Tour Introduction

As a carrier of Chinese culture, stone tablets record the details of Chinese history, the trajectory of human life, and the evolution of Chinese characters from complex to simple, and from practical to aesthetically pleasing over thousands of years. Therefore, "looking at the tablets" allows us to understand the history of Chinese characters over thousands of years and appreciate the precious original works of famous calligraphers throughout history, while "listening to the tablets" allows us to learn from the moving stories of the ancients. Whether it is the diligent practice of eminent monks or the open-minded and carefree life of literati, they are all worth savoring.
