Introduction to the Monument of the Righteous Voice: There is a stone tablet 357 steps away from the top of the ridge, with the words "The Righteous Voice Carrying the Tao" written on it. The monument is 190 cm high, 80 cm wide and 15 cm thick. It is made of granite. In 1911, Wang Tang, a 68-year-old villager in Maodi Junzhu Village, saw that the ancient road was in disrepair and was difficult to walk, so he raised donations and led his craftsmen to spend ten years surveying and designing, cutting rock and walls, and paving stone steps. In 1920, it was completed Three thousand eight hundred ridges were renovated. After reconstruction, the height of each stone step in the 3800 Kan has been reduced to 15 centimeters (except for the section near the top of the mountain which is higher due to the steep terrain). There are 5536 steps in total. Each stone step is nearly two meters wide and is paved with one or two stone strips. Complete, neat and beautiful, easy to walk. After Wang Tangxuan's philanthropic deeds spread, famous people in Nanping wrote letters asking for recognition of his achievements. In 1923, Sa Zhenbing, then governor of Fujian, came here for an inspection. After hearing the news, he wrote an inscription to commend Wang Tangxuan and wrote this monument.
