I. Detailed introduction

Xikou, namely Shahukou, is located in the northwest of Youyu County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province, and is now a famous scenic spot where Xikou Culture is concentrated. The west entrance is located at the Great Wall Pass in Shanxi Province. Out of this western entrance, Shanxi people's business areas include Guihua and Suiyuan in Inner Mongolia, Kulun and Duolun, Ulyasutai and Cobuduo, Xinjiang and kanto region. From here to Yanmenguan, it is the Mayi ancient road that has experienced thousands of years of war.

Second, geographical location.

"Westward" phenomenon, also known as "Eastward" and "South Asia", is the three spontaneous migrations of China people in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Recently, with the popularity of the TV series of the same name, it has aroused public concern. Experts in the field of Shanxi history say that the "west entrance" of "westward advancement" first refers to the killing tiger entrance in Youyu County, Shanxi Province.

Third, the significance of going west.

"Westward Journey" is a bitter history of immigration, but also a history of hard struggle and entrepreneurship. Groups of immigrants left their homes and went north to Mongolia, where they worked hard to develop Inner Mongolia. More importantly, they brought advanced farming culture to the central and western Inner Mongolia, which was in a backward nomadic state at that time, and fundamentally changed the whole local cultural outlook.

With the process of "moving westward", the Mongolian area outside the mouth has evolved from a traditional nomadic society to a diversified society with counties and farmers. In this evolution process, Shanxi immigrants, as the main body of immigrants, have made great contributions.
