Among the Qixingyan cliff carvings, Li Yong's Duanzhou shishiji is theoldest. The overall height of the stone carving is 1.07 meters and the width is0.79 meters. The text, together with the title and the inscription, has 18 linesand 386 characters. The date of the inscription is "the 25th day of the firstmonth of the 15th year of Kaiyuan (720__). Because there is a horseshoe shapedmark on the left of the stone carving center, it is also called horseshoe stele.The horseshoe shaped mark was first seen in the early Song Dynasty. By the endof the Qing Dynasty, 319 characters can be seen in the stone , 273 characters can be seen clearly, including 31 fuzzy butrecognizable characters. There are 304 characters. After Li Yong, all theliterati who visited Qixingyan liked to write poems, inscriptions and paintingson the cliff to express their feelings. Among the 523 stone inscriptions, thereare four in the Tang Dynasty, 80 in the Song Dynasty, 13 in the Yuan Dynasty,146 in the Ming Dynasty, 117 in the Qing Dynasty, 10 in the Republic of China,109 in modern times, and 44 in ominous times. Most of these stone inscriptionsare distributed in shishiyan, yupingyan and apoyan, especially shishiyan. Thereare 333 inscriptions, accounting for 63.6% of the total Qixingyan cliffinscriptions.

They record the geographical environment,changes of mountains and rivers, historical events, religious beliefs, templebuildings, rocks, water and soil, and changes of dynasties of Zhaoqing.Therefore, the Guangdong Provincial People's Government listed them asprovincial cultural relics protection units as early as l962.
Li Beihai stele Pavilion, located on the left side of the entrance ofShishi cave, contains the inscription of Li Yong, a famous writer in the 15thyear of Kaiyuan in Tang Dynasty. Only Yuelu stele and Duanzhou Shishi Ji inHunan Province are left, and the latter is the only official stele of Li Yong.The calligraphy of Duanzhou shishiji is not only rigorous and dignified instructure, smooth and upright in use, fresh and vigorous in writing, but alsoprogressive in content. He denounced the vanity of fairyland, praised thebeautiful scenery of natural landscape, and left a valuable reference for futuregenerations in art. There were 380 words in the early Qing Dynasty, 319 words inthe late Qing Dynasty, and now only 304 words are clearly distinguishable. Inorder to protect this monument, Li Leifu donated a monument Pavilion in the 27thyear of the Republic of China. In 1962, the government allocated money to buildadditional tile roofs and repair them. Later, a concrete column and ironrailings were added in front of the stele to avoid man-made damage. However,because there was an old mark on the stele with a small hole in the mark,visitors often reached out from the iron railings and tossed coins into thesmall hole, so the mark of the horse's hoof became smoother and smoother. Peopleusually call this stele "horse's hoof stele".

Shuiyuegong, located at the south foot of shishiyan in the Central Districtof Xinghu, Zhaoqing City, is close to Songtai in the north and faces Honglianlake. It was once famous for its 6-meter-high and 7-ton-heavy bronze statue ofBuddha, morizhitian, in Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia. Shuiyue palace wasoriginally Guanyin hall, built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty(1522-1566), but "the frequent years were broken by the wind and rain", andlater the officials and the people were "happy to pursue things", so in thewinter of the second year of Wanli (1574), it "opened up a broad and elevatedarea, strengthened the site and spread the foundation". It is said that Guanyincan show 32 different hues, among which the hue of "Shuiyue" is the most noble,because it is called "Shuiyue Palace". After the palace was built, it was brokenby wind and rain. In 1636, Xiong Wencan, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi,spent more than 100000 yuan on reconstruction. In 1943, the Moon Palace wasdestroyed by Japanese air raids. In 1957, the water Moon Palace was rebuilt asit was. Shuiyue palace covers an area of 6000 square meters, with a constructionarea of 2500 square meters. It is a reinforced concrete antique hall structure,which is composed of four parts: the main hall, the East chamber, the westchamber and the back chamber: the main hall, with cornices and brackets,colorful glaze, gorgeous and magnificent; the East and West chambers, beautifuland simple, spacious and bright, are connected by corridors; the East and Westchambers are connected by corridors; The back hall, a two-story Pavilion, isbuilt on a high platform according to the rock, which is particularly majesticand majestic. In the main hall of Shuiyue palace, there used to be a Buddha (6meters tall) and his two daughters (5 meters tall), standing tall and barefoot.The Buddha's eyes looked down slightly, smiling, warm and kind, and the name of"the sea of bitterness and mercy" was on the list. The statue of Buddha was castin 1636, the ninth year of Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, in recognitionof Zheng Zhilong's victory over Liu Xiang under the protection of the morizhiGod. It is a pity that all the original castings have been destroyed in theflames of the "Cultural Revolution". Now we can see that the second daughter ofTiankai is a replica cast in 1986. The water Moon Palace is surrounded by redwalls. In front of the main hall inside the wall, there is a courtyard stylegarden, which is full of flowers in four seasons. In front of the gate outsidethe wall, there are six banyan trees with a hundred years old, which areintertwined and luxuriant in branches and leaves.

大家都看到山门檐下的“水月宫”三个字吧，宫名为“水月”，一说岩下本有一座观音堂，供奉着水月观音；一说取“水月双清”之义。
水月宫始建于明嘉靖年间，万历三年重修扩建，后废，崇祯九年又重建，并铸造铜像。1985年春由国家拨款重建。
水月宫占地6000平方米，红墙黄瓦，采用了中国传统沿中轴线布局的院落式格局。
大殿里特设供奉“摩利支天”。所谓“天”，实际上是神的异名。佛教说共有二十天，他们本是印度神话中惩恶护善的二十位天神，佛教沿用其说，把他们作为护持佛法的神。我国许多寺庙的大殿内两侧都塑有二十诸天神像，但像这里这样把摩利支作为主神而专祀，在国内倒是罕见的。
摩利支是梵文的音译，意译为“阳焰”、“威光”、据《摩利支天经》说，她常常行走在日神跟前，但有隐形法，使日神看不见她。所以在古代，摩利支天是武士崇信的偶像。明朝两广总督熊文灿设殿专祀她，据说就是因为他派遣两广总兵郑芝龙(郑成功之父)在征剿刘香的海战中，得到摩利支天现形助战而大获全胜之故。
大家现在看到的这尊摩利支天铜像，是1986年重铸的，高5米，重6吨。她旁边两位是天女。是改革开放的春风，使摩利支天菩萨得以重铸金身。

像初唐其它散文一样，这篇文章仍沿袭汉魏六朝赋体骈文的句式，读起来抑扬顿挫，朗朗上口。可惜由于年代久远，有些文字已残缺难辨了。宋朝时，这里又多了个马蹄形的损痕，所以后人又称它为“马蹄碑”。
这篇《端州石室记》的价值，在于它是七星岩现存摩崖石刻中年代最早的一篇，刻于唐代开元十五年(727年)，距今已有1200多年了。还在于它的作者“文名满天下”！连李白和杜甫都崇拜和颂扬他。更在于它精湛的书法艺术，开一代书风，印证了初唐疏朗瘦劲书风向盛唐丰厚磅礴书风的转变。
唐代在这里题刻的名人还有稍后的李绅。李绅，他是中唐时期的有名诗人。对于他大家可能不大熟悉，但他有两首古风，倒是家喻户晓的——“锄禾日当午，汗滴禾下土。谁知盘中餐粒粒皆辛苦。”“春种一粒粟，秋收万颗籽。四海无闲田，农夫犹饿死。”此后，，宋代的清官包拯、《爱莲说》作者哲学家周敦颐，哲学家祖无择、诗人郭祥正、明代抗倭名将俞大猷(yóu)、“永历三忠”之一的陈子壮等，都留下题刻。至于清代的石刻更不胜枚举了。
所以，20__年这条“千年诗廊”被列为全国重点文物保护单位。
