Tianmashan is famous for its cliff stone carvings, mostly in the Ming Dynasty, with clear handwriting, flying charm, vigorous and elegant brushwork and unique features, which is a rare historical relic. Behind the main hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the peaks stand tall, and the cliff stone carvings between these peaks are clearly visible.
The first group: "tianmashan", signed: "john young Zhang Jue inscribed by Qi Jiguang in Dingyuan".
The second group: A glimpse of the mountains and rivers, the first paragraph is Happy and auspicious day in November of the 11th year of Wanli, and the second paragraph is a letter from Huang Xiaogan, the deputy capital of Fuyang.
The third group: A Fantastic Sky, the previous paragraph is October in the 14th year of Wanli. The next paragraph is a letter from Fu Guang in Liaocheng.
The fourth group: "Take Beautiful Mountains and Rivers", signed as "Zhang Ren, a guerrilla general in Wanli Xinmao, took his troops into Shanhaiguan * * * Lintong, a lieutenant officer, and asked for leave to visit tianmashan to see places of interest and comment on ancient and modern issues".
The fifth group: "the sea is in sight" is the farthest, and it needs to climb to "the swallow turns over". Here, the boulder is rugged and there is a crack in the middle. Only one person can pass through the gap. You can bend over sideways, and then you can see "the sea is in sight". Because of the age, these stone carvings have been eroded by wind and rain, and no protective measures have been taken. In addition, the handwriting is the same as the background color of the rock, and there is no color contrast. Therefore, the characters on these cliff carvings can basically be clearly identified, but the handwriting on the upper and lower paragraphs has become illegible. The words "Zhang Chenshu in Guanzhong, Xie Yi carved in Shanggu" in the previous paragraph "October 14th of Wanli" and the next paragraph "Haitian is in sight" are confusing, so it is impossible to identify them accurately, and the specific contents cannot be known by on-site inspection, so we have to consult relevant materials.
