Four-Sided Peak

Four-Sided Peak is Mountain Tianmu's wonder of scenery, and is referred to as “the terrace of four-sided peak”. On top of the peak is a pavilion, “standing jade pavilion”. After the establishment of the Zen Temple of Shizi (Lion) Authentic Sect, the senior monk, Gaofeng, once sat in meditation here. Looking over from the peak, one can find himself facing deep valleys, sharp cliffs and overspread old trees at three sides. Looking at scenes further afar, one can catch a view of meandering mountains, seeming like thousands of horses galloping, in the background ofcroplands, villages and so on. Tianmu coiling pines grown in the crack of cliff hang over the sky in a way as eagle approaches the sea surface. This spot possesses six characteristics of “deep, remote, secluded, serene, amazing and beautiful”. In 1934, the famous artist, Xu Beihong, brought students of Chinese Fine Arts College to here to sketch painting. What is left is his treasury painting portraying a picture of “Tianmu Autumn Colors”.
