The inscription by General Ye is located in the western part of Xinghua Village, carved into the Xinghua Mountain. It was formed by a natural rock outcrop enhanced with artificial construction, standing approximately 20 meters tall. The southeast side of the outcrop features a steep cliff, while the northwest side is densely forested. The top of the outcrop is adorned with towering pine trees, and the lush greenery obscures the sheer, perilous cliffs. At the southern base of the outcrop lies the main thoroughfare leading to jingpo Mountain Villa and the Diaoshuilou Waterfall.
The inscription by Marshal Ye was penned in 1964 when Marshal Ye Jianying visited jingpo Lake and was inspired to write. In 1982, the renowned calligrapher Mr. Zhao Jiaxi came to the lake and respectfully transcribed Marshal Ye’s inscription: "A lake on the mountain, a mountain on the lake—the northern scenery surpasses that of the south." In 1985, the jingpo Lake Management Bureau had it carved in white characters on the eastern face of the rocky cliff, where the bold letters stand out vividly. On the southern face of the cliff is the inscription "jingpo Villa," written in 1983 by Comrade Chen Lei, then Governor of Heilongjiang Province, based on the name "jingpo Villa" given by Comrade Ouyang Qin, former First Secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee. The red characters on a white background are strikingly eye-catching. Both works exhibit vigorous brushstrokes, elegant poise, rich ink tones, and poetic charm. Visitors invariably stop here to take photos as mementos. A poem reads: "Green cliffs rise abruptly by the lake, Marshal Ye’s verses embedded on the wall. Verdant pines and blooming flowers add allure—capturing the scene surpasses seeking immortality."
(Dear visitors, the rocky bluff before us is Xinghua Mountain. It lies to the west of Xinghua Village. Formed of natural rock outcrops reinforced by man‑made work, it stands roughly 20 metres high. Inscriptions by Marshal Ye Jianying are carved onto its face. Its southeast side is a steep precipice, while its northwest side is covered in dense woods. Tall pine trees grow atop the bluff, and luxuriant foliage partly conceals its lofty, sheer cliff. At its southern foot runs the main thoroughfare leading to Jingpo Mountain Villa and Diaoshuilou Waterfall.
Marshal Ye’s inscription was composed in 1964 during his inspection tour of Jingpo Lake, when he wrote the verses on the spur of the moment. In 1982, the noted calligrapher Zhao Jiaxi visited the lake and faithfully transcribed Marshal Ye’s poem: “A flat lake rests amid mountains; mountains rise above the water. Northern landscapes rival those south of the Yangtze River.” In 1985, the Jingpo Lake Administration Bureau had this inscription embedded and carved on the eastern face of the bluff. Large white characters stand out vividly against the rock surface. Now look at the writing on its southern side. Dated to 1983, the four large Chinese characters “Jingpo Mountain Villa” were inscribed by Chen Lei, then‑Governor of Heilongjiang Province. The name was originally coined by Ouyang Qin, former First Secretary of the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee. The red characters set against a white background are highly eye‑catching. Let us admire these calligraphic works. Both pieces feature forceful brush strokes, elegant poise, expressive inkwork and rich poetic charm.
Every tourist who arrives here pauses to take souvenir photos. A poem reads:“Green crags rise steep beside the lake, Marshal Ye’s verse set in stony wake. Green pines and blooms adorn the scene, All seek snapshots, fairer than fairy dream.”)
