The origin of Jiuquan name:

The origin of the name Jiuquan in Gansu actually has a story of a heroic and romantic winner. It was during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in China, when the Huns made an insurrection for the Central Plains. They came here all day to kill and set fire, and they were much tired. The people complained and the emperor was very angry. I just want to be a monarch, and it's not a problem that you always give me trouble. So the decision that "this boy is too annoying to spank" came down, and the magnificent imperial counterattack in history began.

One of them is a very handsome young general named Huo Qubing, who has the greatest military exploits. He plowed through caves and sealed wolves in professional places, which made great achievements that no one had ever done before. He beat the mighty Xiongnu out of the water, and finally some fierce and arrogant people fled to Europa, making a mess of the beautiful country, and Rome was finished in the blink of an eye. Haha, you can imagine how tough the Han army was at that time. After that, our Chinese nation was proud of being a strong enemy, and it was at this time that we laid our confidence in the future. When Mr. Huo returned to the place that was not called Jiuquan at that time, the emperor's celebration wine arrived. Unfortunately, there is only a small jar, and the handsome guy himself is not enough to quench his thirst. Of course, it would be understandable if he drank it alone, but he didn't do it. He poured the wine into the stream so that everyone could drink the spring of victory and experience the taste of victory.

Later, he also participated in many wars to drive away the invaders. Unfortunately, he was only 24 years old when he died. He left the famous sentence: "Why stay at home before the Huns are extinct?" There is also a beautiful name Jiuquan.
