Guarding the throat of Xiaohan, it is adjacent to Hengling in the west, juejian in the East, Qinling in the South and the Yellow River in the north. The terrain is dangerous and the road is narrow. It is known as one of the earliest fortresses in China. It is also known as "tiankaihan Valley strengthens Guanzhong, Wangu Jingchen flies northward".
"Shuangfeng towering river side, since ancient times, a battlefield of Han Guan." In more than 2000 years since the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, Hanguguan has gone through the struggle for hegemony among the seven heroes, the struggle between Chu and Han, the peasant uprising by Huang Chao and Li Zicheng, and the war of 1911, the war of resistance against Japan and the war of Liberation. No matter chasing the Central Plains or forging ahead with Guanzhong, Hangu pass has always been a strategic place for military strategists. Many battles here have affected the process of Chinese history.
Hangu pass is not only a military strategy, but also a thoroughfare to Chang'an in the West and Luoyang in the East in ancient times, and the intersection of Central Plains culture and Qin Jin culture. There are too many legends in the magic Hangu pass, and each legend is continuing the magic of Hangu pass.

Tang Taizong, Tang Xuanzong, Sima Qian, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Sima Guang and other historical figures and scholars came to Guan to recite poems and Fu, and more than 100 of them have been handed down so far.
In the fourth year of King Jing of Zhou Dynasty (516 BC), Lao Tzu, a famous thinker and philosopher of our country, resigned his official post and left the pass to the West. Yin Xi, then commander of Hangu pass, looked east one day. Suddenly, he saw purple sky and knew that there was a strange person passing the pass. He met him in person. When he saw Lao Tzu riding a green ox, Yin Xi kindly asked him to write a book and stay in the world And it has been handed down through the ages. As for this historical fact, Sima Qian recorded in historical records - biographies of Laozi Hanfei that "Laozi's moral cultivation is based on self concealment and anonymity. Living in Zhou for a long time, seeing the decline of Zhou, he went away. At this critical juncture, Guan Ling Yin Xi said, "I'm going to be a hermit. I'm going to write books for you." Therefore, Lao Tzu wrote the first and second chapters of the book, saying more than 5000 words about morality. I don't know the end of it. " Sima Qian's account indisputably proves the historical fact that Tao Te Ching was born in Hangu pass, and the word "Ziqi Donglai" has become a classic symbol of Chinese culture.

Tian Tongxiu (Prince Chen Wangfu joined the army) said: "I dreamed that the emperor Xuanyuan told me" I have a talisman in the air of Danfeng gate, in Yinxi's former residence. "He ordered the envoy to get it by the side of Yinxi stage in Hangu pass Renchen, the official's name, is "letter Valley spirit Fu, latent corresponding to the year; congenital, please add the word" Tianbao "to the honorary name" February, Xinmao Change Taolin county to Lingbao.
