Many people left poems and songs for the ancients, and some poems said, "The pine and cypress make the afternoon cloudy, and the moss does not bury the ancients. Spinning around the river, it's raining. Cuiping is a country, and the city is full of beautiful colors. When I hear the fragrance of heaven, there is no place for fairies. " There is also a poem praising it: "The peak of the furnace is abrupt and the shadow is light, and there is a long stream under the peak. On the day I left the path, the frequency shifted and the trees smelled fragrant. White sand, bamboo, Qianpu, Bijian and Hongquan surround the stone. Whistling is not vulgar, and the heart is straight. "
