Millennium Stone Carvings Found in Gansu Canyon:1How did the ancients carve on the cliff 800 years ago? Located at the foot of Tianjing Mountain in Gansu Province, Xia Yuqiao Cliff Stone Carving "The West Chamber" is such a little-known Millennium monument. Xisaosong Scenic Area is quiet and beautiful, with its back to the green hills, clear streams and waterfalls.
On the way, there are still traces of ancient narrow plank roads on the cliffs, but it is difficult for modern people to set foot on them. However, in the whole Yuqiao Gorge, there are many cliff carvings, the most famous of which is Romance of the West Chamber, which has a history of over 1800 years, including the inscription by the famous China painter Li Keran.
There are traces of the ancient narrow plank road in the Western Heaven on the cliff, and there is a stone tablet inscribed by Li Keran. Song of the West Narrow is one of the "three wonders" of China Han Li's calligraphy, and it is the best preserved treasure in ancient cliff stone carvings.
Because the stone carvings are located on cliffs and vines, there are few extensions of the spine in past dynasties. When they were found, they were almost intact. According to legend, this cliff stone carving was discovered by a woodcutter. Between the sky and the canyon, there are endless waves.
The significance of history
History is a witness to the rise and fall of a nation, and writing is only the carrier to record these ups and downs, and records the most brilliant chapter of human civilization. History is like a mirror, no matter right or wrong, it can give an objective and true evaluation. Therefore, Emperor Taizong once said: Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall.
History is the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient sages. In the eyes of westerners, China people are always mysterious, along with this land. As a native of China, I grew up in this rich land. I know that the medieval culture has a long and profound history, but it is not as mysterious as westerners say.
History is not just cold words written on paper. From the time when pen, ink, paper and inkstone were not discovered, and from the time when knotting notes was still very common, people remembered it. It has been handed down because every generation in China knows the value of history.
