Cliff Inscriptions at Pixue Waterfall

　　The cliff inscriptions at Pixue Waterfall are located at the foot of Bifeng Mountain in Wenchang Subdistrict, Tongcheng City. Beneath the western cliff wall of the front waterfall, there are inscriptions from the Shaoxing era of the Song Dynasty: “In the first month on the day of Jiayin in the year Bingzi of the Shaoxing reign, Fu Xindao of Fuyang, Chen Xincheng of Jian’an, Zhang Yaohou of Xingyang, and Huangfu Songsheng of Hefei visited here together.” On the northern cliff face of the rear waterfall, the two clerical-script characters “Bingxue” (“Collapsing Snow”) are carved.

　　Pixue Waterfall is divided into three parts: the front waterfall, Pilon (a narrow section), and the rear waterfall. “The front waterfall is majestic, the rear waterfall is perilous, and Pilon is long and narrow with uniquely beautiful scenery.” The Tongcheng County Annals Continued Edition from the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty states: “After rain, Pixue Waterfall cascades down, attracting visitors who often leave poetic inscriptions.” As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, this place had already become a widely renowned tourist destination.

　　The cliff inscriptions at Pixue Waterfall are a municipal-level key cultural relics protection unit.
