Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the difficulty of Shu Dao: "Although Jiange is strong, one person can keep it and ten thousand people can't break it." Shu Dao Nan refers to Jianmenguan, located in Guangyuan, Sichuan, a famous tourist resort in China.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu and Han Dynasties, chiseled a stone here to build a flying Liangge, and later disposed of the Jiange on the cliff of Dajianshan, becoming a famous military pass. After the Sui Dynasty, Shaanxi and Gansu gradually diverted into Shu, and Zhanting Road to Dajian was gradually abandoned, and "Jiange" became another name for Jianmenguan. In the second year of the Republic of China, Jianzhou was changed to Jiange County, and Jiange has been referring to the county name ever since.

Jianmenguan has a dangerous terrain and has always been a battleground for military strategists. 1935, the Red Fourth Front Army fought fiercely and conquered Jianmenguan, a military fortress in northern Sichuan. Jianmenguan has also become a famous red cultural place.
