Wanli of Ming Dynasty (1574)".
Qingshan Pass, named after the Daqingshan Mountain on both sides of the pass, was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. It is guarded by the northern grassland outside the road and reaches Santun Camp in Jizhou Town. Its geographical position is very important and has always been a battleground for military strategists. On both sides of Guancheng, the mountains are opposite and the peaks overlap. The Great Wall of Wan Li flies from the south and winds to the west, which makes Qingshan Pass more dangerous and magnificent. It does have potential. If one person guards it, 10,000 people can't force it. According to historical records, Qingshan Pass was rebuilt many times after it was built, especially after two battles between Qi Jiguang, a national hero, and Duoyan of Mongolia. Qi Jiguang personally supervised the repair, and repaired the Great Wall of Qingshan Pass on the original basis, forming an existing pattern.
On the main road connecting the inside and outside of the Pass, the first thing you see is the site of Qingshan Pass, which is composed of the wall of Sandaoguan Pass. Build relevant gates and sluices at the pass to facilitate transportation and water supply. The Great Wall is connected to the north and south, with heavy troops stationed. Watergate is an arch made of blue bricks. Although first frost has experienced hundreds of years, the perfect shape of Watergate cannot be changed. It is the only preserved Watergate in the Great Wall of Wan Li. The clear water flowing from the Watergate reaches an ancient temple in the forest, which is picturesque and quiet.
From the pass to the south of the Great Wall, the wall along the way has been well preserved so far, and the mouth of the Great Wall fluctuates with the mountain, showing a zigzag shape, with a unique and spectacular situation. There are two unique enemy buildings along the route. One is the prison building, with no doors, only a vent directly above it, which was used to imprison prisoners of war in ancient times. The vent hole is 1.8 feet from the ground, and the wall is smooth, making it difficult to climb. Enemies captured in wartime will never escape from this hole. The second is the 72 coupon building, which is unique in architectural style on the Great Wall. This building is composed of 72 arch coupons of different sizes, with beautiful three-dimensional shape and ingenious combination. This is really a great miracle of the Great Wall architecture.
Northbound along the Great Wall from the pass, there are two grotesque buildings between several watchful enemy towers. One is Fox Fairy House. Although the building is located on the ridge, foxes and other small animals often appear nearby. There is spring water beside the building, which is cool and sweet. It is said that it can cure all diseases. The other tower is the Moon City. Not only is the touching legend about it widely circulated among the people, but with its lonely terrain and tall and straight shape, it seems that you can hug the moon with your hands raised when you climb the building. Looking down from this building, the antique Qingshan Pass Castle looks like an antique jade carving, exquisitely carved.
The ancient castle in Qingshan Pass was built in October of the second year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1574). The wall is 10 foot high and 166 foot long. Looking at the ancient castle in Qingshan Pass from a distance, it is slightly flat from north to south, protruding from east to west, oval, like an ingot, so it is also called Yuanbao City. There are two gates in Guancheng, the main entrance is in the south, and Qingshan Pass is engraved on the top.
In the north of the ancient castle in Qingshan Pass, there are eight peaks, the highest peak in northern Hebei. The peak is 842 meters high. Because of its octagon and octahedron, it is called octahedron peak.
Ancient castle
Qingshan Pass Ancient Castle is the only well-preserved historical building in qianxi county 15 Pass. Apart from natural collapse, there is little man-made destruction.
Qingshan Guancheng is 1.8 ft high, 1.4 ft closed and 166.9 ft perimeter. It was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.
Guancheng is magnificent, antique, rich in frontier culture and folk valley customs. Some descendants of soldiers stationed here in ancient times now live in the fortress. For hundreds of years, they have reflected the legacy of their ancestors in their production and life activities.
The buildings in the ancient castle in the Ming Dynasty include the official residence of a thousand commanders in the Ming Dynasty, the military camp, the military field of the Qi Military Academy, the Guandi Temple, the inn, the teahouse and the restaurant. These historical sites are rich in connotation, and the human landscape and natural landscape inside and outside the castle form a multi-faceted resource combination.
Qingshan Pass Great Wall
The Great Wall of Qingshan Pass was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, with a history of 500 years. It has experienced wind erosion, rain erosion, war and fire, but it is well preserved. The Great Wall of Qingshan Pass has two unique enemy towers. One is the prison building, which was used to imprison prisoners of war in ancient times. This building has no doors, only four ventilation holes. It is one of the unique buildings on the Great Wall of China. The second is the 72-story building with 72 arches, which is unique and beautiful in shape; Among several enemy towers, there are two peculiar towers, namely the Fox Fairy Tower and the Yueming Tower built on the top of the mountain. Echoing the Eight Peaks from afar. In addition, there is a sluice here.
Prison building
Looking from Guancheng, there is a special watchtower in the southeast of Qingshan Pass, which is called Jianlou.
As the name implies, the prison building is a fortress for prisoners of war in ancient times. There is only one stone door in this building with several air holes. The building is about 30 square meters and 40 people can stand side by side. Therefore, if the enemy is captured in the battle, push it along the stone gate and block it with heavy stones. Because the vent hole is 1.8 feet from the ground, the wall is smooth and it is impossible to climb. Once the enemy is captured, he will be cut off. It is said that after the prisoner was arrested, he was pushed into the building without water or food, and died of hunger and thirst a few days later. So all the prisoners in this prison are crying in despair, and their misery can be imagined. According to local rumors, on a dark and windy night, music can hear the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling in the prison building, which is very scary.
Prison buildings are no longer used to imprison prisoners of war, but only for tourists to mourn and watch. There have been years of wars here, and there have been feats of breaking the enemy and crossing the danger barrier, as well as the shame of abandoning the city and betraying the country. The snow and ice in the north, swords and shadows, have created the majestic posture of the men's building. Nowadays, among the flowers and trees, the prison building is like a sleeping strong man, silently thinking about the end of history.
Qi Shi er quan Lou
On the Great Wall at the top of the mountain in the south of Qingshan Pass, there is a peculiar watchtower-Seventy-two Vouchers Tower. The second building is built across the city wall and consists of three parts: upper, middle, lower and lower. The lower part is a base made of big stones, the height of which is the same as that of the city wall. The middle layer is a hollow part with a small corridor structure. There is a stone coupon door on the south wall and a stone coupon door on the north wall, which is located on the west side of the two arrow windows. There are four arrow windows in the east wall and two arrow windows in the west artillery, and there is a observation hole under each arrow. The building is relatively spacious for soldiers to live in and store food and weapons such as cannons, ammunition, bows and arrows. On the internal structural wall, there are many arched closets for garrison soldiers to place their items. Intermediate level is also used by soldiers to fight.
You can go up to the top of Shangzeng Building along the brick stairs on the west side of the building where only one person can go up. There is a tower in the center of the roof, a roof building is built above the tower, and there are cribs around it for soldiers to keep watch, observe the enemy and shelter from the wind and rain. The building is now destroyed.
There are 72 coupons in the windows, doors, ladders, observation holes, structural walls and closets in the building, as well as the sentry box on the roof, hence the name. This building has brick coupons and stone coupons, which are ingeniously combined, beautifully shaped, integrated and unique. At present, no enemy building with the same shape as this building has been found along the Great Wall, which is unique. This building was built by Qi Jiguang, the company commander of Jizhen Town in Ming Dynasty.
In addition to its peculiar shape, the 72-coupon building has another peculiarity: it is said that if you arrive at the building early on the day of shock, when the first sunshine comes in from the arrow window, there will be musical figures on the roof. It is said that these words can predict the direction of rain in that year, so the locals also call it the Water God Building.
Standing in front of the 72 coupon building, you will feel the greatness of the Great Wall, the magic of this building, the wisdom of the ancients and the vicissitudes of history!
Yuelianglou
On a moonlit night, standing at the foot of Daqingshan Mountain, Qingshan Pass Castle looks up to the north. In the dark night shadow rising into the night sky, you can vaguely see the faint shadow of an enemy tower. She stood quietly at the top of the mountain, and the bright moonlight covered her with an ethereal glow. At this time, there may be a breeze swimming like a fish from the direction of the building. In this slight swimming, the viewer seems to hear the faint singing on the first floor, and a strange soothing and comfortable moment swims all over the body.
That building is the Moon Building.
Moon Tower is one of the relatively complete watchtowers in the Great Wall of Wan Li. It is located at the peak of more than 800 meters above sea level, facing the abyss in the north, and the rocks are extremely steep and straight. The south is lush with vegetation and thorns. 50 meters to the west, there is a mountain peak that stands abruptly, skinny and unattainable. The whole building is square, with a height of15m, a length of10m from east to west and a width of10m from north to south. They are all blue brick and white stone structures. The foundation is made of square stones. The largest cornerstone is 3 feet long, 0 feet wide 1 foot, 2 feet thick and weighs about 0.8 tons, and the smallest is about 0.5 tons. What's even more amazing is that these cornerstones on the right are hand-carved, and the gouges are shallow and angular. Faced with these heavy cornerstones, it seems that we can see a staggered jingle ringing at us through the out-of-control of history. The main building above the stone foundation is made of blue bricks, but the east and west doors and eight windows embedded in the four walls are still made of stone, which is full of romantic scenery. There is a roof built by interlocking blue bricks in the middle of the building, which makes the whole building present a heavy and solid style. Standing downstairs, facing this ancient and quaint watchtower, her solemnity will make the gazer equally solemn, and her massiness will make the gazer equally heavy. Once in the building, even in the hot summer, there will be a coolness that goes straight through my heart. Looking from the window, the mountains and plains are flat and there is nothing to see. My mind was suddenly enlightened, and all the distractions and troubles in the world vanished, and I didn't know how to return.
Moon Tower is a magnificent and simple watchtower, but it has a poetic and romantic name. Is there really a tenderness that melts in the blue brick and white stone under the cover of fortitude and fierceness? There are many versions of the legend about the origin of this beautiful name. Speaking of the pavilions and roofs of this building, whenever it is dead of night, I live alone in the building, and the moonlight on the first floor is full of starlight, which makes people feel like they are in a fairyland in the Moon Palace, hence the name; Another legend is that when you climb the Moon Tower on a clear morning, you can clearly see a red sun rising from the eastern foothills of Ran Ran, and at this time, you can also see a bright moon hanging in front of the building. The sun and the moon shine together, as if the bright moon didn't want to go out; There is also a sentence full of romance and mystery: every year on the Mid-Autumn Festival full moon night, birds are tired and quiet, the moonlight is shining, and the breeze is like water. A group of elegantly dressed fairies floated down from the Moon Palace and landed gracefully on the moon. Nong Yu plays the flute and dances beautifully. The content of the legend may be illusory, but the legend is by no means created out of thin air, which contains people.
When will there be a bright moon? Please climb the moon tower. The Moon Tower allows you to express your nine-day lofty sentiments while enjoying poetic romance.
Bamianfeng
Located in Qingshankou Village, Shangying Township, Qianxi County, with an altitude of 842 meters, it is the first peak in eastern Hebei. Because the mountain is octagonal and octagonal, it is named octagonal peak.
Bamianfeng, with an area of about 6.5438+0.6 million square kilometers, is east-west, composed of Archean gneiss, and the surface soil is mostly grass brown soil and cinnamon soil. Here is famous for its steep mountains and towering dangerous rocks, with cliffs, trees covering the sky and birds singing tactfully. On sunny days, either fog cuts the mountainside or clouds wrap the summit; Sometimes Shan Lan is like a gauze, and sometimes it is full of sunshine. It is really a good place to explore secluded places and climb, especially to watch the sunrise at the top of the mountain.
Bamianfeng is not only beautiful in scenery, but also rich in specialties. There are dense vegetation on the mountain, including pine, oak, chestnut, peach and all kinds of trees. There are many wild Chinese herbal medicines such as polygala tenuifolia, corydalis tuber, celery and salvia miltiorrhiza, as well as delicacies such as chestnut mushroom, medlar and ganoderma lucidum. During my stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei had a tenacious revolutionary struggle with the Japanese puppet troops under the cover of mountains. With a selfless heart, Bafangfeng dedicates affection and love to people year after year.
Song Taiping
On the top of an enemy building on the north side of the Watergate, there is a kind of green life-Taiping pine. Although this pine tree is not very tall, it is 100 years old. According to the octogenarians in the village, they often went to this tree to pick pine nuts when they were young. This pine tree was like this at that time. Because this pine tree grows in this special place on the top of the high enemy building, it is very eye-catching and imaginative
This pine tree chose the top of the enemy's Great Wall instead of fertile farmland or sheltered hillside. There is almost no water and soil here, only blue bricks and lime. Bad conditions and malnutrition make the sound factory very slow. There are storms and cold frost and snow here, but it can stand firm, straighten its waist, overcome all kinds of difficulties, and gradually turn its exercise branches into iron and copper, with a firm and unyielding character!
Now, the Great Wall of Wan Li has lost its defensive function and completed its historical mission. A green life grows on the top of this watchtower. This pine tree tells people with its own green color every day here: the past era of repeated smog and swords is gone forever, and now it is a peaceful and happy era!
Therefore, people call it Taiping pine.
Peninsula well
On the hillside outside the north gate of Qingshan Pass Castle, there is a famous inverted well. This well is 10 feet deep, which will not overflow in flood years and will not dry up in dry years. Well water is cold and sweet. When was this well built? Without historical records, it is impossible to verify. It is explained that when Guanxiu City was first built here, the well was already drilled for the army to drink water.
This well was originally inclined to the southeast by 20 degrees, and there is a stone step on the south side of the well, so it is very convenient to lift water directly along the stone step when drawing water. This well is called dumping well, which sounds quite magical. In China, there are legends of drilling wells in many places, but most of them were overthrown by Li Xue, a general in white robes, when Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, made an expedition to the East in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, or during Kangxi's private visit. According to legend, Qingshan Pass's well fall was caused by Qi Jiguang, a national hero, when he was repairing Guancheng. In order to commemorate the benefit of Qi Jiguang's underground well for the people, people named this well as Qi Jiguang's underground well, so as to pass it on from generation to generation.
Unfortunately, after the Japanese army occupied Qingshan Pass Castle on 1943, the overturned well suffered the same disaster as the people here. After the Japanese and Puppet occupied the castle, people knocked down the well with this eye. But not long after, the dumped well suddenly dried up. The Japanese army ordered people to tear down the collapsed well, dig a few feet deep, and then turn the inclined shaft into a vertical well. Although there is water in the well, it is turbid and bitter. After liberation, the well water gradually became clear and sweet. Although this well is already a vertical well, in memory of Qi Jiguang, people still call it a dumping well.
The well water in the dumping well is clear and transparent. The water level in this eye is much higher than that of the well dumped in the river ditch below. It is not only a unique scenery, but also a mirror, which always reflects people's hearts.
Qingshan Pass Watergate
Watergate, also known as Shuiguan, was built in October of the twelfth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. It was built on the east side of the castle, based on a cliff, with five layers of stones and 55 rows of square bricks on the stones. It is arched, with an eight-foot wide door and a foot and four feet high under the upper arch. It is beautiful in appearance, without any decoration, simple, simple and generous. Seen from a distance, the Shuimen Cave rises on the hillside like a crescent moon. Although it has experienced more than 400 years of war erosion, wind and rain stripping, earthquake shaking and several flash floods, its shape has not changed, and it is still solid and straight. Under the water gate, the stream gurgled all the year round, singing constantly, and the clear stream trickled down from the water gate turned into Xiaoqing River at the pass.
According to historical records, there is a bronze door in the Watergate, which weighs 1000 kg. There are four big stone piers around the gatehouse, which are connected by levers and can freely lift the gate. Usually put down the brakes to store water, and the enemy can lift the brakes to stop the enemy when attacking. In addition, the sluice can also play the role of flood discharge, drainage and restriction of pedestrians. In the 13th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, flash floods broke out and the bronze gate was washed away. According to the local people, because the bronze gate was too heavy at that time, the transportation was inconvenient and it was impossible to smuggle it away. Now it may be buried in the river bed at the foot of the mountain. If it can be excavated, it is a precious historical relic.
