There are 64 stone carvings in Elephant Trunk Mountain, including poems, lyrics, inscriptions, inscriptions, biographies, repair records, postscripts and works of celebrities, etc.
The two huge cliffs on the stone wall of Shuiyue Cave are Zhang Xiaoxiang's "Chaoyang Pavilion Records" and "Chaoyang Pavilion Poems" written in 1166, the second year of Qiandao in the Song Dynasty.
The main idea of ??the "Record" is that Zhang Xiaoxiang and his friends Zhang Wei and Zhu Yuanshun came to visit. Zhang Wei loved the mountains and rivers here and would never leave. The monk Liao Yuan understood his intentions and built a pavilion in front of the rock. After the pavilion was completed, Zhang Wei asked Zhang Xiaoxiang to name the pavilion when he came to visit again. Zhang Xiaoxiang remembered that they had built a pavilion during the Jiankang Revolution and named it "Chaoyang" to show that Zhang Wei's "study is enough for Fengming". In the Celestial Dynasty". So the new pavilion was still named with the word "Chaoyang", and Shuiyue Cave was also renamed Chaoyang Cave.
Zhang Xiaoxiang thought this was a commemorative event, so he engraved the poem "Chaoyang Pavilion" he wrote in Jiankang and the two Bu Yuan rhymes he later wrote in Guilin on " Next to Chaoyang Pavilion".
In 1173, Fan Chengda served as Guangxi's economic and strategic envoy. He believed that the name Shuiyue Cave had been passed down since ancient times and was very appropriate. The name of Chaoyang Cave had already existed in Yinshan Mountain and it should not be repeated. Shuiyue Cave should be restored. The name of the cave was specially engraved on the stone wall with the "Inscription of Fushuiyue Cave", and in the preface it was written: "It will not change after a hundred generations."
In Shuiyue Cave, there are also poems by Zhang Wei, Zhang Ziming, Zeng Hongzheng and others from the Song Dynasty, all of which are excellent works. In 1197, Du Sigong carved "Lu You's Poems", leaving behind Lu You's precious handwriting for future generations.
Zhang Maoliang's "Zhao Gong Dezheng Stele" in 1231 is a precious material for studying the historical figure Zhao Chongmo. Zhang Fu's "Inscription on Shuiyue Cave by Fan Zao and other five people", Chen Chou's "Inscription on Shuiyue Cave" by Zhuo Ai and "Inscription on Shuiyuedong by twenty-one people including Zhao Youfu" are all good calligraphy works.
