Cliffside Rock Carvings of Fushan Mountain

　　The existing 483 cliffside rock carvings at Fushan span from the Tang and Song dynasties to the Republican period, showcasing varied literary forms and an array of calligraphic styles. Among them are 11 pieces from the Tang Dynasty, 24 from the Song Dynasty, 2 from the Yuan Dynasty, with the majority originating from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. These carvings include poems, travel journals, inscriptions from monasteries, as well as poetic signatures. The sizes range from characters as large as one square meter to some smaller than one inch. Some are bold and sharp as iron and silver hooks, others slender and precise, some full-bodied and rich, some dignified and graceful, and others dynamic and flowing. The creators of these carvings include literary masters, Buddhist monks, and renowned officials and celebrities. In 1981, all the cliff carvings were designated as a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit.
