Visit old wide Wu, throat a sigh

Guang Wu, and mountains of Yin City, located in theShanxiIn Shanyin County of city of Shuozhou Province, is absolutely the core in the whole Yanmenguan defense system. Always south to the northern nomads, must "lead Guangwu, Yanmen after".

Historically, in Guang Wu bloody than two hundred times. General Wei Qing, Li Guang, Yang industry all write in too thick and heavy in colours heroes; so far, Guangwu city has more than 200 households Aboriginal, claiming to be "general" Li Guang's descendants, they knew almost every building, every mountain Guangwu city has a huge story; Han tombs, however, the grave the master is still a great mystery, some people say is the chaotic mound burial Memorial, also some people said is the legendary "lie in grain"......

Now widely Wu, in the local general meeting is called "old Guangwu" and "new wu". Of the two ancient city, there is a strange Minyan, called "Metro is not new, old not old". The reason is, new wide Wu was built in the Ming Dynasty, but the foundation is used in the Warring States period sites, is the reconstruction of old Wu was built; and wide Song Liao period, in fact than Metro was founded in late 1000 years.

Guang Wucheng

I first visited the old Guang wu. Old Wu is currently China's most widely as one of the song and Liao City complete city life, currently about 200 families, a lot of people surnamed Li, claiming to be "general" in Han Dynasty of the descendants of Li Guang. And they said, this is called Guang Wu, is because the patriarch Li Guang troops in the future, "wide" and "Wu", to the city named.

The argument is based on the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, indeed, often in the area of war. Han Emperor three years (154 BC), Hirotake set up the Yin Hall County, to prepare for the troops, it is the "flying General Li guang. After visiting, the author found that the city of Li Guangyou, a special feeling, not only each and every family to Li Guangfeng as God, even to speak as long as involving Li Guang, a proud and honored with language.

Crumbling ruins

Not only is the Han Dynasty, later very long period of time, Hirotake has also been a strategic. For example, between the two countries have in Liao Wu near the boundaries, the Song Dynasty general Yang industry leader in many campaign; Yang industry's son Yang Yanzhao (i.e. the folk legend, Yang Rokuro) later also follow the example of our ancestors, the troops here as the arsenal. Today the ancient city in South 400 meters place, is actually the song camp, someone had picked up a bow and arrow in there.

By the Ming Dynasty, the famous bingbushangshu Yu Qian rate army in the fight against Wala, this situation has been to "Longqing peace", the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia tribes that ended decades of war state in Guangwu along wide, old Wu was temporarily achieve peace, as both foreign and border trade.

May be too much historical influence, the city "on the history of" the atmosphere is very strong, especially the indigenous people, they knew almost every building, every mountain story. With the help of a cigarette with an old man to catch the words, the old man at a nearby school: the school is in a long history of the temple temple built on the ground, called "Buddha School", the school yard there are two tall cedar, a male and a female, is in the northern Song Dynasty time for the growth of more than 900 years, now.

Once the battlefield

Well preserved because, in 2006, the old wide Wu as the ancient building, listed in the Sixth Batch of national key cultural relics protection units. At the end of the year to better protect the old city, 2005, Shanyin county government has built 7000000 investment immigration village in the west of the city, the town planning the relocation of residents in the past, but for this policy, the city people do not buy it, many people refused to move, must keep the old Guangwu city "root".

Walking around the old Guangwu city walls, you can see clearly the crenel and shot hole of the city. Incomplete, there are many weathering, but does not prevent see it at the beginning of the majestic. A week, I found an interesting phenomenon, that is the old East, West, South three Guangwu have gate, north gate but not. To the local people to ask, originally, the defenders, the enemy is always from the north to attack, so in order to defense, simply turning off the North gate......
