Ancient Tunnels of Border Pass in Song and Liao Dynasties

introduce

Xiongxian County was known as Xiongzhou in ancient times. It was a frontier fortress in the Northern Song Dynasty and a battleground for military strategists. Today, there are many war relics in Xiongxian County, among which the ancient tunnels of the Song and Liao border passes are typical.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, this was the junction of Song and Liao. It is said that Yang Yanzhao, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, guarded here for 16 years without losing an inch of land. Xiong County is located in a plain area, so there is no danger to rely on on the battlefield. Yang Yanzhao's repeated victories are not unrelated to the tunnels built at that time.

Since 1964, green brick structures have been discovered in Qigang, Guzhuangtou, and Xing villages in Xiong County due to irrigation and soil borrowing activities. Experts identified them as underground passages used for military defense during the Song and Liao dynasties.

Tunnels have three military uses: one is to hide and transport troops; the other is to quickly transmit information; the third is to use acoustic principles to monitor the enemy's situation. Sauce glaze vats, projectiles, iron arrowheads, etc. have been unearthed in ancient tunnels.

It is worth taking the children to see the ancient tunnels at the Song-Liao Border Pass. The tunnels are warm in winter and cool in summer, and you can learn about the history of the Yang family’s resistance to the Liao Dynasty. It is very good. There are not many people in the scenic spot, it is clean, the environment is good, a good place for leisure, convenient and inexpensive.

I went to the hot springs in Xiong County in early January and found that there is still this scenic spot in Xiong County. In the county, the navigation is very easy to find. In 1993, the Song and Liao Ancient Battle Road Site was announced as a key cultural relic protection unit in Hebei Province. Archeology, Song and Liao war history, and tourism geographers inspected and appraised that the building materials, building structures and characteristics used in ancient battle paths should be durable defensive military projects, which have the same war function as the Great Wall. Such a huge underground defensive The discovery of military engineering has filled the gaps in historical records and is a major discovery in the history of our military. It can be called "historical wonders, the underground Great Wall". Entering the tunnel, the whole scenic spot is not big, and I personally think that it can be finished in half an hour. The exit and entrance of the tunnel are two pavilions. The space inside the tunnel is larger than imagined, and the ancients are really full of wisdom.

The Song-Liao Border Pass Tunnel is located in Xiong County, which was a frontier fortress in the Northern Song Dynasty and a battleground for military strategists. Waqiao Pass, one of the "Three Passes" in history, was established here. Inside, there are conference hall, lounge, armory, etc., as well as Mihun Cave. The tunnel is made of blue bricks with basically uniform specifications and quality. There are living facilities such as ventilation holes and water storage tanks.

"Tibetan Soldiers Transporting Troops Walking Tunnels" The ancient tunnels of the Song and Liao border passes, where the hero Yang Yanzhao was stationed. Guarding Xiongzhou for sixteen years, he defeated Wu Luegao repeatedly. Tibetan soldiers transport troops through tunnels, while the prison guards pass on information about the enemy's situation. Yang Liulang, the nemesis of the Liao state, was a powerful national security guard at the frontier.

It’s the second time I’ve come here to live in Happiness Dutch in Hot Spring City. I’m very moved by giving away tickets for the attractions recommended by the butler. The overall is good. The management of the scenic spot is more considerate. The tour guide explained it in detail. The stewed fish cooked by the housekeeper himself at noon is delicious. Praise the service of Tujia Huanshu, must be 5 points, thank you for bringing us a wonderful weekend
