Liu Chong Cliff Carvings, Tang Dynasty – Late Qing Dynasty, at the foot of Shaowei Peak in Ke Village, Jiu Hua Township, at the northern foot of Jiuhua Mountain

This area is a narrow basin covering approximately one square kilometer. It is surrounded by peaks including Wulao Peak, Shuangfeng, Shaowei Peak, and Tianxiang Ridge, with the Gaoyang River flowing through, offering beautiful natural scenery. Since the Tang Dynasty, when Fei Guanqing secluded himself here, generations of people have followed suit, hiding away in this area to build houses for study and writing. During the Song Dynasty, the hermit Liu Fang from Qingyang carved the three characters “Qing Yin Yan” (清隐岩, meaning “Secluded Rock of Purity”) on the steep cliff face, each character nearly one meter in size, with bold and powerful strokes. Since then, many have been drawn to add their own inscriptions, forming a cluster of cliff carvings. The Liu Chong Cliff Carvings span more than 1,200 years from the late Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. The carvings feature exquisite craftsmanship and vigorous, forceful strokes, making them rare masterpieces of calligraphy with significant research value.
