In the mid-Northern Song Dynasty, the soldiers of the Shaanxi Xiang Army (local army), under the background of "recruitment system" and "frequent border troubles", grew from despised handymen to imperial guards guarding Kaifeng. Between the battlefield and the court, they understood that "being a soldier is not only a job of making a living, but also the responsibility of protecting the peace of the country and the people", and completed the growth and transformation from "muddling through" to "loyally guarding the border".
