My hometown is a beautiful town. Although it is small, it has many famous places of interest and a long history and culture.

My hometown Jiexiu has a long history. The earliest recorded Jiexiu history in domestic history books is the five years of Lu Yingong in Zhou Dynasty. In 636 BC, Jin Wengong rebelled, rewarded the minister, and Jiezitui refused to record merit, and lived in seclusion with his mother in Mianshan. Jin Wengong burned the forest for wisdom, and the son retired with his mother, so Jiexiu was named after Jietui. Since 5 14 BC, in Jiexiu history, Wuxian County was built in the east, Zhouyi in the west, Qin Shihuang set up a county, and the urban area was built in Jiexiu, which was later changed to Mei Jie, Jiexiu and Pingchang. In the twelfth year of the Spring and Autumn Period (5 14), Wuxian County was established. Qin established boundaries in Xiuxian County. Xin Mang became Mei Jie. Renaming in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Western Jin Dynasty was changed to Jiexiu County, named after Mianshan (Jieshan), where Jin Wengong's courtiers and mesons were pushed to death in the Spring and Autumn Period. Wuxian and Jiexiu counties were abolished during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. In the eighth year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (484), Jiexiu was established, and in the nineteenth year, Wuxian was established. 1February, 992, with the approval of the State Council, Jiexiu County was changed to a county-level city, with the same administrative area and still under the jurisdiction of Jinzhong Administrative Office. It governs 7 towns, 3 townships, 232 administrative villages and 5 sub-district offices.

My hometown Jiexiu is a famous tourist attraction with beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery. Mianshan in the territory stands like a screen, divides water like a belt, and places of interest are dotted around. Mianshan Scenic Area is one of the six low mountain tourist attractions in China, which is famous for its natural landscape of "strangeness, danger and beauty" and its humanistic landscape of "antiquity, strangeness and beauty". Most temples and Taoist temples are built between cliffs, and the main scene is belly-shaped, and the cave can accommodate 10 thousand people, which is really rare. Mianshan has been a tourist attraction since Sui and Tang Dynasties. 1926, the king of Sweden climbed the mountain with his family to worship Buddha. Since 1996, Sanjia Company, a private enterprise, has invested 560 million yuan in development and construction, forming the scale of ten scenic spots 120. Since 2000, the ticket revenue and the number of tourists for nine consecutive Golden Weeks have ranked first in all major scenic spots in the province. Zhangbi Castle is known as "the twin cities on the ground and underground, the natural museum in the temple courtyard", which is comparable to Romasius Castle, and its anti-geomantic architectural style is a miracle in the history of oriental architecture. The Taoist Temple complex in Houtu Temple is magnificent, with exquisite architecture and exquisite glass art, and is known as the architectural treasure of glass art. There is also Bai Qin, the first cypress in China, and Xuanshen Building, one of the three famous buildings in Sanjin, which has unique charm, surprises the whole province and enjoys a good reputation throughout the country.

Jiexiu is also rich in products, including coal, bauxite, gypsum, clay, timely ore, pyrite, limestone, purple sand, vermiculite, purple wood festival, crystal, saltpeter, phosphate rock and asbestos. And wild animals: earth leopard, forest musk deer, blue sheep, pangolin, horse carving, wolf, fox, badger, wild pig and so on.
