The land of Xinyuan is vast and long, and the car speeds northwest, and when it reaches the Yangwu Valley, it suddenly becomes narrow. On the left and right sides are towering peaks, the mountains are stacked, steep and strange, soaring into the sky, towering into the clouds, stretching for miles. The hills are all brown, desolate and vibrant, shining in the morning light.
The sky was as clear as a blue cloth, without a trace of clouds. Yangwuzhai is dressed in bronze, and shengsheng poses a mighty and fierce, iron-walled copper pass, just like a historical picture that condenses the vicissitudes of border plugs. Yuanping is located in the northern Jin Dynasty Fortress, above the main artery of the three Jin Dynasties, is the combination of ancient nomadic peoples and agricultural civilization, and has always been a place where soldiers and families must fight. Yangwuyu was once known as Yangwu Valley and Yangwukou. The Northern Song Dynasty was located thirty-five miles northwest of present-day Yuanping City, Shanxi. There is a Yangwu Village built on the mountain, condescending, guarding the key, there is a big husband and wife, the trend of ten thousand people can not be opened, the gate of the village is closed, even the birds are difficult to overcome.
Yangwuzhai was an ancient strategic location, and is said to be a cottage camp for soldiers stationed during the Song Dynasty. On November 13, the fourth year of the Song Dynasty (1979 AD), Yang Ye was appointed as the Commander of zhidai Prefecture and the deployment of soldiers and horses stationed in Sanjiao, and "sealed the bag, and gave it very heavily." This was an important position equivalent to the deputy commander of the defense of Hedong Road, and Yang Ye lived up to the high expectations of Emperor Taizong of Song, and in a short period of time, he built many camps in The territory of Dai Prefecture and blocked the main road for the Liao army to enter and exit. Among them, 5 camps were built in Chengxian County (present-day Yuanping City) alone. And Yangwuzhai is one of them. The "Song Hui Zhi Manuscript" contains: "Yangwu Zhai, in Dai Prefecture, was built in four years of Taiping Xingguo" The "General Outline of the Wujing" has: "YangwuZhai, there is a well spring river and mountain, the west is thirty miles from the floor slab village, the north is to the border of Khitan Shuozhou, there is a valley road, and the people are passing."

The Chronicle of Kunxian county says: "The Song capital patrol made Yang Yanzhao guard Yang Wuyu, Xiao Yong was good at war, the Liao people were afraid of death, and the shibu generals Meng Liang and Jiao Zan were guarded." "The Qing people have poems to praise;" Yanmen heavy town Xiong Northwest, Brother Yang Bian Xunle; the iron horse does not hiss and the fire is quiet, and so far only Sai Yun heng." ”
There was a beautiful legend about Yangwu, a long time ago, a southern warlock saw that the Yangwu River was full of water and moistened the countryside, so he had evil intentions, and used the god pot to take away the Yangwu River water and move it elsewhere. Just happened to be seen by a shepherd named Li Yang, so he chased after it and broke the god jar in a panic, so that the river flowed back to the east. In order to commemorate the sheep herding, people renamed the river Yangwu (Yangwa Yangwa) River, the villagers changed it to Yangwu Village, and the pass to the west of the village was called Yangwukou. Yangwu Gorge has been an important strategic place for thousands of years, with military villages, beacons, and earthen forts spreading on both sides of the Yangwu River. In the "Chronicle of Chengxian County", it is recorded: "Feilai Stone, in Shayu Village, Yangwukou, is about two zhang long, has a circumference of six or seven feet, and has several pieces of fist stones under it. There are six characters on it, 'Flying Stone General Seal', divine luck is natural, not fake manpower. Daoguang Nianzhi County Wang Peiyu has a flying stone poem. ”

Yangwu Liujin is one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Chengxian County", and Jia Keming, a person in Chengxian County, has "Yangwu Liujin": "The water of Yangwu comes to the east, and the two mountains are relatively open." Yangwuzhai is in the same vein as the Great Wall of Northern Jin. In the arid north of Jin, under the majestic Guanzhai, there is such a river, not Jiangnan, better than Jiangnan, majestic and magnificent and splendid magnificent together, elegant and simple and atmospheric majestic gathered here, the mountain is mighty and strong, the mountain is tender like water, such a combination, such an encounter, such a lingering, will definitely make you linger. The wind blows Yang Wuzhai, the hunting battle flag flutters, the wind blows Yang Wuyu, and the blue waves under the ancient village are indulgent, which seems to tell the historical past of Yangwu Village.
The dangerous pass is to pass the Yang Wuzhai, you have faced the world. Looking at the majestic Guanzhai, the heat of ancient civilization emerged in front of his eyes. Dangerous passes must be fought over from the ancient soldiers' homes, and heroes come in and out of the tragic and exciting. The ancient and dangerous Yangwuyu, Meng Tian walked by, the Yang family general guarded, and the Eight-Way Jian Er fought. Drunkenly lying on the battlefield Jun Mo smiled, and Gu Lai conquered several people. Here is the battlefield where the brave warriors fight, here is the barrier of the sons and daughters' homeland, here was the iron horse of the golden ge, the war horse roared; here was the trade and trade, the camel bell was leisurely, here is the trade avenue, from here, to the border pass to carry out the tea and horse mutual market, mutual communication, the realization of a beautiful dream. Here is the road to escape from the wilderness at the west mouth, the homeland is difficult to leave, the hometown is unforgettable, the home is uprooted, from here to the remote foreign land outside the Cyprus, creating a performance.
For thousands of years, inside and outside the border plugs, there have been wars and wars, such as Han, Jin, Tang, Song, and Ming, and the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Turks, Khitans, and Mongols on the other side. Farming and nomadism in this fierce collision, Yangwuzhai is seen in the world, it came in smoke, it sang pastoral songs far away, now there is no sword and light sword shadow, far away from the drum horns to argue, and finally the wind stopped, the Go stopped, han and Hu people lived together in this land. Peace and killing, conquest and subjugation, migration and settlement, prosperity and decay, are repeated again and again. After thousands of years of smelting, their descendants have been inseparable from each other; after several great national integrations, they have finally condensed into the community of the Chinese nation.
A good Yangwu Village, a good Yangwuyu, Xiongguan is still the same, the ancient road is still the same. You have witnessed the vicissitudes of history, rough and majestic and full of strength. You are a poem, but also a painting, every poem is vivid and lively, every painting is fresh and moving. Completed again and again, harvested stubble after stubble, the poetry line is sparse and shallow, and the painting is vast and magnificent. The mottled beacons tell the vicissitudes of history, the long ancient road tells the past of history, the Great Wall leaves the deep footprints of the ancients, and the tragic battle songs still echo in the valley.
