History and Humanities

It used to be a garrison in ancient wars. At the end of the Warring States period, the famous "battle between Zhao and Xiongnu" took place in the area of Sumu mountain. The historical records records recorded the historical facts that Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao state, broke through more than 100000 Xiongnu cavalry in the area of Sumu mountain. After Qin destroyed the six countries, a large number of people moved to the north for reclamation, and connected the great wall of Qin, Yan and Zhao. Now the ancient Great Wall and beacon tower to the west of Sumu mountain are still winding between the mountains.

Sumu mountain is the birthplace of Tuoba Liwei, the ancestor of Tuoba Li. Tuoba Liwei was the first person of Xianbei to establish a political power in Xinghe. According to "Wei Shu · Di Ji · Xu Ji", the ancestor of tuobajiefen, the founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty (later named as emperor Shengwu, that is, the father of emperor Liwei), led the majority of the tribe on the way to move south, and led tens of thousands of knights to meet fairies falling from the sky when they were hunting in Panyang mountain (today's Sumu mountain). The fairy said to Tuoba jiefen, "I am the daughter of heaven. I will meet you and marry you at the order of the Jade Emperor.". Tuobajiefen and the fairy met in Panyang mountain (today's Sumu mountain). The day after their marriage, the heavenly daughter said goodbye and made an appointment to see her son off next year. The next year, Tuoba jiefen came to the place where he hunted last year. As expected, he met tiannu again. Tiannu handed over the white and fat boy in her arms to jiefen, and said that this is your son. Raise him well and grow up. In the future, he will be the emperor for generations. This child is Tuoba Liwei. There are records in Wei Dynasty: "emperor jiefen has no wife's family, Emperor Liwei has no uncle's family.". It means that emperor jiefen has no wife, and Emperor Liwei has no uncle.

Tuobaliwei, the leader of Xianbei, the ancestor of the founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, lived in Changchuan for 39 years. After a war, Xianbei was unified and its capital was moved to Shengle (now Helingeer) in 258. In the sixth year of Taihe of Jin Dynasty (371), Tuoba Li, the emperor Taizu of Wei Dynasty, was born in shenhepi (today's Tongyao Xiaochengzi in the north of Sumu mountain, where tiles once appeared and "Shengle county" was engraved in the shade, which is a strong evidence). In the 11th year of the Taiyuan Dynasty (386), tuobawei ascended to the throne and set up niuchuan (Changchuan, located in Tuchengzi, No.5, Tuanjie Township). In order to strangle the newly born daiguo and fight for the throne of daiguo, Tuoba was surrounded by his uncle Tuoba kudou when he was on a tour to the south, which is known as the "battle of daigu" in history. In this war, Tuoba defeated Tuoba kudou 80000 troops with a small number of 30000 elite troops, creating a classic battle example of ancient times. In the 21th year of the Jin Dynasty (396), Tuoba Li and Murong Bao, the prince of the later Yan Dynasty, took part in the war of Hopei, which was powerful in the north. In the second year of Long'an (398) of Jin Dynasty, Tuoba Li moved his capital to Pingcheng (today's Datong), which was called Emperor Wu.

In history, the forest of Sumu mountain suffered two calamities. Once, when Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty stationed troops in Sumu mountain during the Hongwu Period, he was afraid of hiding enemy troops in the forest, so he ordered a large area of burning mountains to drive out herdsmen, and burned all the trees 150 miles away from the ancient Great Wall, leaving only a few birch trees. Therefore, Sumu mountain was also called Hua mountain; second, the western expedition of the Kangxi army to geldan was blocked, and Sumu mountain was cut down on a large scale.

Sumu mountain is an immortal green monument created by Xinghe people with wisdom, diligence and sweat after the founding of the people's Republic of China. In particular, Dong Hongru, a retired veteran farm chief, pioneered in the forest area. At the age of 18, he worked as a forest ranger in Sumu mountain until he became the director of the forest farm. He took root in the forest region and led the forest workers and local people to work hard in afforestation and forest protection, weaving magnificent green pictures with sweat and hands. The barren mountains of the past have become the fairyland of today. Over the past 40 years, a total of more than 75000 Mu have been newly planted, and the largest plantation in the central and western regions of Inner Mongolia has been built. Dong Hongru won the "May 1st Labor Award" and "national labor model" in 1986 and 1989 respectively. Sumu mountain has also become an advanced forestry unit in China and the whole region. It is a forest park of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and a civilized tourist attraction of Ulanqab city. It is applying for a national forest park.
