Bagua Park Scenic Area

　　Bagua Park Scenic Area is located 1.2 kilometers from the center of Tekes County. The park features a large Stele Forest of the Great Yi, inscribed with texts from the three versions of the Book of Changes—modern script, silk script, and bamboo slip script. These were meticulously compiled and researched over several years by Professor Liu Dajun, director of the Research Center for Yixue (Yijing Studies) and Ancient Philosophy at Shandong University, accurately reflecting the essence of Yijing culture. It holds significant value in both classical studies and historiography, marking the first national project to engrave all three versions of the Yijing on steles. This initiative has laid a solid foundation for academic exchange, research, and cultural development in promoting traditional Chinese culture, while also providing a tangible medium for the heritage of Yijing culture. Additionally, the stele corridor showcases calligraphy and paintings by renowned contemporary artists from China and abroad that reflect Yijing culture.

　　The park includes a museum, a calligraphy and painting academy, a bronze statue of King Wen, the Great Yi Stele Corridor, a painting and calligraphy gallery, the Sun-Moon Gate, an artificial lake, a Taiji water wheel, and a miniature landscape of the Bagua City. The museum currently houses a variety of precious cultural relics unearthed in Tekes, mainly including: fossils of walruses and seashells dating back approximately 30 million to 3 million years ago, bronze swords and knives from the Bronze Age, bronze chisels and stirrups from 2000–1000 BCE, Tang Dynasty stone-carved Tibetan inscriptions, steppe stone figures, standing sheep-handle bronze mirrors, Han Dynasty bronze earrings, rings, and other grassland ethnic folk artifacts totaling 58 types and 117 pieces, among which 24 are classified as national third-grade relics. The museum also holds more than 9,000 pieces of calligraphy and paintings from the 1993 "Bagua Cup" International Painting and Calligraphy Competition, both domestic and international.
