History evolution

Although the pass is located in Guyuan, it is related to the safety of the country, so it is also a national pass. Since the name of "Xiaoguan" was recorded in the historical records of Qin and Han Dynasties, until Song Dynasty, the boundary between song and Xia wars was still named after Xiaoguan. During the period of the Republic of China, the shadow of Xiaoguan can still be seen in the poems, and Xiaoguan is still a symbol of history. The ancients have already written the names of "donghangu, nanwuguan, xisanguan and beixiaoguan" in ZhanGuoCe; the famous writer and historian Sima Qian also wrote the relationship between "beixiaoguan" and Guanzhong at that time in his historical records. Xiaoguan was a dangerous barrier to the north of Guanzhong political center at that time. In the winter of the 14th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, 140000 Xiongnu's cavalry stood out. It was also the place where sun Yin, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, died.

The valley where Xiaoguan is located in the Qin and Han Dynasties has steep mountains and beautiful scenery. In spring, wild peach blossoms bloom on the mountains of wating gorge. In summer, the mountains here are already covered by dense forests and shrubs, and they are lush.
