Xichen Cave

The Xichen Cave (literally showering cave) or Sun Bin Cave, lying on the right side of Shuilian Cave, was excavated in the Ming Dynasty with a three-room width. On both sides of the outlet of the cave stands one stone mast; in the cave six stone columns are arranged in two rows, on each of which are engraved couplets and some legendary figures. The cave gate is made of stone, looking simple and unsophisticated. In it there is a statue of Sun Bin with a solemn and dignified look.

Su Bin, military strategist in the Warring States Period, grandson of Sun Wu (a famed military strategist in that period), learned the art of war from Master Guigu in Mountain Yunmeng. He was at one time a military counselor for an emperor of Qi State and achieved great success in command of wars. Su Bin left us a book The Art of Wars which is very popular till now.
