Yinan archway is located in the elegant lawns of Zijinshan and Ruoyun Academy in the south of Sicheng. It was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty to commend the 26th generation chieftain Peng Jinan for leading local soldiers to resist Japanese invasion. In the thirty-third year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1954), Peng Jinan, the 26th generation chieftain, who was only 18 years old, led 5000 troops to fight against the Japanese pirates in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Soldiers are good at using hook knives, flexible in queue and brave in combat. In the battle of Wang Jiang Trail, the whole army was wiped out 1900 people. The Ming Dynasty said that "since the Japanese invaders came into being, there has been no war in the southeast, which is the first achievement" and set up a memorial archway of "Children and grandchildren will enjoy forever" as a punishment. Yi Shinan Square looks broken because of the weather, but it is still passed down by Tujia children and regarded as a treasure. Just like the Stone Square, there is the most grand, enthusiastic and legendary festival of Tujia nationality "Catch the Year".

Peng Yina decided to celebrate the New Year one day in advance, so that Tujia children can go to the front to defend the coastal areas after the New Year. Therefore, this custom has been passed down to this day.

In the 19th year of Kangxi, the Qing court pursued Wu Shizhen, the grandson of Wu Sangui who rebelled against the imperial court, and Wu retreated to Chen Longguan, which was located in Guanzhuang Town, Yuanling County, at the junction of Changde and Huaihua. It is the only way from Kyoto to Yunguichuan, and the terrain is dangerous, which the Qing army can't capture for a long time. Peng Tingchun and Peng Honghai led 3,000 troops to battle, captured Chen Longguan, and Kangxi was overjoyed, making Peng Honghai Yongshun and other places ambassadors and generals.
