The Hongding Mountain Cliff Carvings are a provincial cultural relics protection unit awaiting approval. It is located on Hongding Mountain in the northeast of Tuncunpu, Jiuxian County, Dongping County. The mountain is extremely dangerous, with two peaks facing each other, deep valleys, and towering ancient cypresses. The scriptures are engraved on the huge stone walls under the two peaks. The carvings are rich in content. In addition to Buddhist scriptures, sutra names, titles, and inscriptions, there are as many as 20 carvings with other contents, forming a huge group of carvings with a total area of ??nearly 1,400 square meters.
It is dazzling and magnificent, and can be called a "grand view".
There are mainly 4 pieces of engraved scriptures, roughly divided into north and south parts. The ones engraved with "Manjusri Prajna Paramita Sutra", "Renwang Sutra", "Mahayan Sutra" and "Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra" part or chapter. The diameter of the sutras is generally between 20 and 50 centimeters. All engravings are incised with a round bottom, except for a few double-hook line engravings. The calligraphy style is mostly official script, and some scholars have commented that it is "regular script with official script" or "official script with regular script". The two parts have different lettering styles. The text engraved on the north wall is larger, about 50 centimeters each. The style of the text is close to that of "Jing Shi Yu" in Mount Tai, but the font structure is tighter than "Jing Shi Yu", and it is more solemn and elegant; the text engraved on the south wall is smaller than that in the north. The wall is small, with the style of Han Dynasty, simple, thick, powerful and charming, with many changes in its square shape, very similar to the "Zhang Qian Monument". The original site of the "Zhang Qian Monument" is located in the north of Hongding Mountain, which shows the profound influence of the monument at that time.
The engravings of other contents vary in size, including horizontal and vertical styles, with various styles and full of interest. The most eye-catching one is the four characters "Great Sky King Buddha" on a smooth giant rock. The whole text is both solid and steady, and also powerful. Among them, the character "Buddha" is about 5 meters high, 4 meters wide, and the strokes are more than 20 centimeters wide. The whole character is made of big ups and downs, dignified and vigorous, and the last vertical stroke is in a "flying white" shape, which gives it a more "elegant and free" charm. Next to the big character, there are inscriptions such as Andao Yi's books and periodicals. There are three inscriptions of "Seng An Daoyi" in the front and back of the engraved scripture. An Daoyi is a famous monk in the Northern Qi Dynasty, "Excellent Calligrapher", and his name can be found in the cliff carvings of Tieshan and Jianshan in Zouxian County, our province. Examining the calligraphy of Hongdingshan, the calligraphy style is similar to the calligraphy of Tieshan and Jianshan in Zoucheng City. They both have the same name as Andao. It can be said that the sutras carved on the cliffs of Hongdingshan are of the same age as those of Tieshan and Jianshan. Comes from the same hand as An Daoyi. The rich content, superb carving skills, and complete preservation of the cliff inscriptions on Hongding Mountain occupy a certain position among the cliff inscriptions of the same era in China, comparable to the "Jingshiyu" in Mount Tai.
Hongding Mountain is also famous for its "Twin Peaks Competing Show". There is a spring at the upper source of the twin peaks. The spring water never dries up all year round. It flows through the "Diaoyu Platform", through the "Flying Stone", through several waterfalls, and into the "Pure Pool" below the inscribed scripture. Shanxi is adjacent to Dongping Lake, and the scenery of rippling blue waves and white sails is right before your eyes. This mountain, this spring and the flat lake form a beautiful landscape painting. The Hongding Mountain Carved Scripture is a bright pearl inlaid in this painting, constantly attracting more domestic and foreign tourists.
