The village is located at the junction of Hubei and Chongqing, 61 kilometers east of Lichuan City, surrounded by cliffs. It is said that when the chieftains were fighting, the dangerous terrain of Yumu Village made it difficult for the opponent to attack for a long time. A few months later, Chieftain Ma who was defending the village dropped a live fish and hung it on the tree in front of Chieftain Tan who came to attack the village. Chieftain Tan sighed: "We are going to attack the village." Conquering this village is like seeking fish from a tree." Hence the name Yumu Village.
