Writing cliff

Writing cliff

Ziziya, located one kilometer to the east of Shizui Town, Wutaishan City, Shanxi Province, has an old temple called "Shifo Temple", also known as "Chaoyang cave".

Beside the temple, there is a stone wall in the north and south, about six meters high and 25 meters long. Three vivid Buddha statues are carved in the middle of the cliff, about 0.6 meters to 0.8 meters high. On the stone wall on the west side of the Buddha statue, there are a lot of scattered, confused, different sizes of handwriting. If you wet it with clean water and wipe it with cotton cloth, you can see many crooked handwriting. If you look at it carefully, most of them are in the style of Zhuan and Li, and sometimes there are several digits, which can be connected into sentences. According to the local elders, on a square stone wall, you once saw the couplet of "three treasures of heaven, sun, moon and stars, three treasures of earth, water, fire and wind, and three treasures of human spirit". What's more interesting is that these handwriting are not faded by the sun, but cleaned by the water. One layer is removed, and another layer appears. There are different characters in each layer. It's really a wonder of the land of the Holy Spirit. What is the best way? Please study it.
