Introduction to the sculpture of Jiang Wei guarding the pass: The people of Jiange have a special affection for Jiang Wei, the general of the Shu Han Dynasty. In Jiange, many legends about Jiang Wei are still circulated.
In the sixth year of Jingyao (262 years), Wei attacked Shu and Hanzhong fell. Jiang Wei retreated to Jiange and led 5,000 elite soldiers to repel Wei generals Zhuge Xu and Zhong Hui, making it difficult for Wei soldiers to conquer Jianmen Pass. Therefore, Deng Ai, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, gave up Jianmen and sneaked across the Yinping Trail in November of that year, entered Jiangyou, broke through Mianzhu Pass (today's Huangxu Town, Deyang), and took Chengdu directly. Liu Chan, the successor, died without a fight on the first day of December. drop. At first, Jiang Wei and others heard that Zhuge Zhan was defeated, so they retreated from the passage between Guanghan and Li County (the old city is in the south of Santai County, Sichuan Province today) to find out what was true. Soon after, they received an order from the emperor to withdraw their troops immediately, so He put down his weapons, took off his armor, and walked to Zhong Hui's military camp in Fu County to surrender. In the first year of Xianxi (AD 264), Jiang Wei was killed by Wei soldiers in Chengdu. Although Jiang Wei guarded Jiange for only three months, and ultimately failed to defend the natural danger of Jianmen, the people of Jiange loved him very much and regarded him as a divine general.
