China is a country with a long history. There are no specific historical data on how many wars it has experienced for thousands of years, but many ancient buildings stand there, helping us witness the change of dynasties and the rise and fall of the times.
The Great Wall of Wan Li is one of the wonders of the world. Historically, the Great Wall of Wan Li helped us resist foreign enemies. The existence of the Great Wall in Wan Li now makes us feel the wisdom of the ancients and remember the history. There are many important fortresses in Wan Li Great Wall, including "Nine Blocks in the World", namely today's Yanmenguan, Chu Great Wall, Huangcaoliang, Jingxingguan, Juyongguan, Badaling Great Wall, Zijingguan and Pingjingguan.
Yanmenguan is the first of the "Nine Wonders in the World". It is located in Yanmen Mountain, Daixian County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province. Because of its strategic location, Yanmenguan has experienced many major events.
Since Zhou Muwang visited important territory more than 3,000 years ago, Yanmenguan has experienced various historical tests.
During the Warring States Period, Zhao ruled Yanmenguan. At that time, the famous Li Mu was guarding. He once defeated the Huns by luring the enemy in depth. This war made the Huns afraid to invade the south again.
We are familiar with the historical events about Yanmenguan in history, including Liu Bang's pursuit of Han Xin and Xiongnu, Zhaojun's departure from the fortress, Wenxi's return to Han, and Yang Jiajiang's repeated defense of the Song Dynasty to repel Liao.
Yanmenguan has always had an important strategic position in ancient times, which made Yanmenguan a place for many wars. It is with this fortress that we have a well-known historical story of defending our country.
