Li Kan, the censor of the governor's capital, asked Guning Huajun to set up a pass at the gate and set up a capital to command and lead the army's garrison. So it was started in March of that year, Dinghai (1467), and the city was completed in April of the next year (1467). The general army was used to suppress it, and it was called a town. The north of the city is located on Huagai Mountain. Because of its height, it overlooks its east, south and west sides. It is four miles apart, with a base of five feet and a half width. It is three feet high and has a strange gate. It has a gate on its east, west and south sides and closes the north. The east gate is called "Rensheng", the west gate is called "Renhe", and the south gate is called "Yingxun". There are heavy towers built on top.

". The city is narrower in the north and south and longer in the east and west. Its shape is oval, and it looks like it is covered with a towel, but it is all built of earth. In the first year of Wanli (1573), the governor Zhao proposed to build it with stones to increase the height, even to the length of the parapet wall, which was four feet and two feet, but to no avail. In the thirty-fourth year (1606), Ningwu Dao Guo Guangfu began to use bricks, and built the east and west gate cities, both of which were made of bricks. The main building was more than 1,700 feet long and three feet and five feet high. The gate to the west is called "Yongning", and the gate to the south is called "Fucai"; the gate to the east is called "Jiu'an", and the gate to the south is called "Jieyu", and there is a cut below.

Du Ning Wufu School, with Wuzun Sutra Pavilion, is not comparable to the regulations of the Ministry of Rites, and cannot be accepted. At that time, Yuanshu, the Marquis of Wei in Yongping, was in charge of the county affairs, so he cooperated with Shi Zuoji, the commander of Ningwu, Li Shimeng, the commander of Shenchi, and Liu Yaogui, the commander of Wuzhai, and they all donated money from their salary to officials to pay for the book value, so they were able to take it back.

Ninghua City: In the sixth year of Song Jiayou's reign (1061), the Ninghua Army was established at the pass for the Xixia people in Hexi Province. It was built on the site of the Fenyang Palace in the Sui Dynasty, and it was built in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1369), the Ninghua Inspection Department was established. The commander of Shanxi Province sent the Changshou Taoist Marshal officers and soldiers to the camp. They cut off six miles and 270 steps of the old city and the Guanxiang in the south, and built the city on the east hillside of the city according to the situation. Two miles and one hundred and ninety-seven steps, the transfer was not completed. In the fifth year (1372), Yan'an Hou Tang Zongsheng and Qianhu Tang Cheng succeeded in their success.

At that time, there were one thousand households, one patrol officer, and one city manager. There is Jinglecang, which is still the Ninghua Inspection Department. Ningwu County:

Huagai Mountain: The north of the county is adjacent to Guo Mountain, overlooking the city. There is a particularly beautiful peak, shaped like a canopy.

Guanchuan Mountain: The first name is Yanjing Mountain, which is sixty miles southwest of the county. It is seven miles high and five miles around. There is Longchi below, which is the source of Fenhe River, and there are other mountains and mountains, which are winding far and near, and are connected with each other. Although it has a different name, it is actually the same mountain. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says: The mountain of Guanxun has no vegetation but many jade. I will never hear it today.

Guan Chun and Yan Jing, "Wei Zhi" was divided into two parts, which is because they are still historical errors and have not been verified. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says: From the mountain of Guanjuan, the Fen River comes out of Yan; "Huainanzi": Fen comes out of Yanjing. Li was good at injecting Fen water, and quoted Kan Peng's "Thirteen Prefectures" as saying: Fen came out of Yanjing. Guan Chun also has a different name, which is why the mountain is so clear. The ancient people occasionally called Te Er differently, or it may have had two names in the past. As listed in "Wei Zhi": Yanjing is located twenty miles southwest of the county, Guanxun is sixty miles southwest, and Fenyuan is located in Guanxun, and their forces are not connected. In "Huainan", is it possible for the Kan family to simply say that "Fen came out of Yanjing" has a different name? The name "Yanjing" mentioned in "Wei Zhi" may not have had this name at the beginning of the mountain. Most of them were later added by those who were interested in geography. After passing it on for a long time, they thought that they could not tell the difference.

Luya Mountain: It is located in Ninghua Center, Jiushili in the southwest of the county, and connects the two mountains of East and West Matou and Gaoqiao Mountains. There are many mountains, steep walls and thin winding roads, running through Wuzhai, Kelan and Jingle.

Liupanling, where horses and chariots arrive on foot, all make six turns before going up. The name of "Guozhi" is well-earned. The meaning of "Liu Fan" is the same as "Liu Pan", which may not be the result of vulgar corruption, but its old original name is "Loufan".

Fenghuang Mountain: It is located seven miles south of the county and connects Liupanling and Guo County. The peaks on the left and right of Fenghuang Mountain belong to the network, including Zifeng Mountain, Hengshan Mountain, Lianhua Mountain, Duanjiashan Mountain, Diaohu Mountain, Maqi Ridge, Niujialing, Songcun Ridge, and Bawu Ridge, all of which are mountains south of the city.

It is commonly known as the "Male and Female Haizi". The pool flows from the southwest, exits the gorge from Zhongshan Temple in the north of Ninghua, and pours into Fenshui. In the Tang Dynasty, Tianchi and Yuanchi pastoral supervisors were set up to herd horses, which was their land. "Shui Jing Zhu" says: Sangqian Spring is also the water of Pujiu. The elder said: The water is submerged in the large pool of Yanjing Mountain in the north of Fenyang County, Taiyuan. The pool is on the mountain plain. It is called "Tianchi" in the world, and it is more than a square mile away. The clear water does not flow, the bright light shines, there is no grass in the pool, and the wind is falling, and there are often birds throwing their mouths out; the sun is not consumed, the rain does not overflow, and the depth of the pool cannot be measured. There was a car on the side of the pool. Suddenly there was a strong wind and it floated into the water. Someone caught the wheel in the Sangqian Spring, so it was known that the two waters were flowing submergedly. There is another stone pool across the river to the east of the pool, which can only be reached fifty or sixty steps away. It is clear, deep and mirror-free, and is no different from a large pool.
