Tian Ji, then the mayor of Hanzhong, once said: The characteristic of Hanzhong lies not only in the Han culture, but also in Liu Bang's great cause of the Han Dynasty, because of its special geographical location and the diversity of climate and ecology. Hanzhong is adjacent to Qinling Mountain in the north, Bashan Mountain in the south and Hanzhong Plain in the middle. Hanzhong Basin is a famous granary in China, and it also carries the vast majority of the population in Hanzhong. This is the dividing line between the north and south climate and the river watershed in China, with four distinct seasons. The Nanhu scenic spot in Hanzhong is warm and humid, with no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer, which creates species diversity. "Hanzhong's forest coverage rate is 52%, and the forest and grass vegetation coverage rate is 60%, which is rare in the country. There are 567 rivers such as Hanjiang River and Jialing River in Hanzhong, which is the water source of the national South-to-North Water Transfer Project. " Tian Jie believes that the "South-to-North Water Transfer Project" is not only beneficial to the water transfer areas, but also beneficial to the water transfer areas. In order to ensure the water quality transferred to Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, it is necessary to control soil erosion in the Hanjiang River basin, prevent pollution and increase urban infrastructure construction, which actually improves the civilization level, quality of life and modernization level of Hanzhong and makes the ancient city of Hanzhong more delicious!

Since then, the titles of Han Dynasty, Han nationality, Han nationality, Chinese language and Chinese culture have come down in one continuous line. During the Three Kingdoms period, Hanzhong was the main battlefield between Wei and Shu. Huang Zhong, a veteran of Wangjianglou in Guhantai, chopped the summer at the foot of Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong, while Zhao Yun, the master, was defeated by the water, and Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang, a generation of famous soldiers, spent eight years in Hanzhong and spent the most difficult years in his life. Six out of Qishan, northern expedition to Cao Wei, do my best.
