There is a Western Han Dynasty site in Jiuquan, Gansu, with a history of more than 2000 years

When you come to Jiuquan, Gansu for a tour, remember to check in at this ancient site that gives the city its name - the Western Han Jiuquan site. Even though two thousand years have passed, there is still the heroic spirit of the Han Dynasty and the ambition here. When you come to the city of Jiuquan for a tour, it would be a pity to just take a cursory look at the scenery. In fact, the history and culture of Jiuquan are more worth exploring than its scenery, and its name alone is quite significant. Jiuquan was formerly known as Suzhou, named for the 'spring under the city, its water like wine', and this spring is located within the Western Han Jiuquan site 1.9 kilometers east of Suzhou District. Walking into the park, the tourist mark of the horse stepping on the swallow is embedded in the main road in the form of a relief, and the sense of history is overwhelming. 'If heaven does not love wine, there would be no wine star in the sky. If the earth does not love wine, there would be no Jiuquan.' Li Bai justified drinking in 'Drinking Alone in the Flowers', and the reason is more than sufficient - if the earth did not like wine, there would be no place called Jiuquan. From a thousand years ago, Jiuquan has been carrying this pot quite steadily, and thinking about it makes one laugh. The park's architecture has a strong Western Han style, with old trees, thick trunks, and vigorous branches and leaves in the park. The simple and quaint Canzhu Pavilion is an admonition to wine lovers - drink when you should, and don't when you shouldn't. The pavilion must be a historical relic, with mottled paint falling off and illegible inscriptions on the stele, all showing the long passage of time. The spring named 'Jiuquan' is surrounded by finely carved granite railings, with the two characters 'Jiuquan' carved in Han script on the railings. The font is free and easy, and the 'three drops of water' seem to be wine overflowing from 'Jiuquan', exuding a strong aroma. The spring is followed by a natural lake, with large stone carvings on the shore as a backdrop, telling the historical story of how 'Jiuquan' got its name. In 121 BC, the Cavalry General Huo Qubing won a great victory in his expedition to the Xiongnu. Emperor Wu of Han awarded him royal wine, and Huo Qubing, seeing that there were many soldiers and little wine, poured the wine into the spring and drank with the soldiers, hence the name 'Jiuquan', and at the same time, he named the county Jiuquan. The main statue depicts Huo Qubing standing in front of the military flag with a stern look, holding a wine cup in his hand. The deputy general seems to be making a generous speech with his wine cup raised high, while a soldier next to him is drinking heavily, and another general is pouring the royal wine into the spring water. The expressions of the characters are vivid and quite infectious. The group sculpture in the back depicts the heroic scenes of the soldiers on the battlefield. In 121 BC, Huo Qubing fought two battles in Hexi against the Xiongnu, both of which were great victories. Such victories were due to the decisive leadership and strong leadership of the generals, and Huo Qubing was indeed the god of war in the Western Han Dynasty. At the same time, such victories could not be achieved without the bravery of ordinary soldiers in killing the enemy. 'One general achieves success and ten thousand bones are dry', the so-called victory is never achieved by one person alone. Jiuquan·Gansu
