Chen Ziang’s reading desk is located on Jinhua Mountain, 23 kilometers north of Shehong County. It was the place where Chen Ziang, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, studied in his youth. It was originally called Reading Hall, or Chen Gong School. Its former site is behind the Jinhua Mountain Ancient Temple and in the area of ??the present Zushi Palace. During the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty, Dongchuan Jiedushi Xianyu Shuming once erected a Jingde monument for Chen Ziang in front of the reading hall. After the mid-Tang Dynasty, the political situation was chaotic and wars were frequent, resulting in the decline of schools. During the Jiayu period of the Song Dynasty, Pang Ziming was ordered to build a collection pavilion at the site. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Shiyi Pavilion was destroyed. Lian Chengwu Xiao built a statue in the old infrastructure house and erected the Mingyuan Pavilion beside it. During the Chenghua period, the county magistrate Guo Boring established the Yuting Pavilion. By the early Qing Dynasty, all the above-mentioned buildings had collapsed. In the fifty-first year of Kangxi's reign, the county magistrate Tang Linxiang built a large hall in the old school site and placed a plaque for the ancient reading desk. From the eighth to the eleventh year of Daoguang's reign, the city magistrate Qian Bingde and Wang Shu moved the reading desk to Wugang Mountain behind the mountain. In the sixth year of Guangxu (1880), the county magistrate Wen Fang and others donated money and solicited funds, demolished the short walls, removed the bushes, and built three new halls in front of the pavilion, with winding corridors and sills on the wings, and an external corridor gate and pavilion. On the right side of the pavilion, there are three jingshes. In the middle, land is opened behind the pavilion to build three more halls, and the Yunshan Pavilion is planned to be built in the front, surrounded by verandas and covered with walls. Finally, a large lotus leaf pavilion is built, with a lotus leaf pavilion built in the front, and three boathouses are built in the front to cover the waves. , a small pavilion, has begun to take shape. Since then, it has basically remained in its original state, with minor additions.

There are many pairs of plaques in the ancient reading desk, most of which are handwritings of famous ancient and modern figures. His woodcuts "Thirty Poems on Encounters" and "A Biography of Mr. Chen Boyu" are important cultural relics, and there are also rare Chen-related documents and materials displayed in Liuyunxian Museum.

The stone carvings of Du Fu's poems

The stone carvings of Du Fu's poems are stored on the stone watch outside the Guanshan Gate of Jinhua Mountain. There are two Huabiaos on the left and right, about 5 meters high. The square cylinder has a cirrus-like pattern, a square base underneath, and an engraved cone top, which is exquisitely carved. The inner side of the right Huabiao is engraved with the handwriting of Du Fu's poem "Winter Arrives at Jinhua Mountain Viewing the Relics of Chen Gong's School", and the outer side is engraved with Du Fu's handwriting of "Spring View"; the inner side of the left Huabiao is engraved with Chen Zi'ang's "Spring Day Climbing Jinhua View". The poem is engraved on the outside by Chen Ziang's poem "Rewarding Master Hui for Seeing the Forest and Spring in Summer". The poem stele was destroyed during the "Cultural Revolution" in 1966, and a few fragments remain. Today, they are replicated in white marble and erected in their original places.

Volume 3134 of "Yongle Dadian" records that in the third year of Guangqi's reign (887), the poet Niu Qiao went to Sichuan and went to Jinhua Mountain. On September 26, he wrote "Dengchen Collected Scripts and a View of Du Gongbu" There is a poem in which "Stepping out of the western suburbs of the county, climbing the cliffs...the north chamber leads to dangerous thresholds, and the Ministry of Industry once carved stones", which shows that Du Fu indeed left stone inscriptions in Shehong. The inscribed rubbings of Du's poems were written in thin, strong handwriting and vigorous writing. It was confirmed by historian Fan Wenlan and included in the fourth volume of "General History of China", and was also marked as "Du Fu's handwriting". The eighth issue of Hong Kong's "Shupu" magazine published in February 1976 contained the article "Du Fu and Calligraphy" by Mei Ehua, with the complete rubbings attached. It was also published in the sixth issue of "Cultural Relics" magazine in 1962. It can be seen from this that the stone inscription of Chen Du's poems on Chen Zi'ang's reading desk in Jinhua is indeed Du Fu's handwriting.
