Interpretation of Tanshan Stone Carvings

Tanshan is located in Zanhuang County, Hebei Province. There are four seal characters on the mountain wall, which are said to be the book of Zhou Muwang. The original stone carvings were chiseled away by Liu Zhuang during the reign of Emperor Song Youdi, and have been lost for a long time. Li Zhongyu's manuscript in the fifth year of Song You has also been lost, and it was reprinted in the Southern Song Dynasty. See Wang Chang's Collection of Inscriptions in Qing Dynasty, Volume III.
