Introduction materials of Yumen traditional culture in Gansu Province

In China, we still attach great importance to the cultural attractions left over from ancient times, because we can not only dig out ancient historical information from them, so that writers can better understand ancient times, but also reflect the continuity of our ancient culture and see that our traditional culture has a long history. Yumen ancient town in Gansu is one of them.

Let's learn about the geographical location of Yumen first. Yumen is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Jiuquan City, Gansu Province. Located in the west of Hexi Corridor in the northwest of Gansu Province, it connects Jiayuguan City and Jinta County in the east, Guazhou County in the west and Subei Mongolian Autonomous County in the north and south, with a total area of 1.35 million square kilometers. This is an ancient city of great historical significance.

Nowadays, with the exhaustion of resources, Yumen is slowly declining. Because the natural environment in Yumen is not good, the environment in Yumen is not as good as before, but why are there still many people traveling there? The answer is that there are too many monuments in Yumen. There are 0/04 pieces of cultural relics in Yumen City, including seven categories: city site, beacon tower, cave temple, ancient architecture, ancient ruins, ancient tombs and rock paintings. Among them, there are 7 provincial-level cultural relics protection units: Huoshaogou Site in Qingquan Township (Neolithic Age, about 3,700 years ago), Shaguoliang Site in Xiaojinwan Township (Neolithic Age), Thornton Site in Huahai Town (Han Dynasty), Han Great Wall Site in Huahai Town (Han Dynasty), Changma Grottoes in Changma Township (Five Dynasties and Early Song Dynasty), Changma Rock Paintings in Changma Township and Quanzi Tombs in Yumen Town.

Many people like to go to Yumen because of its historical and cultural sites. Although its natural environment is drying up, its historical culture and cultural sites are getting older and deeper. This is also a must-see for many fans of China's traditional culture and history.
