The Yi He Ming was originally carved on a cliff face at the western foot of Jiaoshan in Zhenjiang, a place long known as a “mountain of calligraphy.” It later collapsed into the Yangtze River after being struck by lightning. During the Chunxi period of the Southern Song dynasty, it first emerged from the water and was recovered and re-erected at its original site, but several decades later it fell into the river again. It was not retrieved until the fifty-second year of the Kangxi reign in the Qing dynasty (1713 CE). More than ninety characters survived, and the inscription was later moved to Guanyin Nunnery on Jiaoshan. Its calligraphy is broad and spacious, with traces of ancient clerical script. Although the strokes and edges are weathered, its brilliance remains clear. The writing is crisp in movement and expansive in spirit, with brushwork subtly connected to seal-script structure. Its lines are strong, weighty, and filled with a deep rhythmic quality.
