It is a distance of one car in ancient times, and its depth is about 300 meters. In 282 B.C., Qin sent envoys to Zhao, saying that he Shibi of Zhao would be replaced by 15 cities. Lin Xiangru was sent to Qin to expose the conspiracy of King Zhaoxiang of Qin face to face and plot to return to Zhao. Because of the state's reputation and meritorious service, he was listed as the prime minister, ranking above general Lianpo. Lianpo refused to accept, and threatened to embarrass him when he met. In order to take care of the overall situation of the country, Lin Xiangru gave in to Lianpo everywhere.

One day, they met on the way. Because of the narrow road, they couldn't give way to each other. Xiangru took the initiative to retreat into the alley. Please go ahead. Later, Lian Po understood what Lin Xiangru had told him. He was so moved that he went to the front of the prime minister's house with a slip on his back to plead guilty. From then on, he made peace with Lin Xiangru and they worked together to defend the country. This is the story of pleading guilty for the future generations.

Qin was the strongest among the seven heroes. He always wanted to rule the world. Because of his strength, he repeatedly violated Zhao's territory and refused to join the army. When Lin Xiangru came back to Zhao, he went to the meeting in Mianchi. He made great contributions to the Emperor Qin, and was on the right of Lianpo.

Lianpo, who is proud of his achievements in attacking cities and fighting in the field, is shamed and angry, and threatens to humiliate him. One day, Xiangru went out and walked through the narrow lane. He could not bear to bring his country into trouble, so he hid in the side lane. It is also a righteous act that attaches great importance to the national plan and belittles personal grievances.

If people do not understand it, they all regard Xiangru as a coward, and Lianpo does not understand its feelings and is becoming more and more arrogant. Yu Qing, a native of Fuhe, visited Zhao and met Lianpo. He was responsible for it with reason and knew it with emotion. He was very ashamed of his honesty, so he took advantage of his flesh to build the prime minister's office and knelt down in the court. Xiangru came forward to say goodbye. Since then, the state of Zhao has been thriving.

According to legend, this is the site of Lin Xiangru's former return car. The monument was built here in the 12th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, but it was damaged. This is a new inscription. (established on June 24, 1981)
