秦始皇焚书坑儒的年代，山野林深的张家界是文人避难藏书的净土。观景台前方峰垭中的百米石柱，酷似一位探身伸手的秀才，正将手中之书藏时峭壁深处。

During the time when the Emperor Qinshihuang burned books and buried the literates in pits, Zhangjiajie, with dense forestry, was a haven for the literates to avoid the hazard. The stelae( about one hundred meters high )among the peaks are just like a skillful writer, who is leaning out and hiding his books into the barranca.
