Introduction

Hangu Pass is one of the earliest fortified passes in Chinese history. It is named Hangu Pass because it is located in a valley and is as treacherous as a box. It used to be a ancient battlefield where warhorses neighed, and it is known for the saying "One man can hold the pass against ten thousand." Famous battles such as the "Meeting in Hangu Pass," the "Six Kingdoms' Attack on Qin," the "Duke of Guo's Victory over the Rong Tribe," and the "Battle of Xiyuan" were fought here. It is also known for its historical allusions, such as "the Purple Air Comes from the East," "the Rooster Crows and the Dogs Steal," and "Gongsun's White Horse," which give it a magical charm. It is also the place where the ancient Chinese philosopher Laozi wrote the book Tao Te Ching, which contains five thousand words.
