―Didao Overview

Di Dao is now Lintao County.

During the Warring States period, empress dowager Mi Yue of the Qin state destroyed the State of Yiqu in 272 BC, and placed the three counties of Beidi, Shangjun, and Longxi in its territory, and the seat of longxi county was Di Dao. At this point, a Fang of "Di Dao" appeared in the world and was recorded in history.

Since then, through the Qin and Han Dynasties, Di Dao has been the ruler of Longxi County. During the Three Kingdoms period, the State of Wei moved the seat of rule of Longxi to Xiangwu County (襄武县, southeast of present-day Longxi County), and Di Dao remained under the jurisdiction of Longxi County.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Zheng, the most confused emperor in history who said "why not eat meat porridge", established Didao County during his reign, and from then until the Middle Tang Dynasty, Didao County was the seat of Di Dao County.

In the first year of the Tang Dynasty Zongbaoying, that is, in 762 AD, the "Anshi Rebellion" occurred within the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo, whose national strength was blazing, took the opportunity to invade and occupy a large area of Tang territory such as Helong and The Western Regions, and Di Dao fell into the hands of Tubo.

Three hundred years later, Di Daofang came under the rule of the Han Chinese. The Northern Song Dynasty was slightly more powerful under the "Wang Anshi Transformation Law", and Emperor Shenzong sent the Confucian general Wang Shaorong to expand the frontier, and recaptured Didao and other places around 1071. At that time, Di Dao was called Xi Prefecture, and the history was called "XiHe Kaibian", and this battle was the most important stroke of the weak Song Dynasty.

However, after the "Jingkang Disaster" in 1127, Di Dao fell into the hands of the Jin State with the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, and was later included in the Mongol State in 1234. Both dynasties set up Lintao Province, which ruled Di Dao, and was under the jurisdiction of gongchang commander-in-chief.

Since then, successive dynasties have set up Lintao Province. Qianlong moved the government to Lanzhou in the fifth year, and Promoted Di Dao to a prefecture. In the second year of the Republic of China, the prefecture was demoted to a county, and in the 18th year of the Republic of China (1929), it was renamed Lintao County.

After this, the name of Di Dao sank into the bloody history books and gradually became unknown.

Since its completion, the city of Didao has been a border area. Qin and Qianglin, Han Linxiong, Tang Lin turks, Tubo. During the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a hunting ground in the three kingdoms of Tubo, Western Xia and Song Dynasty. In the early period of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was in the corner area of the four kingdoms of Jin, Western Xia, Tubo and Southern Song, and in the later period, it was the forefront of the Mongol conquest of the Song Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty bordered Tatars and became an inland region by the Qing Dynasty.

Li Baishi said: "Since I conquered the battlefield, I have not seen anyone returning." When I was a teenager reading, I was always surprised at how there was no famous literati in Gansu, and then I read a little history to understand! Imagine who has the leisure and elegance to indulge in the sea of love letters and indulge in canvases in a place where there is constant war and white bones? That's something that only inland people who have no worries about life and food and clothing can enjoy! However, it is undeniable that without the flesh-and-blood barrier of the border people, it is impossible to have the brilliant civilization of the Chinese nation.

"Why should Qiang Di complain about Yang Liu, the spring wind does not close the jade door." The spring breeze is indeed not something that the Di Dao people can enjoy! Thousands of years of coagulated blood stains have also made the Dido people lose their elegance. The Dido people will only be as bold and rough as the unobstructed loess mountain, only as tough and upright as the poplar trees with protruding branches, and will only rush forward like the rushing water of the Tao River. Even if he is despised as vulgar and scorned as a wild man, he has a poignant atmosphere, pride and pride.
