Shanhaiguan was called Yuguan in ancient times, also made Yuguan, also known as Linlu Pass, Hongwu 14 years in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was ordered to repair Yongping, Jieling and other passes, and created Shanhaiguan in this place, because it leans on Yanshan in the north, connects the Bohai Sea in the south, so it is named Shanhaiguan.

During the Qing Dynasty, in the second year of Qianlong, this time it was renamed Linyu County.

Linyu County belonged to Yongping Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, and the territory was established in Lulong County, Funing County, Changli County, Yongpingwei and Shanhaiwei. The county implements the Lijia system, which is also known as the society and the tun, and the local people are compiled as the society, and the people who move here are compiled as the tun. In the Qing Dynasty, the Ming system was followed, and it belonged to Yongping Mansion of Zhili Province, and governed Lulong, Funing and Changli counties. In the second year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Linyu County was added in Shanhaiguan.

It was recorded in the "Great Qing Dynasty Unification Chronicles 61 Yongping Mansion 61 Linyu County": "Qinhuangdao, twenty-five miles southwest of Linyu County, enters the sea for one mile, and is surrounded by water on all sides. Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang tried to stay here. ”

In the 21st year of Qianlong, it is recorded in the "61 Historic Sites of Linyu County Chronicles": "Qinwang Island, twenty-five miles southwest of the city, surrounded by seawater. Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang sought immortals and stayed here. ”

And Guangxu four years "Linyu County Chronicles" to Qinhuangdao description of many and detailed: "Qinwang Island, twenty-five miles away from the southwest of the city, the mountain range from east to west, inserted into the sea, horizontal pressure on the water surface, look at the shape of the silkworm in the distance, the Shuikou Mountain of Haiyang Town, there is Guanyin Temple. ”

Shanhaiguan is the northeast starting point of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, with 26 kilometers of the Great Wall and more than 10 kilometers east of Qinhuangdao City. According to historical records, Shanhaiguan has a history of more than 600 years since it was built in 1381 A.D., and has been an important military town in China since ancient times.

The city of Shanhaiguan, with a circumference of about 4 kilometers, is a small city, and the whole city is connected to the Great Wall, with the city as the pass. The castle is 14 meters high and 7 meters thick. There are four main gates in the whole city, and there are a variety of ancient defense buildings, it is a city pass with a relatively complete defense system, and it is called "the first pass in the world". With the majestic "the first pass in the world" arrow tower as the main body, supplemented by Jingbian Tower. Linlu Building. The Great Wall buildings such as the Pastoral Barracks, Weiyuan Hall, Wengcheng, Dongluo City, and the Great Wall Museum are the most famous is the huge plaque with the first golden characters in the world.

There is also an allusion to this plaque.

According to legend, more than 500 years ago, Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty personally decreed that he would hang a large plaque entitled "The First Pass in the World" on the tower of Shanhaiguan City.

At that time, it was a military director who guarded Shanhaiguan, and after receiving the holy decree, he immediately sent people to climb the arrow tower, measured the size, and asked the carpenter to make a huge plaque with a length of eight feet and a width of five feet.

Now that the plaque is ready, who will write it?

The head of the military department discussed with his subordinates for a day and a night, and finally remembered someone. This person's surname is Xiao Mingxian, born in two lists of Jinshi, he has served as a judge in Fujian, and his calligraphy is good.

The next morning, the head of the military department personally visited Xiao's house and explained his intentions. Xiao Xian pondered for a long time before nodding in agreement. However, he proposed that he should not be in a hurry or rush to write this kind of writing, and the head of the military department had no choice but to agree.

More than 20 days have passed in the blink of an eye, and there is no news. The head of the military department asked his subordinates to prepare a few things: a few silk satin horses, a few large lake pens, and sent a cronie to send them to Xiao Xian. After a short time, the giver came back and reported: "Mr. Xiao is practicing in the side courtyard, and he gets up early every day and plays a long flat shoulder in the courtyard. ”

The head of the military department is puzzled, what does this play have to do with writing, no matter what he has, he has been waiting for so many days, so let's wait.

More than 20 days passed, and there was still no movement. The head of the military department asked his subordinates to prepare some fine ink and rice paper, and sent his cronies to Xiao's house with things again, and the gift giver came back to report and said: "Mr. Xiao is reciting poems in the house, reciting what is flying down three thousand feet, what is suspected to be the Milky Way falling for nine days, what is like thunder to collect anger, and it is like the blue light of the river and the sea......"

The head of the military department was very surprised when he heard this, so he asked, "What did he say when he saw the gift?"

"He said he would be able to write it in another month." The servant replied hurriedly.

The head of the military department didn't understand this very well, but there was finally a deadline, so let's wait, but he never expected that the next day he received an urgent letter from the military department, saying that the new governor of Jiliao was coming to Shanhaiguan to inspect the plaque on behalf of the emperor, and it was expected to arrive within three days. This made the head of the military department anxious, and immediately asked people to carry the wooden plaque and a jar of ink to Xiao's house.

When he arrived at Xiao's house, after greeting him, he told Xiao Xian about the urgent letter from the military department, and Xiao Xian was also a person who came down from the officialdom, so he did not slack off and acted immediately. I saw him, walking back and forth in front of the plaque with a pen, looking at it as he walked, nodding his head for a while, and laughing for a while; Suddenly, he stopped, held his breath, and began to write.

I saw him, the pen is like a mountain falling stone, the pen is like a swallow predator, fast, slow, steady, accurate, the pen goes with him, and after a while, the five big characters of "the first pass in the world" are written.

The head of the military department hurriedly thanked him.

Xiao Xiandao: "I originally wanted to spend a month reading ancient poems and cultivating my temperament, but unfortunately, the time was too urgent." ”

The head of the military department hurriedly said: "This is already very good, it is already very good." ”

On the morning of the next day, the director of the military department ordered someone to hang a large plaque on the arrow tower, and on the other hand, he feasted Xiao Xian in the "Yuexinzhai" restaurant under the arrow tower. After three rounds of drinking, the guest and host looked up by the railing, and Xiao Xian found that the word "down" was a little less.

At this time, it is too late to report to the governor of Jiliao that he has crossed the Shihe River, and it is too late to go back to the house to pick up the pen and go upstairs to make up for it, what should I do?

Xiao Xian was in a hurry, and ordered the scholar to study the ink immediately, grabbed a tablecloth in the hand of the cousin, dipped it in ink, and threw it towards the plaque on the arrow tower with all the strength of his life. I only listened to the sound of the "horn", and the ink cloth fell on the lower right corner of the word "down", making up the "point". Everyone congratulated in unison and praised in unison: "Xiao Gong's pen of God, the pen of God!"

Since then, the huge plaque of the first level in the world has been famous all over the world.

And there is also a huge plaque with the same title of the first pass in the world, which is said to be the title of Yan Song, the traitor of the Ming Dynasty, but perhaps because Yan Song is notorious, it is rarely mentioned in history, and now this plaque is looted by Japan to Tokyo, and publicly displayed.

Since ancient times, Shanhaiguan has been a battleground for soldiers, and wars are frequent, and the smoke is continuous.

Shanhaiguan in 1932 was not destined to be peaceful.

…………

This battle is an introduction to Shanhaiguan, I quite like the legend in the article, so borrow it, I hope friends will take care of it, don't mind.
