Introduction to Yumen

Yumen, another name of Longmen, is located in the northwest of Hejin County, Shaanxi Province. It is said that it was carved by Yu Xia. There is a famous Yumenkou in the Yellow River Canyon, one kilometer northwest of Hejin County, Shanxi Province. Yumen used to be Longmen. According to "Notes on Water Classics", "The Longmen was carved by Yu, with a width of 80 steps, and there are still traces among the rocks." Later generations miss Yu's merits and call it Yumen.
