historical origin

As the most representative scenic spot of Hohhot, Zhaojun Museum, with its unique historical and cultural connotation and beautiful ecological environment, has become an important place for tourists to learn about Inner Mongolia, the long history and splendid culture of Hohhot. The number of tourists in the scenic spot has always been around 500000.

It is said that Hu Hanxie, the southern Hun, came all the way from Mobei to meet Zhaojun. They braved the wind and snow all the way to the edge of Heishui. They saw Shuofeng howling and the horses could not move forward, so they had to stop on the spot. Then Zhaojun got off the horse and played her lute. All of a sudden, the wind stopped and the snow stopped, the sky was full of rosy clouds and auspicious clouds; the ice and snow on the ground melted and everything revived. In a short time, all of them were covered with fresh grass and gorgeous wild flowers, the shady mountains in the distance turned green, and the black water nearby was clarified; countless larks, cuckoos and magpies flew and cried over Zhaojun and Danyu's horses. " "The people of Chanyu and Xiongnu were so happy that they settled here. Later, Zhaojun and Chanyu traveled all over the foot of Yinshan Mountain and the north and south of the desert. Where Zhaojun went, there was abundant water and grass, and people and animals were prosperous. When they went to the place where there was a lack of grass and water, Zhaojun's Pipa appeared on the ground like a jade belt river and green grass. Zhaojun also had a beautiful brocade bag. She took a few seeds from it and scattered them on the ground. From then on, there were crops outside the Great Wall. She took a pair of gold scissors from the bag and cut them into plows, carts, sheep and horses with sheepskin. When she put them on the ground, they became iron plows and wooden carts. There were flocks of sheep, horses and camels around the wooden carts. " "Many years later, one night, a red light suddenly flashed on the ground, followed by a loud noise. The next morning, people found that there was a small earth mountain growing on the ground, and there were colorful floating clouds on the top of the mountain. People say: This is Zhaojun's return to heaven after completing the mission entrusted to her by the Jade Emperor. This hill is Zhaojun's tomb today
