2020 is destined to be an unforgettable year.
As we age, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new is increasingly accompanied by a sense of loss.
We continue to welcome better things, but we also lose some. No one can escape this year, but fortunately we have all survived.
Every year, together with three or five friends, I choose a certain place to celebrate the New Year and welcome the arrival of the new year. This year I chose a mountain town in the north to climb mountains and enjoy the snow. I want to Breathe in the cold wind and feel the stimulation of the cold wind entering your lungs.
A friend said, "As long as we can get a tie with life, we have not lost."
I hope everyone can have the strength to contend with life.
Hanzhong, owned by the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period, was called Hanzhong because the "Han River" passed through it. In ancient times, it was called Nanzheng, Liangzhou, and Xingyuan, and it was The source of the Han River.
Hanzhong is under the administrative jurisdiction of the southwest of Shaanxi Province , on the upper reaches of the Han River, with Qinling Mountains in the north, Daba Mountain in the south, and the Hanzhong Basin in the center.
The geographical location is at the junction of Shaanxi and Sichuan, south of the Qinling Mountains, and is closer to Sichuan. As the core area of the Shu Road, it is the only place for Qin people to enter Shu and Shu people to enter the customs.
Therefore, Hanzhong seems to be closer to Sichuan in terms of geography, climate, and cultural features, but is very different from Guanzhong. It is no wonder that many people say that Hanzhong is a Shaanxi city with Sichuan flavor.
The "Han" character in Hanzhong is very eye-catching. We know that there are also Han nationality, Han people, Han Dynasty, Hanshui, Hankou, etc., so what exactly is the "Han" in these names? What does it mean?
Investigating the origin, the original meaning of "Han" is the name of water, which refers to Yangshui.
According to recorded records, there were two names for Yangshui during the Qin and Han Dynasties: one is "Yangshui comes out of Xiangdao in Longxi, and reaches Wudu in the east for the Han Dynasty" ("Shuowen·Shuibu" Yangtiao), this Yangshui is also called the Western Han River , flows into the Jialing River, and merges into the Yangtze River; the second is that "Fan Tombs guide the Yangtze River to flow eastward to the Han Dynasty" ("Shang Shu Yu Gong", Fanzhong Mountain is in Ningqiang County, Shaanxi Province today). This Yangtze River is also called the East Han River, and it was also called the East Han River at that time. The Mianshui River, now the Han River, also flows into the Yangtze River.
Therefore, Hanzhong has been known as the "Heavenly Han" since ancient times. It is the main birthplace of the culture of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. It is known as the "cradle of the Han family and the cornucopia of China". There are also four treasures in Hanzhong. :Crested ibis, giant panda, golden monkey and takin.
The cultural heritage of the Three Kingdoms in Hanzhong is quite profound, and many popular stories have happened here: Cao Cao destroyed the Hanzhong king Zhang Lu and walked through the Baoxian plank road, Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty in Hanzhong, and the story of Huang Zhong's sword slashing Xia Houyuan also happened.
