Development history

Since ancient times, it has been an important traffic road in the hinterland of Taihang Mountain between Hebei and Shanxi, and a place for military strategists. Jingxing ancient road, since ancient times, Yan Zhao Jin Qin guests, east-west exchanges, an endless stream, known as "Ji Jin thoroughfare.". The ancient post road has been lost for a long time. It seems that it was from Luquan yingzhuang to Pingding Baijing in Shanxi Province through Shangan, Jingxing, Banqiao, changshengkou and Niangziguan. In 1940, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army launched a hundred regiments war on the Shijiazhuang Taiyuan line. Jingxing is known as "Taihang eight Xing fifth Xing, the world's ninth plug sixth plug". Jingxingguan is the fifth of the famous "eight Xings of Taihang". Xing is where the mountains break off. "Taihang Baxing" is the eight natural channels that cross Taihang Mountain and cross Taihang ridge. Xingkou generally has a pass, which is a place for military strategists in the past dynasties. "Lu's spring and Autumn Annals, you shi" has "what is nine fortresses?" Jingxing is the sixth largest city in the world. "Taiping Huanyu Ji" says: "four high, the central down, such as the deep well, such as the stove of Xing, Yan Zhao said the ridge said Xing, down as well, so Jingxing."

Main attractions

East Tianmen pass

Jingxingkou East Tianmen pass city -- connecting Qin, Jin, Yan and Zhao. There are two 18 meter long ruts at the bottom of Guancheng, which are the most dangerous and narrow section. This section of road bedrock stone surface is obviously lower than the two sides, this is the "Yan Jin thoroughfare" of the channel. When the road was just built, the road surface was high. Relying on the road surface to cover Guancheng, there was a lot of traffic. The wheels rolled and pressed the same place for a long time. The rut was deep to a certain size, and the roadbed was uneven. The convex stone supported the car body and could not move. The craftsman had to chisel the road surface higher than the rut under Guancheng, and then chisel it again. The lower passage of dongtianmen city has chiseled nearly 2 meters of stone foundation down. By 1907, when the Zhengtai railway was opened, the roadbed would have been leveled once in about 500 years, thus forming today's gateway to witness the vicissitudes of life. East Tianmen is a Shuangguan City, which is divided into East Pavilion and West Pavilion. The distance between the two pavilions is less than 50 meters. The two pavilions are divided into East peak and West peak of BAISHILING. They are guarded by troops and rely on each other. At the bottom of xigeguan City, there are artificial paving stones, and the traces of stone replacement can be seen in the rolling part of the middle vehicle.

Six aspect stone

Six aspect stone: 170 meters west of the West Pavilion of East Tianmen, there is a section of steep slope road with a length of about 70 meters. The square stones are of different sizes. The larger ones are 1.35 meters long and 0.55 meters wide; the smaller ones are 0.4 meters long and 0.3 meters wide. The square stones are arranged in order and scattered. Most of the stones are limestone, which are made from local materials, and a small part of them are granite. This section of road is wide, with the widest part about 7 meters. Build a 0.3-meter-thick vertical stone between the roads every 20 meters or so. It turns out that this is a stone sill for heavy vehicles to stop when they go up the slope and for vehicles to slow down when they go down the slope. It serves as a cushion stone for the wheels. It is also the creation of the working people to use six aspect stones to pave the road. When the front face is rolled and pressed into a concave shape, it can be used for six times in a row. It can be seen how ingenious the craftsmen were at that time, and the ancient road of the Qin Emperor also embodies the wisdom and hardship of the Jingxing people! According to the research of Henry cleare, a world heritage investigator of the United Nations, this ancient road is more than 100 years earlier than the ancient Roman road. The reason why Jingxing ancient road can be partially preserved is due to the construction of Zhengtai railway in the late Qing Dynasty and the change of Jingxing dangerous road. People gradually forget this dangerous and difficult section of about 7 km.
