The Shu Road is as difficult as climbing to the sky

From Xi'an to Jianmen Pass Cross the Qinling Mountains, pass through Hanzhong, walk through the misty Bashan, and stop at the majestic Jianmen Pass. Upon closer inspection, it really is "one man guards the pass, ten thousand are unable to get through." When passing through Mian County in Hanzhong, I got off the highway to visit the Wuhou Shrine and Dingjun Mountain (the last six photos), and couldn't get over my "Three Kingdoms complex." In Chinese history, the Central Plains have been in constant turmoil since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the Bashu region was also not peaceful. In order to weaken the national power of the Qin State, the Han State sent the water engineer Zheng Guo to the Qin State, claiming that he could build a canal to nourish Hanzhong, and the Qin State would have thousands of miles of fertile land. Initially, it was to consume the labor force of the Qin State, so that they would be unable to wage war, but in the end, it really did create thousands of miles of fertile land for the Qin State. Later, King Hui of Qin sent Sima Cuo to destroy the Shu State, and the Qin State no longer had any worries. The road into Sichuan was through Jianmen Pass. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, it is worth mentioning that according to statistics, there are more than 80 places in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" related to Jianmen Pass, Among them, chapters 116 to 118 describe the "Battle of Jianmen Pass" The scenes are thrilling and soul-stirring, leaving readers with endless aftertastes. People once summarized the rise and fall of the Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms as, "Rising in Jiameng, falling in Jianmen" As the throat of entering Sichuan and the fortress of northern Sichuan, Since Zhuge Liang set up a pass at Jianmen Pass relying on the natural danger of Jianmen Pass, Jianmen Pass has always played an important role in history. Later, during the Five Barbarians' Rebellion, more than 100,000 Han and Di ethnic farmers from six counties including Tianshui (now eastern Gansu) fled to Sichuan, also passing through Jianmen Pass. When visiting historical sites, it is better to slow down, as every stone may have a story to tell. The next attraction is Langzhong Ancient City.
