🎧  Listen to Introduction

The Jingxi Ancient Road is like a big network that stretches across the entire Mentougou area. There are many long roads. These ancient roads mainly include commercial roads, military roads, and incense roads. They are interconnected. Among them, the commercial roads have the most historical relics. After hundreds of years of history, although they appear to be dilapidated, the ancient charm is still there. You can choose any small section to hike through. The Shuiyuzui-Dongshi Guyan Village section belongs to the North Road of the Xishan Ancient Road. It basically runs along the Yongding River Valley and is not very intense. Although Xishan Avenue starts from Sanjiadian in the east, we can also start directly from Shuiyuzui, cross Niujiaoling, and then pass Qiaoerjian and Magazhuang to reach Dongshi Guyan Village.

Philosophy related to the heritage

Interpretation from the perspective of Eastern philosophy: From the perspective of Eastern philosophy, the Beijing Jingxi Ancient Road Scenic Area Management Center is not only a historical site, but also a place that embodies the philosophical thought of "Tao follows nature". Eastern philosophy, especially Taoist philosophy, emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and believes that the laws of nature are the truth of the universe. As an important transportation route in ancient times, the Jingxi Ancient Road witnessed the interaction and adaptation between humans and the natural environment. The winding and tortuous ancient road reflects the wisdom of the ancients in adapting to the natural terrain and embodies the concept of "ruling by inaction", that is, using natural conditions to achieve human goals without destroying nature. At the same time, every relic on the ancient road, such as post stations and stone bridges, is a witness to the harmonious coexistence of human civilization and the natural environment, reflecting the idea of "harmony between man and nature" in Eastern philosophy. Interpretation from the perspective of Western philosophy: From the perspective of Western philosophy, the Beijing Jingxi Ancient Road Scenic Area Management Center is a place that embodies the philosophical thoughts of "historicism" and "existentialism". Western philosophy, especially historicist philosophy, emphasizes the continuity and change of history, and believes that history is the accumulation of human experience and the key to understanding reality and the future. As a witness of history, the Jingxi Ancient Road has recorded the changes from ancient times to the present. Each relic is a fragment of history, reflecting the style and culture of human society in different historical periods. From an existentialist perspective, every step on the ancient road carries the story of the pedestrians, and everyone's experience on the ancient road is unique, reflecting the philosophical view that "existence precedes essence", that is, human existence and experience define human essence. The ancient road is not only a material path, but also a spiritual journey. Everyone's experience on the ancient road is an exploration of the meaning of self-existence. In summary, whether from the perspective of "Tao follows nature" and "harmony between man and nature" in Eastern philosophy, or "historicism" and "existentialism" in Western philosophy, the Beijing Jingxi Ancient Road Scenic Area Management Center is a place full of philosophical thinking. It not only connects the past and the present, but also connects people and nature. It is a perfect combination of human wisdom and natural beauty.
