Dushikou is an important traffic gateway to the north and south of the outer Great Wall. The situation is very dangerous.

Place name introduction

Dushikou, located in the north of Chicheng County, Hebei Province, is an important pass in Xuanfu town of the great wall of the Ming Dynasty. It is known as "the throat of the upper valley and the right arm of the capital". Because there is a solitary stone rising from the ground at the pass, it gets its name. This single stone towering in front of the pass is engraved with two groups of characters: "sudden and lonely show" and "a stone flying". Dushi city is located in the north-south flow between the two rivers, the left for the Huanglong River, the right for the Qinglong River, backed by spider mountain, so there is "two dragon play pearl" said. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, it was famous as "Shuofang barrier". In 1424, Zhu Di, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, was stationed at Dushi Dayue during his northern expedition. In 1430, he moved Pingwei (today's Duolun, Inner Mongolia) to build Guancheng, which was first rammed with loess and then covered with green bricks. During the 200 years of Ming Dynasty, there were frequent wars and few days of border Thailand. Dushikou was conquered by the Mongolian Wala tribe and the city of Guancheng was destroyed. At that time, Qian Zong, named Tian Kun, died in the battle. Tian Kun's daughter led her soldiers to fight against Japan in blood. At last, she was outnumbered and was surrounded on the cliff south of the pass. Unwilling to be captured and bullied, she jumped off the cliff to die for her country. In memory of the heroine, the later generations took this cliff as a sacrifice cliff. In dushikou City, there used to be an exquisite dushikou temple. There were four scenes in the temple: no beam hall, no shadow tower, no hole bridge and no bell. It is said that the shadow of the tower will not be thrown into the ground from sunrise to sunset on a sunny day. The reason is still unclear.

Historical evolution

Dushikou is located at the junction of the mountainous area in northern Hebei Province and Bashang grassland. It is a pass for Gushui to enter the fortress. It is also a pass for yuanwangyun road to enter the mountainous area from the grassland. It is also a pass for the northern road defense area in Xuanfu (Dusi) defense area in Ming Dynasty.

Dushikou, as the name suggests, is named after the combination of "Dushi" in the South and "Aikou" in the north. In March 1696, Emperor Kangxi Xuanye personally led the Sixth Army to fight against gardan. When he left the fortress, his troops all went to Wangyun ancient road and stayed at dushikou to inspect the dangerous situation and border defense.

Dushikou city was first built in 1430, the fifth year of Xuande reign of Emperor Xuanzong. The city is nine miles and twelve steps away. In that year, Emperor Xuanzong moved kaipingwei, the upper capital, to dushikou city. From then on, dushikou (kaipingwei) became the head of Dusi North Road (Dushi Road) of XuanZhen. It has become "pinghan" of "pinghan".

The construction of Dushi Road Great Wall was completed in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. In the west, it starts from dajianshan (north of suoyangguan) at the junction of Xuanhua, Chongli and Chicheng counties, goes southeast to dushikou, along the watershed between Heihe River and Baihe River, passes through zhenanpu and longmensuo, and ends at madaoliang in Houcheng, and then enters the four seas of Yongning in Yanqing, connecting with Badaling section, with a total length of more than 460 Li.

Since the Qing Dynasty, there has been a council office in dushikou, with Duolun in the north and Yanqing in the south, which is equivalent to today's Zhangjiakou City, and Dushi County in the period of the Republic of China.
