Will Bijie be renamed Qixingguan?

It has been changed! As we all know, Qixingguan is one of the famous passes in Guizhou, located on the Liuhong River, 45 kilometers away from the urban area. On both sides of the river valley, the cliffs are sharp, and the seven peaks are tall and straight, just like the Big Dipper, hence the name Qixingguan. According to legend, Zhuge Wuhou of the Shu-Han Dynasty used it to sacrifice seven stars, which made him famous in all directions.

Qixingguan is located in Yangjiawan Town, Bijie City, about 45 kilometers away from the urban area. Together with Loushanguan and Shengjingguan, it is also called the three famous customs in Guizhou. There are different opinions about the origin of the name of Qixing Pass. One theory is that the seven peaks facing Qixingguan are shaped like the Big Dipper, hence the name Qixingguan. Another way of saying this is that Zhuge Liang passed by here during his southern expedition and lit seven-star lanterns here to worship in the face of surging rivers and dangerous customs. There is no way to verify the authenticity of the legend, but the legendary seven-star stone stands on the cliff on the river bank. Since ancient times, Qixingguan has been the transportation hub of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and has always been a battleground for military strategists. In ancient times, when literati traveled to Mingchuan Mountain, they would leave all kinds of relics. There are many stone carvings on the rocks on the bank of Qixingguan, which is the famous Qixingguan Cliff. The sturdy piers of the Seven-Star Guan Qiao Old Bridge still exist, and the intact bridge protection bunker standing by the river is still faithfully waiting for the memories in the depths of the years.

In the summer, he was the director of the Political Department of the Sixth Red Army Corps1February, 936, and died in Qixingguan on the way to the Long March of the Second and Sixth Red Army Corps.

Old Bijie City was renamed Qixingguan District, similar to Honghuagang District in Zunyi.
