Xitugou (Tang Wuluojian) Site

Xitugou (Tang Wuluojian) site. Xitugou is a major stream in the western part of this area, flowing northwest in general, and was named Wuluojian in the Tang Dynasty. P.5034 "Shazhou Atlas Volume 5" says: "Wuluojian is fifty steps wide, the cliff is 15 feet deep, the water is eight feet wide and three feet deep. It originates from the southwest of the ancient Yangguan City, flows north ten miles southwest of the county, flows west to the west of Shimen Beacon, and enters the ancient city of Shouchang due west, which can be twenty miles. The people use it to irrigate their fields, and the water is salt-free, so it is named after it." The current Xitugou is slightly wider, deeper, and wider than the data in the Atlas, and the water has weakened and become shallower. There are ancient tombs on the west side of the stream, and there are ancient kiln sites along the line, as well as Huangyadong Beacon Tower, Xitugou West Beacon Tower, Nandun Beacon Tower and Hongquanba Beacon Tower.
