Introduction to the stone carvings of the Paramita Sutra in Yingfo Mountain: Located 800 meters east of Guanghua Temple, it is named Yingfo Mountain because the rock resembles many Buddhas chanting sutras. There is Yingfo Rock on the top of the mountain, 5.5 meters high. The carved stone is about 8 meters high and 5 meters wide, and looks like a giant Buddha sitting there. The sutra is engraved in official script, divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower, with a total of 131 characters and a character diameter of 40 cm. The book "Prajnaparamita Sutra Champion General Liang Fu County Magistrate Wang Zichun" has seventeen characters. The lower layer of the Prajnaparamita Sutra is readable. The first half is still readable, but the back part is mostly incomplete. The last book is "Made by the monks Qi Dazhong in the first year of Wuping". At the end, there are four characters "Vina Huiyou", which is what "Taishan Daoliji" calls the four-character analogy that cannot be read. The stone carvings have a dignified structure, simple brushwork and elegant charm, which have been highly praised by calligraphers of past dynasties.
