Introduction
In 1381 AD, the first pass at the eastern starting point of the Great Wall was built. It was not only an important barrier of Beijing, but also the boundary between inside and outside the pass. The entire defense system consisted of pass cities, weng cities, luo cities, yi cities, lookout cities, and beacon towers, forming a tightly integrated military defense system that was difficult to attack. Because of its unique construction, it stood out among the numerous dangerous passes of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty and was known as "the unparalleled lock and key of the two capitals, the first pass of the Great Wall."
