Yumen Pass: An invitation from a thousand years ago.

In the vast desert, the sound of camel bells echoes. About 60 km northwest of Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Gansu Province, the silent Yumen Pass stands like a weathered guardian of history, quietly gazing at the river of time. "Why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass." In Wang Zhihuan's poem, it is a frontier where the spring breeze cannot reach, full of the melancholy and loneliness of soldiers. Since the Han Dynasty, Yumen Pass has taken root in this land, undergoing several reconstructions, and in the Tang Dynasty, it became one of the largest frontier passes. In the past, the sound of clashing weapons and the majestic horns echoed through the frontier, and the footprints of soldiers and the tracks of merchants were deeply engraved into the thick city walls. On the Silk Road, camel caravans carrying silk, spices, and porcelain passed through the pass, bringing exotic customs and prosperity with the sound of camel bells. Yumen Pass, with its majestic body, protected the peace along the way and witnessed the splendid fireworks of cultural exchange. "The long wind blows thousands of miles, passing through Yumen Pass." Li Bai's boldness gave it an extraordinary spirit, as if the grandeur and heroism of the frontier were fully displayed in the long wind. Today, the prosperity has faded, and the smoke of war has dissipated. The remnants of the city walls and ancient relics exude a unique charm in the Gobi Desert. The rammed earth walls are full of wind erosion marks, like a history book carefully carved by time. Every groove and crack whispers the past. The bright moon that once hung high above the city, illuminating day and night, still casts its clear light. In a trance, the figure of a border guard leaning on his sword and looking homeward appears, and the lingering sound of the Qiang flute tells of parting. It is not just bricks and mortar, but a footnote to the glory of China, preserving the nation's ambition and inclusiveness. This invitation from a thousand years ago has been sent.
