Xixia

　　Xixia in Cheng County is situated at the foot of Tianjing Mountain in Yiqiao Gorge, approximately kilometers west of Cheng County, Longnan, Gansu. It was carved in the fourth year of the Jianning era during the Eastern Han Dynasty, making it over 1,800 years old. Its full name is “Ode to the Governor of Wudu Commandery, Han Yanghe Yang Che Weng,” commonly known as the Yellow Dragon Stele. Both the inscription and its calligraphy hold significant value for archaeological research, as well as for copying and appreciation.

　　The Yiqiao Gorge, where the Xixia Ode site is located, features steep cliffs standing opposite each other, with rocky walls as dark as ink. A clear stream runs through the canyon year-round, splashing with waves, and the water flow shifts endlessly around the scattered rocks, forming a scenic area that combines waterfalls, rapids, pools, and ponds.
