In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang relegated Hanwang and sent Xiao He to build a plank road. Hundreds of thousands of stone shops, countless grandparents' children went out to Sichuan to support the front line, so there is a saying that "the Han family is prosperous and the Shu people are born." Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms made a northern expedition to Cao Wei, and renovated and expanded the plank road, making it the main road for transferring troops and transporting grain. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the eternal swan song "Difficult Road to Shu".

There is a poem in "Difficult Road to Shu", "When a shock breaks, a brave man dies, and then the ladder is connected with the stone plank road". Is the construction of the plank road a half-cliff rope basket? Is it in the river? Or cross drilling, paving, drilling, in turn? It is still a mystery. Only the hundreds of plank road holes existing on the stone wall on the east coast can be made clear.

Pei Gong is the king of Hanzhong, Wang Bashu is the 41st county of Hanzhong, and the capital is Nanzheng. ..... Wang Liugong is in Nanzheng, and he collects the rent from Bashu to help the canteen ... ". This passage can prove the historical fact that Liu Bang sent Xiao He to repair the plank road of Yueming Gorge. Zhuge Liang's northern expedition to Cao Wei often led to the chaos of "no grain" He once sent Fei Mian to build this road, making it a thoroughfare for dispatching troops and using grain. "Cattle herding" is also a means of transportation to adapt to the traffic in Shu Road. However, due to the difficulty of Shu Road and the weakness of Shu Kingdom, the Northern Expedition finally failed.
Lu You's Soul Breaking the Moon Gorge: The poet Lu You was deeply saddened by the fact that the Southern Song Dynasty government gave up the great cause of resisting gold in the northwest and made no progress.

During the Han and Tang Dynasties, Sichuan Road was the political center of the whole country, an important post road connecting Chang 'an and southwest China, a political, economic and cultural link between Qin and Shu, and the oldest "national road" in China. Yue Ming Gorge is a collection of pre-Qin, Qin and Han cultures, Shu and Han cultures of the Three Kingdoms, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing cultures, Republic of China and New China cultures, all of which are developed with traffic as the main body. Therefore, it is not only a China Traffic History Museum, but also a China Cultural Museum with a long history and rich contents. According to legend, Liu Bang entered the customs by bypassing the Jialing plank road.
