From the construction of the Great Wall to the arch bridge design of the ancient Zhaozhou Bridge, the wisdom of the ancients is always amazing and admired. These vast projects in ancient times are the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people and are also China's precious wealth. The wisdom of the working people in ancient China not only goes down in history, but also sets an important example for my country's military defense.
Among them, the Great Wall is a famous military project in ancient my country, and now it is also a world-famous attraction and one of the symbols of China. In fact, in addition to the famous Great Wall, there is also the little-known military route "Qin Zhidao". Qin Zhidao and the Great Wall were like Chinese shields and swords in ancient times.
Qin Zhidao was built by Qin Dynasty General Mengtian when he was alive. Not long after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he stepped up military defenses. While stationing troops to garrison the border fortresses, he also ordered General Meng Tian to do the construction of the main roads, in order to better prevent the intrusion of the frontier fortress Huns and consolidate the border defenses of the north. .
Qin Zhidao is very long, running through the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Inner Mongolia, nearly 7,000 kilometers in length. Now in these three provinces, traces of Qin Zhidao can be found. If you want to walk the Qin straight road from beginning to end, you must start from Shaanxi. Because the ancient text says that Qin Zhidao starts from Ganquan in the south and leads to Jiuyuan County in the north. Ganquan is today’s Liangwudi Village, Chunhua County, Xianyang, Shaanxi. Xianyang Xunyi also built a magnificent scenic gate on Qinzhi Road, turning the Qinzhi Road in the area into a historical and cultural scenic spot; while Jiuyuan County is today The ancient city of Machi in the southern suburbs of Baotou, Inner Mongolia, but I didn’t have the opportunity to follow the Qin Straight Road to the end this time, so I don’t know what is going on there.
such a huge project, for the social conditions at that time, the challenge was still very big. But our ancients had a way. In order to keep the pavement of Qinzhidao clean, they fried the loess and spread it on the pavement, so that weeds could not grow on the cooked soil. This road was also time-consuming. Ten years, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians completed together. Such road-building technology was high-tech for China at that time!
Then again, if it wasn't for the scenic gate of Xunyi, Xianyang that attracted me this time, I might not even know the existence of Qin Zhidao. Although the Qin Zhidao’s engineering volume is huge, since few people went to maintain this road after the Tang and Song Dynasties, the leaves falling with the wind spread layers on the road, gradually decayed, and melted into a thin layer of dust. Soil, and the roots of weeds that touched the loess pavement of Qin Zhidao could not continue to grow, let alone grow big trees. This makes this Qin Zhidao inconspicuous but rather special. It's like a giant sword dropped in the wild grass, hard to find.
Now this ancient road still looks broad and grand, the road has been extended to the distance, disappearing into the sky, as if there is no end. This is an ancient road with a history of more than 2,200 years and the first ancient road with the honorary title of "the world's first highway". This is not available abroad. This honor reminds me of the joy of the working people after Qin Zhidao was successfully built. The wisdom of the ancients is admirable! The Qin Dynasty built the world's first highway, and the grass did not grow in 2200.
Qin Shihuang's talent is roughly admirable! All the work done has been recognized by people. It seems that the people at the time when the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries were still very happy, and the people of the six countries worked together to build military projects for the family. Does this mean that we are born with the genes of "infrastructure madness"? Later, we not only followed the construction of mountains and roads, but also built bridges over the river. What do you think of Qin Zhidao? The world's first "highway" built by the Qin Dynasty? It has a total length of 7,000 kilometers and has not grown grass for two thousand years.
