@Friends in Beijing: Your "warmth" comes from this first city at the foot of Yinshan Mountain!

When people in Beijing

Brushing the phone

In the bitter cold

Enjoy warmth with electric heaters

They probably need to be thanked

A county-level city 400km away

Tuoketuo County, Inner Mongolia

It has the world's largest operating thermal power plant

Power required to run heaters and charge mobile phones in Beijing

Mostly from here

One quarter of Beijing's lights are lit up by it

(The Tuoketuo Power Plant is still clearly visible when viewed from thousands of meters above. The smoke rising into the sky is the water vapor discharged by the power plant. Photographer: @陈剑峰)

▼

This county town seems to have

Incredible power

It is the first

The first city built at the foot of Yinshan Mountain

It can be called " the first city at the foot of Yinshan Mountain "

(Please watch in horizontal mode, the ancient city of Tuoketuo, with Yinshan Mountain in the distance, photographer @周昫光/Planetary Research Institute, map @张琪月/Planetary Research Institute)

▼

In today's industrialized and urbanized world

This power has not faded yet

It is an important biopharmaceutical city in China.

Related companies located here

Or the world's largest chlortetracycline production

The world's largest producer of ampicillin and amoxicillin

Or the world's largest producer of coenzyme Q10

······

This county town

What kind of power is that?

How did all this happen?

01

At the foot of Yinshan Mountain

"Chi Le Chuan, under the Yin Mountains..."

The place where the song "Chi Le Song" is sung

This is the plain where Tokto is located.

Yinshan

He is the "guardian angel" here.

Its average altitude is about 1500-2000m

The south slope has a drop of about 1000m.

Straight down to the plain

Like the "Great Wall of Despair"

(Please watch in horizontal mode. Water birds are flying in front of the cliffs of Yinshan Mountain. Photographer: @仇梦涵)

summer

Warm and humid air currents from the Pacific Ocean

Unable to climb over the Yinshan Mountains, condensing into rain

winter

A cold wave from Siberia

Blocked by Yinshan Mountain

The temperature difference between the south and north of the mountain is about 6-12℃

Yinshan is like a mother's body

Protect the plains including Tokto in your arms

This precious land is suitable for farming and grazing

Nature becomes the place where all parties meet

(The Yinshan Mountains are the northern boundary of my country's monsoon and non-monsoon regions, the northern boundary of the agricultural-pastoral transition zone, and the transition zone between the temperate semi-arid and arid climates. Map by @吴昕恬/Planet Research Institute)

Warring States Period

King Wuling of Zhao expanded his territory to the north

Establish a defense line along Yinshan Mountain

There is an urgent need for a frontier fortress to guard the country's borders

Legend has it that when choosing a site

King Wuling of Zhao strolls at the foot of Yinshan Mountain

Suddenly, the clouds dispersed and the sky fell, and the flying birds flew into the clouds

He was inspired by the wonders before him.

So they decided to build a city here, and named it " Yunzhong ".

(now Gucheng Village, Tuoketuo County)

This is the first time in recorded history

The first city at the foot of Yinshan Mountain

It is also the first city in Inner Mongolia.

(There is no dispute that Yunzhong City is the earliest ancient city in Inner Mongolia, but there are two views on the builder of Yunzhong City: King Wuling of Zhao and Marquis Wu of Zhao. This article adopts the view of King Wuling of Zhao building the city in "Tokto History". Photographer @周昫光/Planetary Research Institute, map @张琪月/Planetary Research Institute)

▼

It can be said

When the city was first built

Carrying a

The ambition to conquer the mountains and rivers

In the Cloud

The first boom

Arriving here

King Wuling of Zhao used Yunzhong City as his base

Establishment of Yunzhong County

Roughly the same as today's Tuoketuo County

Yuanyang County under the jurisdiction of Yunzhong County

(Today, on the left bank of the Dahei River in Tuoketuo County)

Became a training base for cavalry

King Wuling of Zhao implemented reforms here

Imitating the attire of the Hu people riding horses and shooting arrows

Building a new army

It is called " Hufu Qishe " in history.

▼

King Wuling of Zhao

Pushing Zhao to its peak

During the Warring States Period

With the help of the warriors in the clouds

He even planned to attack the Qin capital Xianyang

However, compared with Zhao's innovation in weapons

Qin's Reforms in Agriculture and Military Merit System

It can fundamentally enhance national strength

Yunzhong City was also conquered by Li Xin, a famous general of Qin

Incorporated into the Qin Empire

214 BC

Qin general Meng Tian led an army of hundreds of thousands

Drive the Xiongnu to the north of Yinshan Mountain

Cloud City has since become

The political, military and economic core of northern Xinjiang

(Sketch of the location of Yunzhong in the Qin Dynasty, drawn by @吴昕恬/Planetary Research Institute)

▼

Qin Shihuang also

Building a "highway", also known as a "highway"

Passing through Yunzhong, you can go directly to the capital Xianyang

210 BC

Qin Shi Huang died suddenly during his inspection tour

I drove back from this road.

Taking advantage of the transition from Qin to Han

The Huns return

The leader Mao Dun Shan Yu

Leading his people

Re-enter Cloud City and surrounding areas

(From "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of the Xiongnu")

▼

"Modun...recovered all the Xiongnu territory that was seized by Meng Tian, ​​the Qin envoy...and the Chanyu's court directly replaced Yunzhong"

(Bronze helmet of the Warring States Period, photographer @周昫光/Planetary Research Institute, map @张琪月/Planetary Research Institute)

Facing the Huns' strength

129 BC

General Wei Qing attacks the Xiongnu

One of them emerged from the cloud

123 BC

Wei Qing once again led Li Guang

Wait for six generals to attack the Huns

Resting the troops in Yunzhong

The iron fist of the Han Dynasty caused the Xiongnu to lose the Yinshan area

This means they lost

Geographical channel into the Central Plains

Very passive strategically

(From "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of the Xiongnu")

▼

"After the Xiongnu lost Yinshan, they never failed to cry when passing by."

(In 1988, a pottery fragment with the word "Yunzhong" printed on it was discovered at the ruins of Yunzhong Ancient City in Gucheng Village, Tokto County. It is a relic from the late Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Photographer: @周昫光/Planetary Research Institute, map by @张琪月/Planetary Research Institute)

▼

In the Cloud

This piece of land gave birth to the first city at the foot of Yinshan Mountain

Welcome

The second boom

It has a very resounding name.

" Dahan Yunzhong County "

Here are strong soldiers and brave generals

Han Dynasty general Li Guang once stationed troops here

Guarding the front line against the Huns

(The following is from "Out of the Frontier" by Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty. "Flying General" refers to Li Guang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty)

▼

"As long as the flying general is in Longcheng, the Hu horse will not be allowed to cross Yinshan Mountain."

Wei Shang, the governor of Yunzhong, was powerful in the northern border

Even if you are dismissed for a minor mistake

But when the Huns invaded

The emperor still sent minister Feng Tang

With the "Jie" as a token of trust, he was reinstated

(The following is from Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi·Mizhou Hunting")

▼

"Holding the imperial seal in Yunzhong, when will Feng Tang be sent?"

(Interestingly, the stories of Feng Tang and Li Guang both appear in the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng", "Feng Tang is easy to grow old, Li Guang is hard to be granted a title", the picture below is a bronze tripod from the Han Dynasty unearthed in Tuoketuo County, photographer @申皓, map @张琪月/Planet Research Institute)

▼

It's relatively wealthy here.

Not only can it support the local army

Even in 48 B.C.

The Xiongnu people asked the Han for help because of hunger

The court could also

Allocate 20,000 kilograms of grain to the Xiongnu

The Yunzhong area also unearthed

The "clock" of the Han Dynasty is the "sundial"

This is the earliest sundial in China.

It is also the only intact sundial from the Han Dynasty.

Because of its fine texture like jade

Also known as the "Jade Plate Sundial"

(Han Dynasty sundial, photographer @柳叶氘, map @张琪月/Planetary Research Institute)

▼

The shock of the Han Dynasty's powerful strength

Let the Xiongnu bring generous gifts to the court

Actively proposed marriage with the Han Dynasty

Wang Zhaojun, a Han Dynasty palace maid

So I passed through the clouds and went to the desert.

When the Han Dynasty decayed and collapsed

The Huns were ready to make a move

Occupy Yunzhong

(Han Dynasty Yunzhong cultural relic, bronze stove, may be a marching cooking utensil, photographer @周昫光/Planetary Research Institute, map @张琪月/Planetary Research Institute)

▼

Start from now

The power of the Central Plains dynasty declined

Gradually gave up

Control over Yunzhong and northern Xinjiang

The other force

The Xianbei people began to appear here

386 AD

Xianbei Tuoba Gui established the Northern Wei regime

In order to consolidate the military strength of the Yinshan lineage

The Northern Wei Emperor in the Yunzhong area

He established a temporary palace and made frequent inspections.

(Records of the Northern Wei emperors' travels in the clouds, drawn by @张琪月/Planetary Research Institute)

▼

From here, I entered the cloud

The third boom

At this time, Yunzhong City was built from the Warring States Period to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The largest ancient city at the foot of Yinshan Mountain

The ancient city of Wuquan, also under the jurisdiction of Yunzhong County

The circumference of the city wall is about 5,700 meters

The adjacent Jiuyuan County City Site is about 4,000 meters

The circumference of Cloud City is about 7,200 meters.

How magnificent

There is a tall mound in the center of the city.

The site of the Bell and Drum Tower

A corner tower is set up in the northeast corner of the city

There is a small square town in the southwest corner

Bricks and column bases scattered from the Northern Wei Dynasty

It should be a government office

(Sketch of the ancient city in the clouds, drawn by @吴昕恬/Planetary Research Institute)

▼

This city in the clouds

Closely connected to the whole country

Tianshan Road, Dingxiang Road in the Clouds

The Qin Dynasty Chidao and the latter part of Zhaojun's journey to the frontier

Eight main roads including Yunzhong Road and Xiyu Line meet here

Forming a hub network with extensive connections

Construction of Cloud City

It is a microcosm of countless cities in the Northern Wei regime.

Nearly a hundred years of hard work

It also made Xianbei the first

The nomadic people who unified the Central Plains

(Please watch in horizontal mode, the route of the Yunzhong Post Road is shown here, drawn by @吴昕恬/Planet Research Institute)

now

We touch the ruins of the old city in the clouds

Count the kings, princes, generals and ministers who came and went here

King Wuling of Zhao, Li Xin, Meng Tian

Wei Qing, Li Guang, Feng Tang

Xiongnu Chanyu, Northern Wei Emperor

······

Reminiscing about the life that was once vivid

A bloody body galloping on the battlefield

The earth-shaking cheer

The charging army raised a cloud of sand

······

Those majestic figures

Has long since dissipated like smoke

They left nothing behind

But the city remained

(Please watch in horizontal screen, Ancient City in the Clouds, Photographer @周昫光/Planetary Research Institute, Map by @张琪月/Planetary Research Institute)

▼

Outside the Ancient City in the Clouds

Tuoketuo County also has thirteen ancient city ruins

It is the area with the most densely populated city ruins in Inner Mongolia.

For example, in order to stop the Turks

The Tang Dynasty repaired Dongshoujiang City

To defend the Jin Kingdom

Liao State newly built Dongshengzhou City

To resist the Mongols

The Ming Dynasty built Dongshengwei City, etc.

(Dongsheng Acropolis, photographer @周昫光/Planetary Research Institute)

But outside of war

Another factor

Led the emergence of some ancient cities and towns

That is the Yellow River

02

Yellow River

The Dahei River originates from the Daqingshan section of the Yinshan Mountains.

Flows into the Yellow River from north to south

The intersection is

Hekou Town in Tuoketuo County

(Sketch of the Tuoketuo River system. The Yellow River flows through Tuoketuo County for 37.5 kilometers. Map by @吴昕恬/Planet Research Institute)

▼

This is the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

The dividing point with the midstream

It is also an important hub for trade and personnel exchanges.

Many Yellow River crossings such as "Junzijin"

All over this

A large number of commodities such as furs, grains and oils from the Hetao Plain

Enter the Yellow River through the wharf of Hekou Town

Transport to Central China

At the latest in the Liao and Jin dynasties

Hekou Town has become a cargo distribution center

Later, the Qing court set up

The administrative port for the marketing of Mongolian salt

(The Yellow River is relatively gentle here, and boats can stop on both banks. Photographer: @周昫光/Planet Research Institute)

▼

During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty

Three years of severe drought in Shanxi and other places

A large number of people crossed the Yellow River ferry

Flocking to Tuoketo and other places to make a living

It is called " Going West "

They reclaimed wasteland, cultivated land, and settled down.

Tokto, where "the wind blows the grass low and you can see the cattle and sheep"

Gradually built by immigrants

Agricultural villages occupy

(Village in Tuoketuo County, photographer @周昫光/Planet Research Institute)

After the Cloud City built by Yinshan

Hekou Town, the town that controls the Yellow River

Leading Tuoketuo to realize its ambitions

Seize this opportunity to "go west"

Absorbing a huge population and expanding the scale of towns

Its layout is centered on the Yuwang Temple.

Radiating out to the front street (first street) and back street

Second Street, Third Street

The road on the south side leads directly to the Yellow River Wharf

The west side has a Yellow River

and the flooded dams of the Dahei River

The dam is suitable for carriages to travel on.

Through all the roads

A wide variety of goods

Converging in the center of town

Coming from all directions and going to all directions

(Sketch of the streets and alleys in Hekou Town, drawn by @吴昕恬/Planet Research Institute)

Licorice transported from Hekou Town

Selling well across the country along the waterway

Even exported to North Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia and other countries

A number of liquorice trading companies including Gongyichang and Rongshengchang

Gather here

China's largest licorice transshipment terminal

Of course, it is located in Hekou Town

And the prosperity continued until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

(From "Qikou Chronicles")

Trade associations of different faiths

Each of them contributed money to build a temple

Most of the craftsmen who undertook the construction were from Shanxi.

So the river town

There is Zhenwu Temple in the east and Heshen Temple in the west.

There are Dragon King Temple and God of Wealth Temple in the north.

To the south are Guandi Temple, Nainai Temple, and Wudao Temple.

Every temple fair

The people here

Will hold it firmly

03

Heart of the Hetao

The opportunity came in 2000

With the advancement of the "West-to-East Power Transmission" strategy

Approved by relevant national authorities

Tuoketuo Power Plant construction begins

It was completed and put into use in 2003

Just over 10 years later

It has grown into the world's largest operating thermal power plant

(View of Tuoketuo Power Plant from a height of 1,000 meters, photographer @陈剑峰)

Such an important project

Why land in Tokto County?

Why is it growing so rapidly?

When we use the scale of the Hetao Plain

Observe the location of Tuoketuo County

You will get the answer

This place is located in Hohhot, Baotou, Ordos

The heart of three cities

The largest open-pit mine in China

Ordos Heidaigou coalfield is only 50 kilometers away

Economically developed areas such as Hohhot and Baotou
