[Explanation] On September 10th, the 2020 Shanxi Province Sixth Tourism Development Conference "Entering Yanmen Pass" ceremony was held at the Yanmen Pass Great Wall in Xinzhou.

At the foot of the Great Wall, famous scholars such as Ji Lianhai, Dong Yaohui, and Wang Liqun shared stories about the Great Wall.

  "Nine in the world, headed by Yanmen", Yanmen Pass is a magnificent military defense project in ancient China. After more than 3,000 years of vicissitudes of life, Yanmen Pass has witnessed countless major events in history.

  The theme of this travel development conference is "Ancient Chinese Civilization in Shanxi-Great Wall Expo in Shanxi".

Shanxi is a major province of the Great Wall in China, and Xinzhou City, where the Tourism Development Conference was held, is covered in 13 counties (cities, districts). It is the most widely distributed area of ​​the Great Wall in Shanxi Province. The famous Great Wall "Outer Sanguan" —— Yanmen Pass, Ningwu Pass and Piantou Pass are all located here.

  The State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping announced that the city resources survey is now nationwide. We have 21,196 kilometers of Great Wall sites, including the 1,412 kilometers of Great Wall sites in Shanxi Province.

The 1412-kilometer Great Wall in Shanxi Province was built by six dynasties from the Warring States Period to the Ming Dynasty. The earliest Great Wall has a history of more than two thousand years.

  [Explanation] The Great Wall is not only an ancient architectural cultural heritage, but also contains rich cultural connotations behind it, which embodies the ideals, emotions and value pursuits of the Chinese nation.

The Great Wall culture embodies the ethnic temperament and cultural accumulation of the Chinese nation, and is a platform to promote the inheritance of the national spirit.

  During our exchange activities between Eastern and Western cultural scholars, some foreign scholars raised questions. He said, Mr. Dong, we see you say that the Great Wall is a symbol of human civilization. What is the basis for supporting your theory? In fact, human beings have come to us from ancient times to today. For the foreseeable future, there are always three major problems.

What is the primary problem?

Is survival.

The Great Wall has been building the Great Wall for more than 2,000 years. What is the primary problem to be solved by our nation, which is survival. The second problem is order. In fact, the Great Wall is a means to solve farming and nomadic order. Development and inheritance is the third problem. In fact, the Great Wall also represents a kind of inheritance supported by our culture.

  [Explanation] On the same day, the Shanxi Symphony Orchestra performed the first movement of the symphony "The Great Wall" and "The Great Wall Caprice" live at Yanmen Pass. The music reverberated among the towering green hills with magnificent momentum.

  [Concurrent] Ji Lianhai, a well-known scholar

  I think we need to retrain many tour guides. We have too many stories at Yanmen Pass.

If you want to hear Li Mu, I will talk about Li Mu, and if you want to hear Yang Jiajiang, I will talk about Yang Jiajiang.

Yanmen Pass has indeed witnessed too many wars of the Chinese nation. These wars are not only our history of suffering, but also our glorious history, but also our history of struggle, so we must not forget the history when we travel.

  [Concurrent] Well-known scholar Wang Liqun

  The Great Wall stands among the mountains. It should be a symbol of the Chinese nation's indomitable national character. This is the meaning of the Great Wall.
