Dajingmen is a very special pass among the many passes of the Great Wall of China. It has been listed as an important pass like Shanhaiguan, Juyongguan and Jiayuguan in domestic and foreign academic circles. The passes of the Great Wall of my country are all called "passes" and "passes", but only the pass in Zhangjiakou is called "Jingmen", which contains the charm of "business culture" and "martial culture" and also flows with the historical origin of ethnic integration. Since the fifth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty, the area around Yuanbaoshan outside Dajingmen in Zhangjiakou has gradually formed a border trade market known as "tribute market" and "tea-horse trade" in history. Livestock, furs, medicinal materials, woolen fabrics, silverware, etc. from the Mongolian grasslands and the hinterland of Europe were exchanged for silk, tea, porcelain and white sugar here, and the area outside Dajingmen became an inland port for international barter trade in northern my country. The feudal dynasty used the Great Wall and the gate as boundaries, and foreigners doing business could only trade outside the city. "Jingmen" means the gate of the border. In 1927, the four large characters "Great Rivers and Mountains" written in Yan style by Gao Weiyue, the governor of Chahar, on the lintel of Dajing Gate are vigorous and powerful, quite spectacular, and add more charm to Dajing Gate.

From the perspective of Eastern philosophy, Dajingmen Scenic Area is not only a witness of history, but also a place that embodies the concept of "harmony between man and nature". In Taoist philosophy, the harmonious coexistence of man and nature is regarded as the highest realm. The integration of natural scenery and human history in Dajingmen Scenic Area embodies this philosophical thought. The magnificence of mountains and rivers and the solemnity of ancient buildings make people feel the harmonious coexistence of nature and human civilization, as if telling the ancient wisdom that man and nature should respect each other and live in harmony. From the perspective of Confucianism, Dajingmen Scenic Area is a space that embodies "benevolence" and "etiquette". Confucianism emphasizes "benevolent people love others". In the scenic area, whether it is respect for history or love for nature, it reflects the benevolence of all things. At the same time, the monuments and cultural activities in the scenic area, such as the celebration of traditional festivals, also show the style of a country of etiquette, allowing people to feel the cultural influence and moral improvement during the tour. Turning to Western philosophy, Dajingmen Scenic Area can be seen as a manifestation of historical materialism. From the perspective of Marxism, the development of history is driven by the transformation of the material production mode. As a witness of history, Dajingmen has recorded the changes in social economy in different historical periods and reflected the laws of development of human society. Every brick and tile in the scenic area carries the memory of history, telling how humans create history through labor and how to move forward in social change. From the perspective of existentialism, Dajingmen Scenic Area is a place for people to think about the meaning of "existence". Existentialism emphasizes individual freedom and choice. Facing the relics of history, everyone can reflect on their own existence here, think about the relationship between individuals and history and nature, and how individuals find their own position and value in the vast river of time. In summary, whether it is from the "unity of man and nature", "benevolence" and "etiquette" of Eastern philosophy, or the historical materialism and existentialism of Western philosophy, Dajingmen Scenic Area provides a rich space for philosophical thinking, allowing people to not only appreciate the beautiful scenery during the tour, but also think deeply about the profound meaning of life, history and nature.
