Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

The Wu-Chu Boundary Marker is located atop Zhe Ridge in Zheyuan Township, Wuyuan County. Zhe Ridge serves as the boundary mountain between Wuyuan and Yao'an, Anhui. During the Spring and Autumn Period, it marked the divide between the states of Wu and Chu. There are two sets of stone steps leading up to the ridge from Wuyuan, both neatly paved with uniform, rectangular stone slabs. The Southern Song Dynasty statesman Quan Bangyan once visited this spot and composed a poem that includes the lines “Loftily overlooking the land of Wu, winding all the way to the tail of Chu.” The “Wu-Chu Boundary” stone tablet is inscribed in intaglio clerical script, with the four characters “Yunhu Zhan Kui” inscribed in the lower right corner. The tablet stands 1.7 meters tall, 0.73 meters wide, and 0.1 meters thick, and is erected at the summit of Zhe Ridge. At the ridge’s peak, there are also historic sites and scenic spots such as the Wanshan Nunnery, Dongchun Pavilion, One-Line Spring, and the Duipo Tomb from the Five Dynasties period.
