Introduction to the Lingtai Stele Gallery: The original "Lingtai" was destroyed in 1927 and rebuilt in 1934. In 1933, the then county magistrate Zhang Dongye and Longdong Pacification Commander Yang Ziheng re-initiated the construction of the Lingtai and invited dignitaries of the Kuomintang to inscribe inscriptions. After the completion of the platform, cranes circled the platform for three days and finally settled on an ancient cypress on one side. To commemorate this scenic spot, people built the "Crane Pavilion" next to the ancient cypress. However, after the "Lingtai" was destroyed in 1966, the scenic view of the cranes circling the platform also disappeared. The existing "Lingtai" was rebuilt in 1985. The reconstructed Lingtai is divided into upper and lower courtyards. The lower courtyard contains the main building of the Lingtai "Tiandai for the Worship of King Wen" and the stele gallery of the Lingtai. The rooftop is 36 meters high, with a pavilion built above it. Inside is a statue of King Wen, and outside are inlaid steles originally inscribed by Kuomintang officials Lin Sen, Yang Hucheng and others. In the stele corridor, there are more than 100 inscriptions by celebrities from the Republic of China and modern times, which are very precious.
