Discover the Shu body poison road (6) | the ancient city of Yan Dao: the southernmost boundary of Qin and Chu immigrants

The ruins of Yandao Ancient City are the ruins of the ancient city of the Han Dynasty, which are well preserved in cash, and the ruins are located in the ancient city village (guchengping) of Liuhe Township, Xingjing County, Sichuan, which is the southernmost boundary of the Qin and Chu immigrants found so far.

It is located on the third step of the south bank of the Xinghe River under the Zhongjun Mountain, and is on the verge of the steep ridge of the Xinghe River. The narrow pass between the mountains and the river in the southwest of the city was the only way for the Yandao to connect with the outside world (the present-day Sichuan-Dian Highway still passes through it), and the geographical situation was very dangerous.

Yandao Ancient City

Zhou Lu, the relevant person in charge of the Xingjing County Museum, told the cover news reporter that the ancient city of Yandao was the boundary between the Han culture and the southwest Yi region from the late Warring States period to the Western Han Dynasty, and was at the forefront of the expansion of Han culture to the southwest region, and was the dividing ridge between ancient Han people and ethnic minorities.

At the same time, the ancient city of Yandao is a border town and trade distribution center on the "Southern Silk Road", and it is also a military fortress to resist the "Southwest Yi", and its geographical location is very special, so the "He Junzun Pavilion Trail" built has the political significance of "opening the road, governing the border, and skimming the border".

According to Zhou Lu, the ruins of Yandao Ancient City and the carved stones of He Junzun Pavilion were included in the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units in 2006.
