The Nanshan Scenic Area was in its heyday from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Ming Dynasty. After the Six Dynasties, literati and celebrities of all generations lived and toured here, leaving precious historical sites and famous works. Among them, in the Liang Dynasty, Crown Prince Zhaoming invited Liu Xie, the author of ‘Wen Xin Diao Long’, and other talents from all over the world. They compiled the first literary anthology in Chinese literary history, ‘Zhaoming Wenxuan’, in Zhaoyin Zenghua Pavilion.
The famous calligrapher and painter Mi Fu and his son Mi Youren of the Northern Song Dynasty lived here for forty years and created ‘Mi’s Yunshan’. Dai J, a sculptor and musician between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Liu Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, lived in seclusion in Zhaoyin Mountain and composed three ancient tunes: ‘Guangling’, ‘Youxian’, and ‘Zhixi’. The great poet Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty left ‘Sugong Bamboo Courtyard’ in Helin Temple, and the ‘Uncle Mao’s Lotus Pond’ by the philosopher and writer Zhou Dunyi.
