The Warring States Qin Great Wall in Yan'an starts from the south of haolingou village, Miaogou Township, Wuqi County in the west, enters Zhifang Township, Zhidan County, Xuecha Township, Wuqi County, and Hongliugou Township, Jingbian County in Yulin area through Wugu urban and rural fringe. The total length of the Great Wall is about 235 km.

brief introduction

The Qin Great Wall in Weiyuan was built after emperor Zhaoxiang of Qin destroyed qurong in the Warring States period. It is one of the oldest sections of the Great Wall in Chinese history. In the west, it starts from Shawang tomb in dongsanlipu, Lintao, goes from changchengpo of dongyugou to Yangshan to Weiyuan County, passes through ten or four villages and towns, namely di'erpo, fanjiawan, wenchanggong, qinwangsi, shibaozi, chenjiawa, fangjialiang, Chenghao, gaozuishan, Majiashan, xiayantan and Yangshan, and enters Longxi County from yehuwan.

The remnant height of this section of the ancient Great Wall is about 3 meters in most sections, and more than 10 meters in a few sections. It rises and falls along the city wall, with small beacons every other mile, and a large beacons every other mile, which is magnificent. The ramming layer under the city wall is clear, and Qin tiles are everywhere. The Qinwang temple at the foot of the Great Wall is said to be the place where the first emperor of Qin visited Longxi County (junzhidi Road) for a night. Later generations built the temple to commemorate the emperor's visit to the West. Once the original temple was built into three courtyards, it was magnificent. There was a theater hall outside the mountain gate. There was a deep well in the back yard of the temple, which was called "Qinwang Yinma well". Beside the well, there was a thousand year old tree, called "Qinwang shuama tree". There was a well in the temple In the first year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1465 AD), the big bell (2 meters in diameter, 3 meters in height and weighing 4800 Jin) was built by the three counties of long, Wei and Lin.

Most of the temples of Qinwang temple were destroyed in the war during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. The clock was smashed and made into steel in 1958. At present, there is only one main hall in the backyard (rebuilt in the 23 years of the Republic of China), one side hall on the left side of the front yard (repaired in the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty), three rooms in the east wing of the yard, and all the rest are in ruins. There is a lyric poem on the remaining murals of the side hall: "the Wei River flows day and night. I don't know when the battle will end? The ruins of the great wall are here, but there is no king or marquis of the Qin Dynasty. The great wall of Qin Dynasty in Weiyuan County is under provincial protection.

describe

The Qin Great Wall site was discovered in 1987 in two places. One starts from zhuanshuimiao village in Balasu town in the South and ends at Xiangyang Village in bulanghe Township in the north, with a total length of 25 km and intermittent extension. The widest part is 30 m and the average height is about 1 m. There are many rammed soil layers, but the ramming marks are not obvious.

The other one starts from the south of balasuqiaojiamao in the East and ends at Jingjie village in hongshiqiao Township in the west, with a total length of 14 km. The remnant walls are intermittently continuous, and the rammed earth layer is 15-20 cm thick. The remaining piers are 9 meters wide and 5 meters high. Along the two sections of the ancient Great Wall, a large number of white gray pottery, gray pottery with sand, black pottery and a small amount of red pottery fragments are found, and the patterns on them are mostly blue, thick and thin rope waves, checkered patterns and accumulation patterns. At the same time, we also found the single foot and its fragments, stone artifacts and quadrangular iron arrows, which were commonly used in the Warring States period. According to the research, it is the site of the Great Wall from the Warring States period to the Qin and Han Dynasties. According to the biography of Xiongnu in the history of Han Dynasty, Meng Tian died for more than ten years, the princes rebelled against Qin, China was disturbed, and all the exiles of Qin went back to the border. So the Xiongnu had to be lenient, and then they crossed the border between Henan and China slightly to release the old fortress. " The so-called "gusai" refers to the great wall of Qin built by Emperor Zhaoxiang of Qin Dynasty and found in Yulin City today.

In Baotou, in addition to the Zhao Great Wall built by Zhao Wuling, there is also a relatively complete section of the Qin Great Wall.

In the 32nd year of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty (215 BC), Meng Tian, a general of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, led 300000 troops to attack Xiongnu in the north and take Henan Province. In order to prevent the invasion of the northern nomads, he built the Great Wall from Three Norths in the West (now Minxian County of Gansu Province) to Liaodong County in the East (now Liaoning Province). It extends from Ningxia to Inner Mongolia, from Langshan to the East, through xidoupu, Yinhao and Damiao Township in the north of Guyang County, Baotou City, to Wuchuan County, through the east of Daqingshan, and to Hebei Province.

The total length of the Qin Great Wall in Baotou city is about 120 km, most of which are built on the north slope of the mountains, close to the mountains and take the potential because of the slope. The valleys, passes and plains are mostly built with rammed earth, while the mountains are mostly built with stone or earth rock mixture. Generally, the relics of the stone great wall are well preserved, and the existing ones are generally more than 4 meters high, 4 meters wide at the base and 2 meters wide at the top. Standing high, you can still see the Great Wall going up and down the mountain like a dragon. At intervals, you can still distinguish the remains of ancient beacon fire and barrier city. Inside and outside the great wall of the Qin Dynasty in Baotou, there are 8-9 ancient city sites, around which pottery pieces from the state of Qin to the early Western Han Dynasty can be found.

Qin City not only has its own style in the construction method, but also has certain characteristics in the construction of defense facilities. The great wall of Qin Dynasty is famous for its magnificent stone buildings. It was used in the Han Dynasty. It is not only a treasure of our Chinese nation, but also a miracle in the history of world architecture. It is also a symbol of the glorious history and culture of our Chinese nation.

Qin Great Wall Site in Minxian County

In the 33rd year of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty (214 BC), general Meng Tian led 300000 people to build the Great Wall, stretching from Lintao in the west to Liaodong in the East. Where is the beginning of the west end of the great wall of Qin Dynasty? In recent years, scholars in Lintao have made some beneficial investigations on this issue, and the achievements are gratifying. However, some comrades confuse ancient Lintao with modern Lintao. The historical basis is insufficient. Today, there is a section of Qin Great Wall Site in Lintao, but it was built by King Zhao of Qin Dynasty, while the city built by the first emperor extended to the west of Minxian County due to its extensive expansion.

According to Yuanfeng jiuyu Zhi, "there is no historic site in Xizhou (now Lintao), and the great wall of Qin is at the boundary of minzhou." In Tang Dynasty's Yuanhe county annals, Song Dynasty's Taiping Huanyu records, Ming Dynasty's history reading Fangyu summary and Wang Guoliang's ancient Great Wall of China, it is said that "the starting point of Qin Great Wall is Minxian". According to the minzhou article in du you's Tongdian zhoujundian, the great wall of Qin Dynasty is located in Kongtong mountain, 20 miles west of the county, and from the Taoshui river beside the mountain to the East, that is to say, Lintao County of Qin Dynasty is here Kongtong mountain is Wutai Mountain in dagouzhai, west of Minxian county. This is the turning point of Taohe River, opposite to the site of Diema in Minshan township. Tieguanmen village at the foot of dagouzhai mountain is the starting point of Qin Great Wall. There were signs here in the past, and then they were destroyed by villagers.

The great wall of Qin Dynasty originated from Minxian county. There are a lot of relics and sites to prove. First, Minxian county has a large number of Qin currency. In 1947, a kiln collection of Qin Dynasty was found in Zhongbao village, Minxian county. Tens of thousands of Qin banliang copper coins were unearthed. Second, there are widely distributed Qin tile remains. A large number of qinwabu sites are quite wide. Longwangtai in the east of the city, Baita temple and bandagou in Minshan Township in the north of the city are common. In Minxian City, there are more Qin tiles in the yejiaya culture accumulation layer (now in Minxian hospital); third, there are a lot of artificial trenches in the northern mountain area of Minxian. Zhuoping trench is located in the northwest of Zhuoping, about 40 kilometers away from the county. The moat is composed of two parts. One extends downward along the southwest side of the ridge, passing through the secondary platform and reaching the Taohe beach. It is about 4 kilometers long and is called "ancient moat" by local people. The other one is located at the front of the foot of the mountain. It connects with the ancient city moat at the side of the stream and extends northwest to the south of Maliantan village, about 1.5 km long. The local people call it "Hu Dao". The moats in the ancient city are 5-11 meters wide and more than 5 meters deep. The bottom of the moat was reclaimed by villagers and turned into farmland. According to the local villagers, "the ancient city moat has existed since ancient times." we infer from the collected tiles that this is the site of the Qin people. The starting point of the great wall of Qin Dynasty is the tiemen gate in Shili Township, and the trench in Zhuoping area is a strong evidence. There is no doubt that the Great Wall site is located in Minxian, and the first place is also in Minxian.
