Each calligraphy shines brilliantly, with characters as big as 6 meters long and as small as one inch square. It is full of truth, grass, official script, seal script and rare Mongolian stone carvings. Especially during the Great Revolution, Du Bincheng, Liu Zhidan and other teachers and students in Yulin Middle School wrote the inscription "Turn the tide", and General Ma Zhanshan, the national hero of the Anti-Japanese War, wrote the inscription "Give me back my rivers and mountains", expressing the great ambition of patriots to defend their country and revitalize China to the death. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, General Zuo's title "Yuxi Resort" and the couplet "Baiyun Chuqing is like the moon, and Huangtang is new and old" are also quite literary. Mr. Wang Senran, a famous educator, painter and Liu Zhidan teacher, wrote the word "Hongshixia" in his own handwriting, adding luster to the historic site. Appreciate it carefully all the way, filled with emotion: the rich and varied stone carvings in Hongshixia are worthy of being called the palace of calligraphy art in the Great Wall.
Dongya
On the east cliff of Hongshixia, there is an ancient temple in Song and Yuan Dynasties-Xiongshan Temple. The temple gate is in the south of the gorge, with stone steps inside. The temple is surrounded by mountains and waters, with eaves and walls, and pavilions are opposite. Yudou Temple is a cave carved on a cliff, with about a dozen caves. There are "Tianmen" and "Underground Gate", both of which are tunnels. "Tianmen" extends from the temple to the top of the canyon, and there is a pavilion named "Cui Ranting" in the middle. Climbing up the steps from the cliff, standing at the top of the gorge overlooking the Guangze Canal in the temple, I saw a picturesque water garden. The "underground gate" leads from the temple to the Yuxi river bank at the bottom of the canyon, and people have to bend over and walk when passing by. There are carved Buddha statues in the temple with exquisite craftsmanship. Purdue Bridge flying objects on both sides of the canyon are like rainbows. There are lush trees, flowers in full bloom, fresh water and pleasant scenery in the gorge. When the sun sets, such as Xia Hongran rises, hence the name "Sunset on Hongshan", which is one of the eight scenic spots in Yulin.
Mingguan frontier fortress
Hongshixia is a famous frontier fortress. Once upon a time, when civil servants, military commanders and Confucian scholars came to Yulin, they would all hold a banquet here to satirize and praise peace. Therefore, there are many stone inscriptions on the east and west stone walls. The size of stone inscriptions, inscriptions, steles and steles is as large as 160, just like a natural forest of steles. All the calligraphies shine brilliantly, with characters as big as 6 meters and as small as inch by inch, all of which are true, grass, official script, seal script and even rare Mongolian stone carvings. It's magnificent. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, General Zuo once wrote a pair of couplets entitled "White clouds are clear as the moon, and Huang and Tang Dynasties are independent". Mr. Wang Senran, a famous educator, painter and Liu Zhidan teacher, personally wrote the word "Hongshixia" on the pavilion, adding luster to the historic site.
According to statistics, there are as many as 200 kinds of inscriptions, stone tablets and various inscriptions in Hongshixia. More Mongolian inscriptions, a must. Although it has been eroded by wind and rain for a long time, its majestic posture has not declined for a long time, and it has always been regarded as a treasure house of calligraphy art in northern Shaanxi.
