Annieli tours’s Beijing Tour Guide answer:
So what he was going to call the pass around Great Wall of China. The official thought a bit and said “Timianguan”. From now on the pass was called “Timianguan”.
It was called Timianguan from Qin Dynasty to the Qing Emperor Kangxi years. So why did they change the name? Emperor Kangxi liked to incognito travel. One day Emperor Kangxi dressed himself up as a common man. The guards subjected him to an inquisition and ordered him to dismount from a horse. Emperor Kangxi refused to dismount from his horse.
5th art of the Origin of “the First Pass under Heaven” is over.
