The inscriptions on precipices in the Drum Mountain were proclaimed as the fifth batch of the key cultural relics under the State preservation. They are scattered around Sprit-source Cave, Stone Gate, the 18 sights and other sights. There are 548 inscriptions carved since the Song Dynasty with all styles. The most famous ones are those written by Cai Xiang, Li gang, and Zhu Xi and others. The earliest ones are the inscriptions by Cai Xiang and other persons as their sightseeing notes carved in 1046, the sixth year of the reign of Qingli during the Song Dynasty, while the largest one is a character of "Shou" (longevity), which is 4 meters high. The majority of the inscriptions on precipices are well preserved and a number of them are cultural relics and treasures of poems, calligraphy and precipice carvings in our country.
