It was called "Yamu", which means "tree god" in ancient Tujia language The name "yamugou" has been used up to now. Yamugou has been known as "the first ditch in Guizhou" since ancient times. "Guizhou No.1" comes from ancient books: there is a saying in Manzhi of the Tang Dynasty that "people travel all over the barbarian territory, and there is a record in the annals of Sizhou Prefecture that" the God of Yamu can not be described; the wonderful ditch is really the territory of Guizhou ".

In the ditch, the rocks are different, colorful, like human beings, birds and animals, and their manners are different and lifelike. The cliffs are precipitous and the mountains are overlapping, and they are marvelous. Some of them are as big as children's arms, and some are as thin as hair , intertwined with each other. The ditch is full of purple robe jade belt stone, with distinct color layers, as warm as jade.
