Stone Mountain Ancient Inscriptions

　　Ten kilometers southwest of Encheng Town, by the Jinjiang River at the stone-walled entrance of Datian, stands a rocky mountain. This place boasts not only lush greenery and beautiful scenery, but also Ming Dynasty stone carvings and mythical legends, making it an archaeological treasure and a popular tourist destination. The rocks on the mountain are mostly granite, varying in size. Some resemble oxen and horses, others birds in flight, displaying a myriad of forms and delightful charm—truly embodying the saying “viewed horizontally, a range; viewed vertically, a peak; near or far, high or low, each view unique,” offering breathtaking beauty.

　　On the northern side of the mountain lies an ancient stone inscription titled *The Record of Pacifying the Yao People on the Rock Face of Datian Field*, which dates back over 600 years. Legend has it that the inscription documents the brutal suppression of the Yao people by Han rulers in the Datian area during the Zhizheng era at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It holds not only historical research value but also artistic significance. As a result, this rock has been listed as one of the key protected historical relics.
