Historical records

Jinmiaopu Town, known as kedoudian in ancient times, is located at the edge of the Southern peak of Taihang Mountain. It has been the gateway and transportation hub between Jincheng city and Zhongzhou in Northern Henan since ancient times. in the past dynasties, there were constant disputes, wars and hundreds of wars, which left a rich cultural heritage here. The pass includes yangchangban, Panshi Great Wall, wanzicheng, ancient Great Wall, mengliangzhai, jiaozanying, Dakou, Xiaokou, guanyeling, banjiuling, xingyaoyi, tianjingguan and other fortresses. According to the historical atlas, jinmiaopu was called kedoudian in the Tang Dynasty. It was a post shop in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which had nothing to do with the name of the village. The interpretation of jinmiaopu in the annals of Jincheng city is: the village was originally named Pushang, and the village was in gouzili. Because the place belonged to the state of Jin in ancient times and there was a Confucian temple nearby, it was changed to jinmiaopu. But in the middle of the 20th century, Pushang village moved from the ditch to the roadside, which people used to take for granted.

Military architecture

Because of the need of war, many ancient villages and piers were built along Taihang Road. As far as we know, the ancient villages include wanzicheng, Mopan, jiaozancheng, Mengliang, Weiquan, Zhaihe, Qingfeng, Dazhai, Xiaozhai, etc. Besides the stockade, there are still more than ten piers and abutments for the purpose of transmitting messages, including wanshandun, wanzicheng left and right double piers, Dakou pier, Youfang pier, Xiaokou pier, Heishiling pier, shuikui pier, tianjingguan pier and Daokou pier. According to the records of Zezhou Prefecture and Fengtai County, wanzicheng said: "wanzicheng is 45 Li south of the county. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was set up to control the impact of huaize. The city is very small, so it's named In 1861, in order to prevent Li zhanbiao's uprising soldiers from going north to Taihang, the magistrate of Zezhou Prefecture sent troops to prevent Taihang. Ruan Fen, the magistrate of Fengtai County, trained ten thousand people to defend the four townships, and "set up a pier to block the road outside the city, which was as high as the city, and built a wall of cattle and horses to protect the city." He also built six military rooms in Wanzi City, so that the officials and soldiers could stay away from the wind, rain and snow. At the same time, the Xiaokou city wall was rebuilt, and several beacon towers were built with earth outside the city. In addition, several houses were built inside the gate, and "regulations were just like bowls, but they were killed", so "the garrison was strong, and the people were determined.". The beacon fire at the foot of the mountain closed the door, and no one was near the site by riding on the grass mountain. " It took two months to build and spent more than 2000 yuan to raise funds for the people. Because of the development and evolution of the war, these buildings have lost their use more and more recently. So far, there are remains of wanzicheng, mengliangzhai, Mopan Zhai, Weiquan Zhai and Qingfeng Zhai in the ancient village, and the rest of them may have ruins or have been razed to the ground. The piers and abutments have been destroyed. Only Heishiling pier has relics. Shuikui pier and tianjingguan pier have steamed bread shaped earth bags. Among them, tianjingguandun has been forgotten by the villagers and named as Yancun gedui. When planning tourism in 2003, Guo Xuebao named it qingguanding.

Zhang Ruixiang, a native of Xingyao (today's zhacha Village) in the Qing Dynasty, wrote about the quiet environment of Xiaoyue temple in his "Jisheng stele of Puzhao temple in Yueyuan mountain": "the stone walls are rugged, the flying streams are thin, the Jordan Valley is full of monsters and birds." After that, Chen tingjingyou, the great scholar of wenyuange in Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, wrote: "the trees are splashing with water, and the peaks are towering in the blue sky. Loose door leaves Xiaoyue, plank House passes Liuquan. The valley is far away, and the bird path hangs in the window. There are few people in front of the forest, and the cold chime blows down the stream. " The original temple has been destroyed, and the existing one is a contemporary reconstruction.

Ancient allusions

Confucius' carriage return, one of the eight landscapes of Guze prefecture (today's Jincheng), is located in jinmiaopu Town, a suburb of Jincheng City, Shanxi Province. It is said that Confucius traveled all over the world, preached and lectured. After Zheng's lobbying, he drove straight to Jin. When he and his disciples came to the kedou shop at tianjingguan on the border of the state of Jin, he saw a child playing with the stone city and refused to give way. One of them, Xiang Juan, challenged Confucius with the saying that "only cars around the city, but no city to let cars.". Confucius saw that although Xiang Ligularia was small, he had something outstanding, so he bowed to be his teacher and ordered his disciples to pass around the city. When we arrived at tianjingguan, we met a squirrel with a walnut in his mouth and ran to the front of the road to salute. When Confucius saw that the children in Jin were so clever that even animals knew the etiquette, he was very moved and went back to the south. Now tianjingguan still has the same ruts as before. In order to offer sacrifices to Confucius, later generations built a Confucian temple in the southeast of xingyaoyi (according to historical records, the temple was built by Confucius' 19th generation sun Kongyu when he was an official in Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty). There were also steles and pavilions of "Confucius' return track", and the xingyaoyi was changed into a car blocking village. Since then, Confucius' return has become one of the four famous landscapes in Jincheng.
