Mudan River Side Wall

Mudan River Side Wall

The Mudanjiang Side Wall was built in the Tang Dynasty, presumably at the junction of Mudanjiang City in Heilongjiang Province and the northeast of Hailin County. The Eastern and western ends follow the east-west direction of the mountain body, and the middle part crosses the valley. It strikes southeast and northwest. Its basic position is between 130 degrees in East diameter and 45 degrees in North latitude.

The Mudanjiang side wall, consisting of three discontinuous sections, is distributed in the mountainous areas of Aimin District and Ningan City of Mudanjiang City. From north to south, the wall length of Mudanjiang section is 38.629 km, the wall length of East section is 22.394 km, and the wall length of Jingbohu section is 4.996 km. The whole wall length of the three sections is from southeast to northwest, with a total length of 66.019 km. The existence and discovery of the Mudanjiang border wall provide rare physical evidence for the study of archaeological work of ethnic minorities in the northeastern frontier of Tang Dynasty in China.

On May 25, 2006, the Mudan River Side Wall was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the Sixth Batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

Historical culture

From 691 to 692, the Tang army stationed in Yingzhou defeated the Heishui Mao tribal alliance under the leadership of Li Duozuo, and forced the forces of Heishui Mao to return to the original place of Sanjiang Plain. However, in the subsequent Yingzhou Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty who guarded the area was transferred back to suppress Yingzhou, which made the Tang Army extremely empty. The Heishui Mohe tribal alliance expanded southward again. By the time of the establishment of the seismogenic state in Dazhuorong, the Heishui Mohe tribal alliance might have been the northern boundary of the seismogenic state and the Heishui Mou tribal alliance, even if it had not expanded to the middle and lower reaches of Mudanjiang River. Buffer zone between force ranges. In order to solve the pressure and threat brought by the southern expansion of Heishui Mohe tribal alliance, Dazorong preferred to build defensive fortifications along its northern border, and the side wall of Jingbo Lake section should be built at this time. It is precisely because of the military defense line on the northern frontier that the earthquake-stricken country survived the crisis in the early stage. Da Zou Rong could devote himself to developing national strength. In a few years, he made himself "more than 100,000 households and tens of thousands of soldiers won".
