Lushan Cliff Inscriptions

The Lushan Cliff Inscriptions are a cultural relic protection unit of Jiangxi Province.

The Lushan Cliff Inscriptions (including the Yu lian Quan Cliff Inscriptions, Jian ji Si Cliff Inscriptions, Wo long Gang Cliff Inscriptions, and the "Dragon, Tiger, Mist, and Celebration" Wan Shan Temple Cliff Inscription Cluster), date back as early as the Southern Dynasties and continued through the Qing Dynasty.

Located in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, Mount Lu is world-renowned for its majestic and stunning natural scenery. In addition to its natural landscapes, its cultural attractions are also magnificent. An important part of these is the cliff inscriptions on Mount Lu. Due to their durability over time, cliff inscriptions have been widely used to record historical classics, serving as a form of human expression and documentation of thoughts. For over a thousand years, many literati, artists, and notable political figures have carved inscriptions on the rocks while visiting Mount Lu. These works interpret the scenery of Mount Lu and recount the rise and fall of history.
