Evaluation of History and Culture
With the temples traceable to Tang Dynasty, Mount Jianglang was firstly exploited in Jin Dynasty, emperors of all dynasties ever conferred inscriptions, tablets and titles upon this place. Famous for delicate and majestic appearance and the wonderful scene in wind and snow, this mount attracted numerous celebrities, including the notable prime ministers Yao Chong and Zhang Jiuling（张九龄） who ever wrote poetries to praise the mount; and the great poet Bai Juyi(白居易) wrote a poem to express his feeling about the mount that “I wish to have wings to fly in the mist and clouds forever”. Zhu Dongshan（朱东山）, a learned and lofty scholar from Jiangshan lived in the mount for a long time and established a school there to teach students.
Mount Jianglang was authorized as a National Key Scenic and Historic Interest Spot in 2002. The people’s government of Jiangshan City established “Interim Management Procedures on Scenic and Historic Interest Areas of Jiangshan City” in April, 2006 and implemented it. In addition, relevant department started to draft protection ordinance for Mount Jianglang landscape of Zhejiang province in March, 2007 to meet the demand of heritage conservation and application conditions of World Natural Heritage, which made protection procedures for Mount Jianglang more legalized and standardized.
Landscape and Natural Beauty
Jianglangshan scenic spot is famous for its grand stones with the shape of “爿”, so our local people called “the Sanpan Stone” （三爿石）directly. “The Sanpan Stone” stand forcefully on the middle of the mountain, which can be seen even out of several kilometers.
