The four counties of Hexi link the Loop area
It is the strategic thrust of my Great Han Northwest
Today, I will take you to see the four counties of Hexi established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
At that time, Huo Huo went ill and took down the two kings of the Xiongnu
Hun Evil King, Hun Tu King
Hun language: Lose me rouge mountain, make my women colorless
This piece of land is really too important,
It's long and narrow like a corridor
Counties must be garrisoned to resist the nomadic peoples of the north and northwest
The first stop out of Lanzhou, Wuwei!
Highlight the great Han martial arts
The second stop in Hexi, Zhangye!
Emperor Wu of han: "Broken arm of the Xiongnu, Zhang China's Tuo"
Zhangye is the top priority of the four counties in Hexi
East-west connects Guanzhong to the Western Regions
North and south connect the Mongolian Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Hexi Third County, Jiuquan County
Emperor Wu of Han gave Huo huo the wedding wine, but Huo went to the disease, but said, "The Xiongnu have not perished, why should the family be!"
After defeating the Xiongnu, the wine was poured into the river and drunk with the soldiers, so it was named "Jiuquan"
The Ming Dynasty built the Great Wall arm the Han Dynasty was relatively short
At the western end is Jiayu Pass, which is equivalent to Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County
In addition, Jiuquan has a mystery
There is an imperial city and ruins that have also been found
But it is not known when it was built, and there is no record of ancient books so far
The last stop in the Hexi Corridor, Dunhuang
Most modern scholars believe that the etymology of "Dunhuang" is not Chinese
It is generally believed that the "Dun Xue" recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is the earliest name of Dunhuang
Out of the four counties of Hexi, it is a vast desert
Western region, no more reasons!
