"Little Mount Tai outside the Great Wall" Worth a Visit

"Qi Lu Mid-Autumn Festival Tour to Jiming Mountain"

Between the flat land and lonely peaks, the sky and the earth, autumn is thick on the evening of the moon.

Will be Lingding Xiaodaiyue, the clouds are light and the sky is high and the sky is high.

I went to Chongli for skiing in winter in the past few years. Whenever I passed the Xiahuayuan District, I saw a lone peak standing on the North China Plain like a "towering pillar" from a distance. This is a majestic mountain, majestic and magnificent; it is also a magical mountain, with abrupt mountains, jagged rocks, and solitary peaks piercing the clouds; it is also a spiritual mountain, with lush vegetation, lush and beautiful. This is Jiming Mountain, which has a long history, beautiful scenery and profound cultural heritage, and is known as "Little Mount Tai outside the Great Wall". I have always cared about it and yearned for it, but it has never happened. Today coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn is high and crisp, the wind is clear and the air is upright, the sky is blue and white clouds, so I decided to drive there for a visit.

Depart from Shangdi's home at eight o'clock and arrive at Jiming Mountain Scenic Area at about 10:25. The entrance of the scenic spot is halfway up the mountain and can be reached directly by car. Standing at the entrance of the scenic spot, the ancient city of Xuanhua is clearly visible in the distance.

You can enter the scenic spot after exchanging the Jinxiu Jiangshan annual card for free at the tourist center of the scenic spot.

First, walk through a promenade with two pools on both sides of the promenade, and there are many koi in the pools.

Going forward is a large slope more than 100 meters long, which is divided into three platforms. There are more than 20 steps between the upper and lower sides of the platform, and a large white marble relief Danbi in the middle.

The themes of these three relief paintings are "Confucius Teaching", "Lao Tzu Leaving Customs" and "Nine Dragons Bathing Buddha". Everyone is familiar with the first two stories. The third story "Nine Dragons Bathing Buddha" tells the story of Sakyamuni after his birth, his mother took him to the river to take a bath. At this time, nine dragons appeared in the sky. Open your mouth and spit out clean holy water to bathe the Buddha.

Throughout the relief, the Buddha stands on the lotus petals, and nine dragons flash out of the clouds, opening their mouths to spray holy water to bathe the Buddha.

According to the records of "Huailai County Chronicles", during the Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Turks invaded the Central Plains, and the border people were not at peace. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty personally conquered the Turks and once stayed on this mountain. He heard the sound of chickens crowing on the mountain at night, so it was called Chicken Crowing Mountain.

On the high-level platform, there is a wooden archway with four columns, three doors and two floors. On the Panlong Column, there is a plaque in the middle of the archway, engraved with the three characters of "Jiming Mountain". Here is the intersection up the mountain.

After walking up dozens of steps, there is a small house at the end, which is the mountain temple.

When I arrived at the mountain temple, there was a man inside holding incense and asked me to go in and burn incense. I declined, I didn't go in, I just looked outside.

There are upward steps on both sides of this small house, and a wooden sign is erected beside the steps. On the left side it says "Ladies, please come up from the left", and on the right side the wooden sign says "Men, please go up from the right". It seems that there are still rules and regulations when going up the mountain.

The road up the mountain is a slope made of white stone and cement. It is a bit slippery, but it is easier to walk.

Walk up about tens of meters, and you will see a small pavilion with a stone tablet in the middle of the pavilion.

On the front of the stele are written six characters "Namo Amitabha Buddha", and on the back are also six characters "Om Mani Ba 𠺗 Hum".

After passing the "Amitabha Stele Pavilion", hovering upwards, there is another octagonal pavilion not far away. There is a white marble statue of Buddha in the pavilion, which looks a bit like the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The stele is covered with a glass frame, and many tourists stuff banknotes into the glass frame through the glass gap. But I searched around for a long time, but I couldn't find any written introduction to this stele pavilion. I don't know whether the white marble Buddha statue stele inside is carved by people today or is a cultural relic more than 1,000 years ago.

Going up, at about 10:30, we arrived at the Temple of Wealth built on a high platform, and the gate opened under the platform.

Enter the gate, go up the steps on both sides, and you will arrive at the courtyard of the Temple of Fortune.

On the southernmost wall of the courtyard is a group of relief paintings engraved with "Twenty-Four Filial Piety".

The entire courtyard of Caishen Temple faces east from west, and the main hall on the east side is Fushou Hall.

In the Hall of Fushou, there are three stars of Fu Lu Shou and Marshal Zhao Gongming, the god of wealth and wealth.

Going up a few steps westward from the Fushou Hall, there are three main halls on the front, the God of Wealth Hall in the middle, the Cheshen Hall on the left, Wenchang Hall on the right, and side halls on both sides, which are now the housing of the staff.

About ten meters away from the Temple of Fortune is the Empress Dowager Xiao Pavilion, which is a hexagonal pavilion with a single eaves.

Empress Dowager Xiao is an outstanding female politician in history. She was once in charge of the imperial court of Liao Jingdi and Liao Shengzong. She "rules the way wisely, and obeys what is good". She is not only proficient in the art of war, but also has the ability to govern the country. She concentrated her forces to launch a large-scale attack on the Song Dynasty in an attempt to expand her territory and dominate the Central Plains. Empress Dowager Xiao has long taken a fancy to this beautiful and fertile grassland near Jiming Mountain. After the war with the Song Dynasty, she occupied a large area of ​​land and opened it up as the upper, middle and lower royal gardens. The rare flowers and precious trees have become one of the famous royal gardens in Liao. Empress Dowager Xiao often stayed here to discuss state affairs, plan strategies, train troops, and deploy troops. It became a political, economic, military, and cultural center for a while.

Beautiful in shape, simple and elegant, the Empress Dowager Xiao Pavilion in Liao Dynasty style is a unique beauty. Empress Dowager Xiao was afraid of the heat, so she built a pavilion in Jiming Mountain. In the hot summer, she often went to the pavilion to cool off. People called it the Pavilion of Empress Dowager Xiao.

Beside the Empress Dowager Xiao Pavilion, one can vaguely see the murals on the wall. The surface of the murals has been mottled and peeled off with the vicissitudes of time, showing desolation.

Standing on the Empress Dowager Xiao Pavilion, the Yongning Temple halfway up the mountain in the distance can be vividly seen.

Going up again, there is a fork. One side is still made of cement and white stone, leading to the slope road of Guanyin Temple (the small courtyard in the distance is Guanyin Temple), and the other side is much steeper. The upward step road is the "Dharma ladder".

The Dharma ladder is divided into three sections. I first walked up the two sections connected at the bottom. According to the introduction, each should be 81 levels, and there are more than 162 levels in total.

Looking down at the Temple of the God of Wealth from the Bodhidharma ladder, it looks very small.

Looking up, the clouds are rolling and the clouds are relaxing, and the strange rocks are jagged.

Looking into the distance, Xuanhua City is clearly visible.

After walking the first section of the Dharma ladder with more than 100 levels, you can go to Yongning Temple by walking up the Dharma ladder. I plan to visit the temples halfway up the mountain carefully when I go down the mountain, so I didn't continue to walk the second section of the Dharma ladder, but took the slope on the right to climb up the mountain.

Jiming Mountain is called "Little Mount Tai outside the Great Wall", and there are also winding roads on the mountain similar to the eighteen winding roads of Mount Tai. As the height increases, the scenery in the distance is also quietly changing.

Walk up Panshan Road, pass by Mastiff Rock and Welcome Terrace in turn, and arrive at Wolong Stone at about 11 o'clock.

According to records, Emperor Kangxi personally conquered Galdan and returned to the court triumphantly. He passed by Xiahuayuan and saw the majestic and beautiful Jiming Mountain.

Walking to the mountainside, a stone on the side of the road is as flat as a bed, so I sit down and rest, listening to the singing of birds, witnessing the beautiful scenery in the mountains, I am suddenly inspired, and lead to a lyrical poem: the bird path is empty near the Saiyuan, and the Yanghe River is like a belt around the root of the mountain , Stop Luan to see the situation along the border, touch the vines on the stone with your hands. Because Emperor Kangxi once rested and recited poems on this stone, which was widely recited by the local people, Wolongshi was also named after it.

Touch the huge Wolong Stone and feel the adventure with Emperor Kangxi.

Next to Wolong Stone is the starting point of the downhill slide. It costs 25 yuan to buy a ticket. From here, you can slide directly to the Temple of Wealth, with a vertical drop of about 150 meters.

At an altitude of about 988 meters, there is a viewing platform, from which you can overlook the entire Xuanhua City to the north, and you can also see the Yongning Temple on the mountainside and the pagodas and halls at the foot of the mountain.

There is a hole on the side of the road, named Zhusha Cave, go into it to find the legend of Zhusha.

The main peak of Jiming Mountain is called Luotuofeng. The top of the mountain is connected to two small peaks that are about 200 to 300 meters away, like a pair of humps.

A single-hole stone bridge is erected between the two peaks, which is called the shelter bridge. It is all made of stone, solid and beautiful. The stone-paved bridge deck is two meters wide and 12.5 meters long, with white marble guardrails on both sides, and ten watchtowers on each side, with large and small stone lions carved on the capitals. Crowd and play, in various poses and with different expressions, vivid. The walls are carved with figures, flowers, birds, animals, fish and insects, which are very beautiful in shape. At this high altitude of 1128.9 meters above sea level, even if there is a strong wind, as long as you board the shelter bridge, there will be no sound of wind at once, and everything will be quiet. This is a must outside the Great Wall and rare in China.

There is also a beautiful folk legend about this shelter bridge. It is said that at the Queen Mother's Peach Blossom Meeting, Fengshen, who had cultivated himself from jackals, smashed the Nine Dragons God Pot, and the Queen Mother demoted him to the air outlet on Jiming Mountain in a fit of anger. The god of wind often gets angry, and when he gets angry, there will be strong winds, flying sand and stones, hurting many people. One day, LV Dongbin went to play on Jiming Mountain and saw the wind god so rampant, so he wanted to subdue him. With a wave of his hand, LV Dongbin transferred a big pine tree from Huangyang Mountain. It turned into this bridge, and then turned these stone lions to restrain Fengshen. Then he drew out the sword and swiped it, causing Fengdu to emerge from the bridge hole. Don't let a strand of it go over the bridge. This wind-sheltered bridge integrates technology, literature and art, embodies the ingenuity of craftsmen, is a precious cultural heritage, and is of great research value. In recent years, the wind shelter bridge has been rebuilt, the bridge deck has been refurbished, and the guardrail has been strengthened. Although it has not been able to fully restore the style of the wind shelter bridge, the characteristics of the wind shelter bridge still exist. Enjoy the beautiful scenery here, and experience the pleasure of flying in the sky without wind.

From the entrance of Jiming Mountain Scenic Area to the top of the mountain, the vertical height difference is about 400 meters. The road is a winding slope, which is not very steep, and it is easy for most people. Walking all the way to see, it only took 55 minutes to climb to the top.

11:20 arrived at the top of the mountain, I went to the west of the peak first.

Walking through the shelter bridge, you can see a brick gatehouse with the three characters of Nantianmen written on it. This is the inner side of Nantianmen.

After entering Nantianmen, the first thing you see is Lingguan Hall, which enshrines Wang Lingguan, and there are exquisite murals on both sides of the hall.

There is a stone stele in front of the left front of the Lingguan Hall. The handwriting has been vicissitudes of time, and the handwriting is no longer clear.

Going forward is the Jade Emperor Hall, which is dedicated to the Jade Emperor. This hall is the highest point of the entire Jiming Mountain, with an altitude of 1,200 meters.

The mural on the east wall of the Jade Emperor Hall is a bit messy. The official hats on it are mainly from the Song Dynasty, but there are also a few Tang Dynasty ones.

The location of the Jade Emperor Hall is at the highest point, and you can see the sunrise platform in the distance to the east.

Looking down, the Yongning Temple on the mountainside looks very small.

Then there are two temples on the west side, the middle one is under construction, I don't know its name.

There is a big bell hanging in front of the hall.

The westernmost one is Bixia Yuanjun Hall, which enshrines Bixia Yuanjun and two other empresses.

This hall is the oldest Taoist temple in the Jiming Mountain Scenic Area. It was built in the fifth year of Taihe, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (481 A.D.), and it has existed since. . .

There are several small bungalows on the westernmost side of the mountain, where Taoist priests live.

The weather is very good today. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, the heroic aura of "I will be at the top of the mountain and see all the small mountains at a glance" suddenly emerged from my chest.

Especially on the south side of the mountain, it is almost a cliff. Looking down, the peaks and ridges are like canine teeth, extremely steep, and the calves are a little weak when looking down.

It is said that there is a stele on the top of Jiming Mountain 1,500 years ago when Emperor Taizong of Tang stayed there, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. Instead, I saw two steles, one of which was the reconstruction stele of Jimingshan Temple engraved during the reign of Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty.

The other one is because the actual age is so long that the handwriting on it can no longer be read clearly. I don't know if it is the stone tablet of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty who stayed in Jiming Mountain.

I also saw a few horse-tethering stone posts with clear engravings. Although they are antique, they feel that they should be modern works.

Go east through the shelter bridge, and then walk to the peak on the east side, where you can see three dilapidated temple bases.

In terms of style, this should be a Ming and Qing building. Although dilapidated, it is full of historical vicissitudes.

The roof is gone, only the brick wall can be seen vaguely. From the plinths on the ground, it can be seen that there are corridors in front of the hall.

Sitting on this mountain in the east, looking east, you can see strange rocks and sea of ​​clouds. This is the best place to watch the sunrise in the morning, so it is also called "Sunrise Terrace".

According to netizens, watching the sunrise at Jiming Mountain is also surprising. In the early morning, standing on the sun-observing platform on the east roof, the weather is dawning, the stars are sparse and the moon is dawning. Gradually, thousands of dawn rays radiate from the horizon, like ten thousand golden swords unsheathed, and the red sun wears With the golden crown slowly showing its head, the face is getting bigger and bigger, rising slowly, the bright sun illuminates the mountains, rivers and fields colorfully, and the earth is full of vitality.

After staying at the top of the mountain for 20 minutes, you can go down the mountain after visiting the Guanri Terrace, and go to Yongning Temple on the mountainside.

As the saying goes, "Going up the mountain is easier than going down the mountain." Of course, this is just a common saying. Going down the mountain is much easier than going up the mountain. If anyone insists on thinking that going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult, then I would rather change with him, let him go up the mountain and I go down the mountain every time.

It took only ten minutes, less than 12 o'clock, and I arrived at Yongning Temple.

Yongning Temple was built in the fourth year of Taiping (1024) of Emperor Shengzong of Liao Dynasty. It is the largest temple in Jiming Mountain.

Yongning Temple is built on the hillside. It is not large in scale, but it has relatively high regulations. First, the yellow glazed tiles on the gate and the main hall indicate that this temple has "royal blood". It is said that Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Shengzong of Liao Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xiao, Emperor Yuanshun, Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Shengzong of Qing Dynasty all visited the temple. From this mountain, enjoy the scenery of the northern country;

Second, the two halls are combined into one to build a two-story hall, which is also a characteristic of the "mountain temple".

The gate of Yongning Temple is facing the direction of the mountain. When you come down from the mountain, you can just enter from the main entrance. It seems that it is the right choice for me to choose to visit the temple when I go down the mountain.

Yongning Temple is built on the mountain, and its construction is extremely difficult, and its regulations are not so cumbersome. There is no grand mountain gate in the whole temple, only a small gate. Above the gate is the former director of the Chinese Buddhist Association, former member of the Hebei Provincial Political Consultative Conference, honorary chairman of the Hebei Buddhist Association, chairman of the Shijiazhuang Buddhist Association of Hebei Province, and Lin Zhengding County of Hebei Province. The abbot of Ji Temple, the name of the temple inscribed by Shi Youming, the forty-fifth successor of Linjizong.

Entering the gate of Yongning Temple, first is the Hall of Heavenly Kings. The same as the usual regulations, the front of the Hall of Heavenly Kings is Maitreya Buddha, and the four heavenly kings are on both sides.

Behind the Maitreya Buddha in the Heavenly King Hall, there is not a statue of Weituo Bodhisattva like the usual temples. Because the temple is relatively small, there is only a portrait of Weituo Bodhisattva on a wooden board behind the Maitreya Buddha. This painting seems to be old.

Going further inside the Tianwang Hall, you will see a tall and majestic two-story hall.

The first floor is the Ksitigarbha Hall, where the golden body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is enshrined in the middle, and the tenth Yama is on both sides.

When I first entered the main hall, I was still wondering, there should be eighteen arhats and eighteen statues on both sides of other halls, why there are only ten here? After thinking about it, I realized that this is the Ksitigarbha Temple, and the ten people on both sides should be the ten kings of Hades.

There are several portraits on the north wall of the Dizang Hall, which should be the abbots of Yongning Temple.

Yongning Temple does not have a bell and drum tower, and the bell and drum are placed on the first floor of the main hall.

From the steps on both sides of the hall to the second floor is the Mahavira Hall, in the middle is the Buddha Sakyamuni, on both sides are Manjushri riding a green lion, Puxian Bodhisattva riding a six-tusk white elephant, and eighteen arhats.

Looking down from the Daxiong Hall, the courtyard of the temple looks very crowded, and the Hall of Heavenly Kings looks much smaller.

The Daxiong Hall is built along the cliffs of the mountains. Going out from the back door of the Daxiong Hall on the second floor is the backyard of the temple. There are three halls horizontally arranged in front of the courtyard, namely Confucius Hall, Sansheng Hall and Laozi Hall.

This is Confucius enshrined in the Confucius Hall, flanked by Yan Zi and Zeng Zi.

In the middle of the backyard is the Sansheng Temple, which enshrines the Three Buddhas.

On the easternmost side of the backyard is the Laojun Hall, which must be dedicated to Laozi. This style is a typical style of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism" that combines the universal truth of Sakyamuni with the specific practice of China.

Looking down from the west wall of the backyard, you can see the Guanyin Temple and the Temple of the God of Wealth.

Going from the front yard to the backyard is equivalent to going up one floor. In addition to walking up from the wooden stairs in the main hall, there is a two-meter-high small hole on the right side of the base of the main hall to walk to the backyard.

The words "Xingkongmen" are engraved on the top of the cave.

From the Xingkong Gate to the courtyard below, there is a hole in the mountain wall next to it. There are three words "Wu Zen Cave" written on the top, and two words on each side, one is "Guanxin" and the other is "Awakening".

The door of the "Wu Chan Cave" is ajar. Push the door open and enter the cave. This is really a cave. Inside is the place where monks live, with several beds and tables.

In addition to the accommodation supplies, I also saw a 40-year-old Panda brand nine-inch TV. This object has been so long in my memory. It does feel cool in the cave, cold and damp.

Go out from the gate of Yongning Temple, walk along the wall of the temple to the side, and you can see the upper section of the Dharma ladder, with a total of 108 steps. It is said that every time a tourist climbs up the Dharma ladder, there will be a crisp sound every time they step on a step, and the sound will be louder than the other, and the sound will fall back into the valley. People feel very novel.

Get down from the upper part of the Bodhidharma ladder and walk tens of meters to the right to reach the Guanyin Temple.

In history, Jiming Mountain was very popular with incense, and temples were built in many places. At its peak, there were 108 temples.

The scale of Guanyinyuan is small, but the gate tower is very exquisite. There is a statue on the left and right inside, which is the second general Hengha.

There is a niche directly above the inner side of the gate tower, which enshrines a golden statue of Wei Tuo Bodhisattva, which is somewhat different from other temple gate towers.

After entering the courtyard, you can see two small rooms on both sides of the temple gate. Inside are a big bell and a drum, which serve as the bell tower and the drum tower.

The scale of Guanyin Temple is small, and there is only one courtyard in the incense burning area. The small courtyard faces south from the north, and on the east side are two halls connected together, one is the Ksitigarbha Hall and the other is the Pharmacist Hall.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva enshrined in the Ksitigarbha Hall.

The Pharmacist Buddha is enshrined in the Hall of Pharmacists.

There is a house on the west side of the courtyard, which is not used as a hall to worship the gods, but as the office of the local Buddhist association.

The main hall on the front is the Yuantong Hall, in the center of which is enshrined Guanyin Bodhisattva, and on both sides are Manjusri Bodhisattva riding a green lion and Samantabhadra riding a white elephant.

There are two couplets at the entrance of the Yuantong Palace. The upper couplet of the couplet near the middle is: "Merciful Days, Chang Ming, Ten Thousands of People Praise Ten Thousands of Spirits."

There is a moon gate on both sides of the main hall leading to the small courtyard behind. I didn't notice the words "visitors are not allowed to enter" on the gate, so I walked in. After a while, a monk from behind chased me and told me that this is not a place to visit.

It turned out that this small courtyard was the residence of monks.

After visiting the Guanyin Temple, the main attractions of Jiming Mountain are finished. Walk down the mountain road from Guanyinyuan, pass the God of Wealth Temple, and return to the Jimingshan Memorial Archway in less than ten minutes.

At the same height as the Jiming Mountain memorial archway, there is a main hall and a hexagonal seven-level brick pagoda. The main hall is very majestic, with double eaves resting on the top of the mountain, five rooms wide and three rooms deep, covered with golden glazed tiles. But it is still under construction and not open.

It is said that there is a grotto in the Northern Wei Dynasty at the foot of Jiming Mountain. The stone sculptures in the cave are realistic in shape and rich in imagination, reflecting the superb stone carving art of 1,500 years ago. It is said that it can be compared with Yungang Grottoes in Datong City and Beiyue Mountain in Hunyuan County. Hengshan Hanging Temple on a par, but unfortunately I did not find.

12:40 Return to the parking lot of the scenic spot, drive away from the Jiming Mountain scenic spot, go to the Xiahuayuan area for lunch, and then go to Xuanhua Ancient City.

Because I made a special trip to Xuanhua Ancient City on the National Day of the previous year, I didn’t go to Zhenyuan Building, Nine Dragon Wall, Baoen Temple, Xuanhua Museum, etc. 3729764.html ), but drove directly to the west gate of the ancient city that I didn't reach last time - Daxinmen.

Daxinmen, located in the west of Xuanhua District, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, is the west gate of Xuanhua during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is now one of the landmarks of the ancient city of Xuanhua and a national key cultural relic protection unit.

The Great New Gate is a free attraction, which can be visited directly on the city wall. And parking is very convenient. There is a parking lot in the southwest corner outside the city gate, and there is also a parking lot on the inner side of the city gate close to the city wall in the south. After parking the car, you can go directly to the city wall from here.

The ancient city of Xuanhua has a long history. In the early Zhou Dynasty, Xuanhua and its adjacent areas were still the grazing areas of northern nomadic tribes. During the Warring States Period, Donghu occupied them. The State of Yan used general Qin Kai's plan to defeat Donghu, expand more than 1,000 miles of land, and set up Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaodong, Liaoxi and other counties. Xuanhua District belongs to Shanggu County.

In the Qin Dynasty, Shanggu County was still established, and Xuanhua City was under the jurisdiction of Juyang County, Shanggu County. The Western Han Dynasty basically followed the system of prefectures and counties, but divided the whole country into 13 departments of governors and history, and set up governors to supervise counties and counties. Xuanhua belongs to Luoluo County, Shanggu County, Governor of Youzhou. "Xuanhua County New Records" contains: During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, did the Youzhou Department set up? Lixian County is now the northern border of Xuanhua; there is Xiangluo County, which is now Xuanhua, and the city is in the east of today's city. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xuanhua City still belonged to Luoluo County. Recalling thousands of years ago, this place was also "Qin Shi Ming Yue Han Shi Guan"!

During the Taikang period of the Jin Dynasty (280-289), Guangning County was established in the west of Shanggu County, which belonged to Youzhou, and under the jurisdiction of Luo, Pan, and Zhuolu counties. Xuanhua City is under the jurisdiction of Xialuo County, Guangning County, Youzhou. Xialuo is the whereabouts of the Han Dynasty. "Book of Jin. Geographical Records" stated that Guangning belonged to Shanggu, Taikang Zhongzhi County was the captain, unified the three counties, Xialuo, Pan, and Zhuolu. "Xuanhua County Xinzhi" made an annotation on this: Pan and Zhuolu are now Baoan Prefecture.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, in the 10th year of Taihe (486), Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Heshanggu and Guangning were established as Dongyan Prefecture, and Guangning County was established in Guangning County, and Xialuo was merged into Guangning. "Shui Jing Zhu" pointed out that Xialuo was Guangning County, Weiyan Prefecture, and it was the county government of Guangning. According to this, the jurisdiction of Xuanhua City belonged to Guangning County, Guangning County, East Yanzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In the first year of Gaoyang Tianbao (550), Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, changed Dongyan Prefecture to Beiyan Prefecture, and led the two counties of Changning and Yongfeng. Xuanhua City is under the jurisdiction of Huairong County, Yongfeng County, North Yanzhou. The prefectures and counties ruled the present Huailai City. In the third year of Sui Daye's reign (607), Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty abolished North Yanzhou and relocated it to Zhuojun, which governed today's Chicheng, Zhuolu, and even Beijing and Tianjin. The jurisdiction of Xuanhua City still belongs to Huairong County, which was changed to Zhuo County.

At the beginning of Tang Dynasty, North Yanzhou was restored, and later changed to Guizhou, belonging to Hebei Road. During the reign of Xizong Guangqi to Zhaozong Longji (885---889), it was analyzed that Wuzhou and Wende County were located in the west of it, which belonged to Hedong Road. Xuanhua City was the state and county seat at that time. During the Five Dynasties, Shi Jingtang ceded 16 prefectures of Yanyun to Khitan, including Wu prefecture. Khitan changed Wuzhou to Guihua Prefecture, which still governed Wende County and belonged to Xijing Road. Xuanhua City is still the seat of Guihua Prefecture and Wende County.

In the seventh year of Dading in the Liao Dynasty (1167), Huazhou was changed to Xuanhua Prefecture; in the eighth year of Dading, it was changed to Xuande Prefecture, and Wende County was still in charge; Both belong to Xijing Road. Xuanhua City is the county seat of Xuande Prefecture. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Xuande Prefecture was changed to Xuanning Mansion, and then changed to Xuande Mansion. In the third year of Yuan Dynasty (1337), it was changed to Shunning Mansion due to the earthquake. The prefecture governs three counties: Xuande, Xuanping, and Shunsheng, which belong to Shangdu Road of Zhongshu Province. Xuanhua City is the seat of Shunning Prefecture and Xuande County.

In the Ming Dynasty, Xuanhua was an important border defense town without a local government. Xuanhua City was not only the seat of the left guard, right guard, and avant-garde guard of Xuanfu at that time, but also the residence of the guarding general officer, so it was called the town of Xuanfu. In the 32nd year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1693), the Xuanfu Guardhouse was abolished and replaced by Xuanhua Mansion and Xuanhua County. Xuanhua City is Xuanhua Prefecture and the county seat.

In 2005, the Xuanhua District Party Committee and the district government raised more than 8 million yuan to rebuild the Daxin Gate on the original site. The repaired Daxin Gate is mainly composed of piers, gate towers, horse paths, etc., fully displaying Xuanhua's important military town and famous historical and cultural city. And the style and appearance of the first mansion in the west of Beijing. This is a stele built with stones after the reconstruction of the Daxin Gate.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, many newlyweds got married. In just ten minutes of visiting the tower, we met two couples taking wedding photos.

The flower beds outside the Daxin Gate!

At 15:10, the trip to Jiming Mountain Xuanhua ended, and we drove home!

Generally speaking, I am still very satisfied with this trip to Jiming Mountain, and I have achieved the purpose of pleasant mood and physical exercise. On the one hand, today’s weather is very good, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, the air is upright and the wind is clear, and the climate is pleasant; second, Jiming Mountain has both natural scenery and cultural landscape, with a rich history and unique scenery, all of which are excellent. After the visit, you can give Third, the height of Jiming Mountain is a more suitable mountain climbing exercise for people of my age. It is neither very high nor very tiring. At the same time, the vertical height difference of 400 meters It also makes me feel the hard work of exercising. Next spring, come and feel the spring warmth of Jiming Mountain!
