History and Humanities

Wuxi cliff carvings are located in Wuxi park at the south end of Xiangjiang bridge in the southwest of Qiyang County (Wuxi town), Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. It is more than 50 kilometers away from Yongzhou City. Cangya cliff, which is close to Xiangjiang River, is majestic and abrupt, stretching for 78 meters. The highest place is more than 30 meters. It is a natural place for inscriptions on cliffs. Therefore, Wuxi open-air cliff is the first cliff in southern China and a bright cultural pearl in China. Wuxi cliff poetry and calligraphy, broad and profound, with rich cultural connotation, lasted for thousands of years, famous at home and abroad.

Yuan Jie, an outstanding essayist and poet in Tang Dynasty, was appointed governor of Daozhou in the first year of Guangde (763 AD). In the first year of Yongtai (765), he left office. The next year, he was appointed governor of Daozhou. In February of the second year of Dali (767), he returned to Daozhou from the governor's office of Tanzhou. The boat blocked the water through Qiyang and landed on the shore. Because of the seclusion of this place, a famous stream of Yuan Dynasty was named "Suxi", which "converged in Hunan Province in the north". It was intended to be "unique to me" and "Suxi Ming" was written. The name of Suxi began from then on. Yuan Jie named the "strange stone" more than 20 feet northeast of Wuxi "Wutai" and wrote "Wutai Ming"; he also built a pavilion on the "strange stone" more than 60 feet high in Xikou and named it "Yuting" and wrote "Wuting Ming". After returning to office, he handed over the three inscriptions to the famous seal calligraphers Ji Kang, Qu Lingwen and Yuan Zi, who wrote them in Yuzhou seal, XuanZhen seal and Zhongding seal respectively, and carved them on the cliff of Wuxi. Since then, it has the name of "San Wu". These three steles all have high artistic value. In particular, the stele of Tang Tingming written by Yuan Zi, the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, is now listed as a first-class stone carving by the State Administration of cultural relics and regarded as a "national treasure".

In 771 of the sixth year of Dali, Yuanjie found out from the suitcase the old manuscript of Zhongxing song of the Tang Dynasty, which was written 10 years ago when he led his troops to guard Jiujiang to fight against Shi Siming's rebellion. He sent a special person to Linchuan to invite his good friend Yan Zhenqing to write a large amount of it, and carved it on the cliff in June of summer.

The tablet of Tang Dynasty ZTE song is the cream of the cliff. The cliff here is 120 square meters wide, the Zhongxing stele is 3.2 meters high and 3.3 meters wide, with a total area of 10.56 square meters. Book from the left, 21 lines, each line 20 empty, remove the space, a total of 332 words. Each word is about 15 cm in diameter. When Yan Zhenqing wrote his eulogy, his writing was more and more vigorous and magnificent, his words were just and majestic, his bearing was magnificent, his spirit was intrinsic, and his lines were full of fortitude, which made Zhongxing stele a proud pen of Lu Gong's life, known as the "masterpiece of the universe", and made posterity "unable to rest". When Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty saw the rubbings, he regarded them as "the arched wall of heaven". Such people, such writings and such calligraphy are concentrated in Wuxi. This is the great love of history for Wuxi. In addition, the carved cliff stands near the river, like an axe, "the earth opens up to the sky, and its writing is independent; the mountain is high and the water is large, and this stone is not polished." Because of its unique culture, unique characters and unique stones, it is known as "three unique cliffs" all over the world. In order to protect the three Jue on the cliff, the "three Jue hall" has been built six times since 1053.

"Zhongxingsong" cliff is the core and essence of Wuxi. Over the past 1200 years after the song of Zhongxing, celebrities of all ages have been wandering around one after another, expressing their feelings by writing, reciting poems, writing Fu, carving stones on steles, carving jade and carving Qiong, making the mountain full of characters and poems without stones. In 1104, the eighth year of Xining reign of emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Huang Tingjian, a great poet and calligrapher, was banished from Ezhou to Yizhou. After passing through Wuxi River in the wind and rain, he was on the right side of Zhongmen stele with the title of a seven character poem and fourteen rhymes of Shumo cliff stele. Huang Yun's pen is round, vigorous and old, and its ancient style is luxuriant and clear, which is "deeply influenced by the charm of Orchid Pavilion" and calls itself "excellent poetry and wonderful ink". It is very rare that two of the four great calligraphers of the Ning Dynasty left calligraphy in Wuxi.

In 1862, he Shaoji, a famous calligrapher, toured Wuxi River and walked into the valley. He wrote the poem of praising the stele on the cliff and postscript it. It was published on the right side of the Yellow stele, with regular script and facial style. It is the most popular book in the world. In 1893, Wu Yuyu, a famous calligrapher and epigrapher, traveled to Wuxi in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. He read Zhongxing song and wrote long poems with the rhyme of Shangu poetry, which was engraved on the right side of he tablet. In regular script, calligraphy is beautiful. So far, the original works of generations of masters, such as Yan, MI, Huang, he and Wu, are arranged in one line, becoming a beautiful scenery of Wuxi. In addition to other masters' calligraphy, only on this 120 square meter cliff, it is famous for carving 95 square meters, which makes it a gathering place of fine calligraphy. The stars are bright and beautiful, forming a permanent Temple of poetry exhibition and book exhibition, which is unique in the world.

On the cliff 10 steps to the left of Zhongxing stele, there is a black marble mirror stone, which has been widely spread in the Song Dynasty. There are poems about mirror stone in all dynasties. There are also many legends about mirror stone. So that the common people "even if they don't know the word Wu hook, but also for rubbing stone mirror."

On the cliff above the mirror stone on the left side of the Zhongxing stele, there is an inscription with a diameter of 2.7 meters (there is no such character in the font, see the picture). It seems that the character is not a character, and it seems that the character is not a symbol, and people can't recognize it. Liu Gongchen, the poet of the Song Dynasty, specially left it as a special part of Wuxi cliff. The myths and legends caused by this have left a bit of mystery and added a kind of romantic sentiment to the Wuxi river.

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the song of precipice was related to the rock music and stone drum. Therefore, the famous officials, officials, literati, calligraphers and overseas personages of all dynasties never evade the danger of secluded roads and dream to come to Wuxi to visit and chant inscriptions. In terms of content, the outstanding stone inscriptions in the past dynasties are Zhongxing song of the Tang Dynasty, Zhongxing song of the Song Dynasty, Zhongxing song of the Ming Dynasty, laosanming of Yuanjie, and xinsanming of Wuda. In terms of typeface, regular script, cursive script, official script and seal script all have five styles. The biggest four characters of "shengshouwannian" are carved on the cliff, with the diameter of each character exceeding Zhang, and the smallest one is only as big as ant.

During the Anti Japanese war in modern times, the Japanese invaders trampled on the cliffs of Wuxi after thousands of years of wind and rain. In order to protect the Wuyi cliff, the county government set up the Wuyi cultural relics management office. In 1988, "Wuxi cliff carving" was announced as the third batch of key cultural relics protection units by the State Council. In 1994, the county government established the Wuxi cultural relics management office. Through the efforts of cultural relics workers, it is found that more than 300 people's stone inscriptions of poems, CI, calligraphy, paintings and inscriptions (including 505 living steles and remnant steles), including 30 in Tang Dynasty, 113 in Song Dynasty, 5 in Yuan Dynasty, 78 in Ming Dynasty, 88 in Qing Dynasty (including 5 poems of Annan Vietnamese envoys), 9 in Republic of China and 182 in unknown era, still exist from the second year of Dali in Tang Dynasty (767) to the ninth year of Republic of China (1920).
