A long, long time ago, there was no stone road in Xinhui Guifeng Mountain, and the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk. At that time, there was a craze for the construction of pavilions and torii around Yutai Temple, and an easy-to-follow mountain path was needed. According to the record of the "Ming Xifang Inscription" near Yutai Temple, it is said that it was the year of Bingzi, that is, in 1936, and the gentlemen of Benyi advocated building roads to decorate the pavilion.
Here it is necessary to first talk about "Ming Xifang". The Ming Xifang seen now is the archway near the Guanyin Statue Square on the cement road around the mountain, and the two sides are engraved with "Ming Xifang" and "the first peak of Gangzhou" respectively. Actually, it was rebuilt ex situ. The original old Ming Xifang is in front of Yutai Temple, and the location is probably near the current Yutai Temple archway.
Speaking of which, several torii arches have a chain of relationships. The position in front of Yutai Temple, a long, long time ago, was originally called Nantianmen, this Nantianmen had before the Ming Dynasty, and then the "old Ming Xifang" was built on the site of "Nantianmen", and this location has now evolved into "Yutai Temple Archway". Later, the "Xinming Xifang Archway" was rebuilt near the Guanyin statue on the Huanshan Road above the current Yutai Temple.
In order to facilitate mountaineering, there was a person from Xinhui Lu Village at that time, that is, Daze Village, Daze Town, today, who funded the construction of the "Old Ming Xifang" at the same time, and also built a mountaineering road, named "Gongzhi Road". Mr. Lu Yueqiao, who invested in Gongzhi Road, was the chairman of the Chongshan Association at that time. In the "Ming Xifang Inscription", it is said that "Qiao Zhi is diligent and thrifty, and treats people loyally", "social good deeds know everything", "benevolence to the public is very good".
Follow the stone path to the Cho'an Pavilion and choose the fork on the left. Climb to the left-hand side where you are close to the rocky water, and then look at the stone path and look in the right-hand direction, and you will see an old concrete stone staircase covered with fallen leaves. The old concrete stone steps intersect with the stone path underfoot.
This old concrete stone staircase is the "Gongzhi Road". Looking up, you can see that there is a stele on the straight road next to it.
Inscription: "Gongzhi Road (Wu Yin Year He Pan Chu Shu) Guifeng is a Wuyi resort, since the establishment of the Scenery Promotion Association, the pavilion is built to add color to the famous mountain, one after another. Yu because of the construction of the Ming tin fang in the half of the mountain, in order to embellish the scenic spots, for the first king father to commemorate, the workshop becomes, with the mountain road rugged, not easy to climb, Yu is to divide the work of the people to level the hazel reckless, build the road, so that pedestrians.
