Today we'll discuss Zhuge Liang's inextricable bond with Jianmen Pass, known as "The Most Impressive Pass in the World." When discussing Jianmen Pass, one cannot help but recall the saying, "One man guarding the pass, ten thousand cannot break through." But did you know? The creation of this crucial pass stemmed from Zhuge Liang's foresight. In 225 AD, during his Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, Zhuge Liang passed through Dajian Mountain. Upon seeing the towering natural barrier, he immediately realized it was the perfect natural barrier to protect Shu Han! He personally ordered the construction of Jianmen Pass, including a thirty-mile plank road, by chiseling stones to create a flying bridge. From then on, this pass became an ironclad defense line on the Shu Road. Zhuge Liang's design was brilliant—he cleverly utilized the natural pass formed by Dajian Mountain and Xiaojian Mountain to create the strongest defense with minimal engineering effort. Thirty years after his death, it was this pass that enabled Jiang Wei, with only 30,000 defenders, to hold off the repeated attacks of Zhong Hui's 130,000-man army. Today, walking through Jianmen Pass, you can still sense Zhuge Liang's military wisdom: the choice of the tower's location and the construction of its defensive system embody the military philosophy of "holding the strategically important position." This place is more than just a scenic spot; it's an open-air military museum. Standing atop the tower, imagining Zhuge Liang, commanding his troops with his feather fan and robe, you'll understand: Jianmen Pass's peril is a gift from nature, its solidity the product of wisdom. #SonglikeJourney #ZhugeLiang #ThreeKingdomsCulture
