This weir is a low-dam irrigation project built by intercepting the Shuan River. The earlier time of weir construction was the era of Wang Mang in the New Han Dynasty. Wumen Weir consists of three parts: weir mouth, weir dam and weir channel. The weir mouth was first built with earth, but it collapsed in the event of a flood. From the Yuan Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty (1335-1340), Pu Yong, the magistrate of Chenggu County, changed the weir mouth into a stone masonry. The bottom of the canal was opened to five holes, two in the east and three in the west. The five gates can be opened and closed, hence the name "Wumen Weir".
