Introduction to Sanfo Rock: Three Buddha Rock is the most famous landscape in Gujian Mountain. Three Tathagata Buddha statues of different shapes are engraved on the stone wall. The Tathagata Buddha has a smiling face and bright eyes. The four characters "Ancient Sword Famous Mountain" are engraved on the top of the rock. They were written by Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. Craftsmen carved them out. The sword obtained when the foundation of Jingyin Temple was rebuilt was also hung next to the inscription. As a sword to guard the temple, the ancient sword was lost during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty and its whereabouts are still unknown. On these cliffs, there are still many cliff inscriptions written by literati. However, due to the age, most of them have been blurred. In one place, the words "Twelve Months of Gengxu in the Eighth Year of Yongzheng" can be clearly recognized. .
