Yanmenguan is an ancient place name that many people are familiar with. I believe most people in China have heard of Yanmenguan.

1, historical introduction

Yanmenguan, located in Yanmen Mountain, about 20 kilometers north of Daixian County, Shanxi Province, China, is an important pass on the Great Wall. Known as "the first pass in China", it is known as "the world is blocked with nine blocks and the wild goose gate is the first".

Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, there have been more than 2,000 wars in Yanmenguan, such as Mu's voyage to the Western Ocean, Zhao Wuling's "riding and shooting" battle, Wenxi's return to Han, Zhao Jun's expedition to the north, (Qin) Zong Lubei, Han Gaozu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Bai, Xu Da, Xue Guiren and Cixi's Southern Airlines.

In the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong (177 1), another passage was built by the roadside, and a "separation monument" was set up at the fork to specify the route for vehicles to enter and leave. It is the earliest existing traffic regulations and signs in China.
