After visiting Qingyin Pavilion, one of the eight temples of Emei Mountain, head west along the Heilongjiang River. The mountain path winds along both sides of the river. Near Qingyin Pavilion, there is a large cliff carving on the mountain cliff. This magnificent and exquisitely carved cliff carving is the "Kangxi Mountain Tour Cliff Carving." In front of the cliff carving, there is a stone tablet that reveals the origin of the carving.
"The emperor, who rules the world, respects heaven, earth, parents, and teachers. Kangxi, in search of his father who had become a monk, traveled incognito to Emei Mountain. He was inspired by the men and women working in the fields, the beautiful scenery, and the transcendent Buddhist music along the way. He inscribed the words 'Forget Worldly Worries' on the cliff. Minister Ge Haqi, first-class guard Hai Qing, Qianqingmen head guard Wu Ge, and Ministry of War official De Qinei were ordered to offer incense at Emei Mountain, present scriptures, and reward Qingyin Pavilion with Buddhist instruments."
