Jingshi Valley

Climbing Mount Tai from Hongmen, Jingshiyu is a scenic spot after passing Doumu Palace. There are many cliff carvings here. There is also a legend about Jingshiyu. It is said that when Tang Monk and his disciples returned from the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures, all the scriptures fell into the river after the last difficulty. Sun Wukong fished out all the scriptures and spread them flat on stones to dry. Who knew that when the scriptures were uncovered, some of them were printed on the stones. This is the origin of Jingshiyu.

After entering Mount Tai from Hongmen, you can reach Jingshiyu, which is easy to miss. It would be a pity if you miss it. After entering, the view is very broad and the scale of development and construction is quite large. After walking along a set of steps, you can see the vigorous calligraphy on natural rice paper and the "high mountain and flowing water" on the stone wall.

The Diamond Sutra in Jingshiyu is located in Jingshiyu, northeast of Doumu Palace. It is the largest existing cliff carving of Buddhist scriptures in China.

The largest existing Buddhist scripture cliff stone in China, commonly known as the Sutra-drying Stone, was inscribed by Wan Gong during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty.
