Cliffs stand on the east and west sides, and Cangtou River runs through them from south to north, forming a natural pass with a width of more than 200 meters and a length of more than 3000 meters.

All previous dynasties have stationed troops here to protect them. In the twenty-third year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, he built an earthen fort, and in the second year of Wanli, he built a brick wall. Fiona Fang Earley is three feet tall and has a south gate. In the forty-third year of Wanli, another new castle was built, and the East and West Gates were built between the two castles, so that the old and new castles were combined into one, and four doors were opened, with a circumference of 540 feet, which was three miles.

Kill the tiger's mouth in the famous scenic spot and enjoy Xikou culture.

Shahukou is located at the junction of Shanxi and Mongolia provinces (regions) in Youyu County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province, with the ancient Great Wall in the north and Cangtou River in the west. As a generation of Xiongguan, it is well-known and has a history of more than 2,000 years. Shahukou is a natural gateway, with a narrow corridor 3300 meters long between the east and west mountains. The Qing Dynasty's Fu Zhi of Shuoping said: "Killing the tiger's mouth is the most important thing to go straight to the north, and the three customs control the five plains, which has been called dangerous since ancient times." It has always been a battleground for military strategists. Killing tiger's mouth is also an important tax card in history. As the only way for the Central Plains to trade with Mongolia, Xinjiang and Russia, during the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, tariffs were increasingly "competing for money". At the end of Qing Dynasty, there were still 6.5438+0.32 million tariffs. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Killing Tiger Mouth also became the birthplace and main channel of Shanxi merchants. This is the birthplace of the once-popular "Dashengkui" office. In addition, the west exit in Westbound is to kill the tiger. The so-called "Zhangjiakou in the east and killing the tiger's mouth in the west". Shahukou, as an ancient military fortress and an important border trade town, enjoys a high reputation and is rich in historical and cultural relics. There are magnificent ancient Great Wall, well-preserved Tiger-killing Fort, numerous beacon towers, desolate and quaint ancient battlefields, rare ancient slopes in the province, and exquisite ancient music buildings. , like a bright pearl inlaid in the tiger's mouth. This is a veritable "West Exit". "Walking to the West" not only bears the glory and dreams, growth and hardships of Shanxi merchants, but also writes the blood and tears of Shanxi Xikou immigrants to make a living. Killing Tiger Mouth is the epitome of Shanxi's history in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is an empirical study of the rise and fall of China's modern financial trade.

Killing Tiger Pass was called Shenhekou in ancient times, White Wolf Pass in Tang Dynasty and Tooth Wolf Pass in Song Dynasty. In order to resist Mongwa's invasion to the south, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to fight from this port many times, hence the name "Killing Hukou". Since the "mutual market" between Qin Long and Mongolia in the five years of Ming Dynasty, horse markets in Hu Bao, Shengshengbao and Xinpingbao (Tianzhen) have been reopened. 1925, the national army led by Feng Yuxiang entered the "killing hukou". That year, Feng Yuxiang appointed Han Duofeng, one of the thirteen Taibao, as commander-in-chief to kill Hu Guan. In order to ease ethnic conflicts and promote the trade between the Central Plains and the Great Wall, North Korea followed the common name since the Qing Dynasty and officially changed its name to "Killing Tiger Pass".

The mountains on both sides of Shahukou are opposite, and the terrain is very steep. Tangzishan in the east, Dabaoshan in the west, and Cangtou Valley between the two mountains have been important passages in the north-south direction since ancient times, and the highway from Datong to Hohhot still passes through here.

Shankouguan City was built in the 23rd year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1544), and it was built of earth in the 2nd year of Wanli (A.D. 1574), with a circumference of 1 km and a height of 1 .7 m ... Its length, width, height and thickness are the same as those of the old castle. The two castles are connected from east to west by walls, so that they depend on each other and help each other.

The importance of killing the tiger's mouth and Youyu City in the Ming Dynasty can be seen from the water god who sealed the land for generations. Dai Zong Zhu Qiyu succeeded to the throne after being captured by Mongolian Wala. In order to pray for the safe return of Yingzong, he made a wish that Yingzong would come back if he defeated Vala, and he was willing to give the "amphibious gun" to Youyu County, Shuoping Prefecture. Later, Yu Qian organized the victory of defending Kyoto, and Yingzong was released. Dai Zong sent ministers to award Yu Yu the title of "Goddess of Water and Land" to thank the gods. "Water God" is 120 rare treasures and precious paintings stored in the palace. It is said that most of these paintings were made by Wu Daozi and Yan during the Zhenguan period in the Tang Dynasty. Now, the Shanxi Provincial Museum has collected some remaining treasures.

As military fortresses, Shahukou and Youyu City have been in constant wars since ancient times, especially during the Ming Dynasty and Jiajing period, which were captured by Mongolian troops many times. However, in a war in the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing (AD 1557), the defenders fought alone and held on to Youyu City for eight months, which is also rare in the history of China War.

This war was caused by the "Fortune Plumyew Village Incident". Fortune Plumyew Village is the concubine of Ai Xin and the son of An Shan Khan. She's fooling around with a leader in Essien's department. After being discovered, she hurried to the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Yang Shun, the governor of Datong, sent her to Beijing to reward and punish. Ai Xin came to attack the tiger's mouth, and then surrounded Youyu City. When Yang Shun saw that the situation was not good, he regretted taking in Fortune Plumyew Village. He lied to the court, and the Mongolian Aisin Department was willing to exchange Fortune Plumyew Village with the Han people who came after the failure of Anbaili Uprising. The emperor agreed to give up Fortune Plumyew village, but Ai Xin not only did not withdraw, but also strengthened his troops. While attacking Youyu City, he also launched an attack on Datong and the Great Wall of Fu Xuan.

Under the repeated onslaught of Mongolian soldiers, the soldiers and civilians of Youyucheng fought bloody battles. After Commander Youyu was killed in the battle, a military commander named Shang Mingbiao rested at home and volunteered to be the commander of Youyu's defense war. In this extremely difficult situation, he not only beat back the enemy's attack, but also seized favorable fighters and sneaked into the enemy camp many times. From September to April of the following year, Youyu City was not conquered, but the soldiers and civilians in the city almost ran out of food, and the cattle and horses that could satisfy their hunger were also eaten up.

When the situation was very critical, the Ming court sent Bai Yang, the minister of the Ministry of War, to lead the army to solve the siege of Youyu. Seeing that Youyu City was really difficult to capture, Mongolian soldiers automatically lifted the siege of Youyu City and withdrew to the Great Wall from the mouth of the tiger.

After this war, the Great Wall around Shahukou and Youyucheng was strengthened and repaired. And increased the number of troops, greatly improving the defensive ability to kill tigers.

The story of "going to the Western Ocean" in history happened in the tiger's mouth.

In the early Qing dynasty, the long-term suppression of peasant uprising and the anti-Qing war caused great damage to production within the Great Wall in the north, with barren fields, dilapidated houses and people in exile. A large number of bankrupt peasants and defeated peasant insurgents in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and some provinces of Hebei, either "men and women" or alone, left their homes in groups of one thousand, ventured over the Great Wall and "walked west" without permission. Later, Pan pointed out that the western port of the Great Wall was naturalized and "foraged for survival". At that time, refugees went west from Tumote, or rented land from Mongols to cultivate seeds, or entered the desert for private cultivation, forming a "westward crossing" migration group. In addition, the Qing dynasty adopted a policy of appeasement to Mongolia. Promote Lamaism and develop temples to attract a large number of craftsmen and bankrupt farmers from Shanxi, Shaanxi and Hebei; At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the leader of Tumote, Xiao Shunyi Wang, suffered from the military disaster of Lidan Khan, and made an exception by adding a patch and Sumu (assistant) to make up for the vacancy of 30 Sumu (Dingkou is 1 Sumu's 150 households), and refugees from mountainous areas and Shaanxi came to join the Mongolian people one after another; With the relaxation of the Qing dynasty's closed policy to Mongolia and the continuous inflow of farmers who suffered from serious natural disasters for many years, people who "walked west" gradually cultivated and grazed from Tumote to Alashan and Ejina until liberation. After liberation, the painful history of "westward advancement" ended.

In 2009, CCTV launched the drama "Walking to the West" and the TV series "Killing Tiger Mouth", both of which were based on the true historical facts of killing tiger mouth.
