Tongguan

Tongguan, located in the eastern part of Guanzhong Plain, is one of the most famous passes in ancient China, which is located at the intersection of Qin, Jin and Henan provinces. Records of Shanhaiguan said: "Tongguan and Shanhaiguan are the only dangerous places in Guinea."

The situation in Tongguan is very dangerous, with Qinling Mountains in the south, Forbidden Valley in the southeast and 12 Liancheng in the south. In the north, Weihe River and Luoerchuan will embrace the Yellow River. It's near Hua Yue in the west. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the mountains are stacked, the valleys are steep, the mountains are high and the roads are narrow, and Zhongtong has a narrow narrow path that can only accommodate one car and one horse. In the past, people often compared the danger of the situation here to "narrow road danger and ape struggle" and "the road between people ends in Tongguan"

Tongguan has a long history. According to the Book of the Tang Dynasty, "the previous life was Taolinsai". "Zuo Zhuan" also records that "the Duke of Jin ordered Zhan Jia to guard the Taolin". At that time, Taolin ranged from the east of Tongguan to the west of Lingbao County, Henan Province. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought in Tongguan, and the name of Tongguan first appeared in history.

Tongguan Guancheng was located in Nanyuan Port in Han Dynasty, near Yangjiazhuang. In the seventh year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (AD 6 1 1), Guancheng moved to Yangjiazhuang, the northern village of Cheng Nan, and confronted the Han Guancheng, forming two Guancheng. The situation is even more dangerous. In the second year of Wu Zetian in Tang Dynasty (AD 69 1 year), Tongguan was moved from the original place to the original place, and a road was built along the river, which is now Tongguan.

In order to consolidate their dominant position, rulers of past dynasties stationed heavy troops here and set up customs guards. Now Tongguan has been repaired many times since the Song and Ming Dynasties, and it is still well preserved. There is a gatehouse built in Ming Dynasty in Ximen, commonly known as "Pagoda", which is magnificent.
