In the first year of Shunzhi (1644), just after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, two major things were done in Zhangjiakou, one was to open the Great Realm Gate on the Great Wall in the north of Zhangjiakou, and the other was to seal 8 imperial merchants in Zhangjiakou.
Dajingmen has brought a big business road to Zhangjiakou, and also brought great opportunities for development. Opening the door to cultivate the world is the eternal pursuit of Zhangjiakou people. The character of the Zhangjiakou people is revealed in front of the Dajing Gate, what are the interesting stories in this?
In the thirty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1697), the Kangxi Emperor marched north to Gardan, and this trip was a great victory. On the way back, Kangxi was worried about the important affairs of the imperial court, and he always suspected that the brigade's carriages and horses were walking slowly, so he simply led a group of pro-soldiers to rush to Zhangjiakou. Who knows, the snow in the area around the dam is very deep, that section of the road is really not easy to walk, and when you reach the gate of the Great Realm, it is already midnight.
The generals accompanying Kangxi dismounted and called for the door, but the guards inside the door did not open. Why? Originally, at that time, the imperial court had a rule - open the door at sunrise, close the door at sunset, and not open the city gate at night. The sentry chief on duty at the Dajing Gate City Tower that day was named Zhang Yuan, a particularly serious young man, and since there were rules that could not open the door, then no one would open it when he came.
After a few words inside and outside the door, the general outside was anxious, and he shouted loudly: "Bold slave!" Today you will not open the city gates, tomorrow you will cut off your head! Zhang Yuan was also angry when he heard it, and replied: "Today the emperor is coming, and the grandfather will not open the door!" The general was still arguing, but was stopped by Kangxi.
Just like that, Kangxi Grandpa and his old man were wronged for half a night on the edge of a mountain stone outside the city.

The next morning, the governor of the Great Realm Gate heard that the emperor had frozen outside the city in the middle of the night, and his soul was frightened and scattered, so he quickly welcomed Kangxi in. After Kangxi entered the city, he summoned the officials guarding the Dajing Gate in the lobby of the General Administration Office, and also asked to see the soldiers on duty last night.
That Zhang Yuan heard the letter, thinking that the catastrophe had broken down, the horizontal vertical was just a death, he thought of this, but he was not afraid, the young man walked up to the lobby in three steps and two steps, standing straight in front of the emperor. Two people one up and one hall, you look at me, I look at you, just look at it.
The Kangxi Emperor originally thought that as soon as the little sentry commander came up, he would have to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, so that he could push the boat along the water and avoid his death. He never imagined that this small military soil would be so faceless. However, Zhang Yuan's iron skeleton Attracted Kangxi's blue eyes.

The likes in my heart belong to likes, and the face of the emperor must also be taken care of. Kangxi thought of a move, and he gave an order to Zhang Yuan to go outside and hold a stone for him to come back.
Zhang Yuanman didn't care to turn around and go down to the hall, found a large stone of one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, picked it up and went inside the lobby, muttering as he walked: "The emperor asked me to move the stone, don't want to use the stone to kill me, right?" Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan's heart was excited, and he hurriedly threw the large stone in his hand to the ground. However, the emperor said that he wanted a stone, and he had to pick up a stone to make a difference. Zhang Yuan pondered for half a day, picked a small stone and returned to the lobby.
The emperor looked at the small stone in Zhang Yuan's hand, smiled mysteriously, and ordered someone to weigh the weight of the stone. The stone is weighed on one, weighing three two two money three. Kangxi finally stopped selling Guanzi, and he said, "Well, last night all the soldiers who were worth more were rewarded with silver and silver according to the weight of this stone." ”
There were dozens of people in the hall, and at this time, they finally realized that Zhang Yuan and the others had returned to the taste, hurriedly knelt down and prostrated their heads, and the mountain shouted long live.
In the second year of Yongzheng (1724), Zhou Yuanli, the governor of Yongzheng, also built a Wolong Pavilion in the place where the Kangxi Emperor rested. Although the story that has been handed down to this day has a certain deductive component, it truly shows the stubborn character and loyal character of Zhangjiakou people. Up to now, Wolong Pavilion is still greeting visitors from all over the world, and the story of Zhangjiakou is still circulating in Yanzhao's homeland.
