According to records, stone carvings have been popular here since the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. 1952, the first batch of Han stone reliefs were unearthed, and Suide successively unearthed hundreds of Han stone reliefs. Compared with only a few stone reliefs in other places in China, there are not only a large number of stone reliefs in the Han Dynasty in Suide, but also a wide variety of stone carvings. Known as the stone history book, Suide masons have been famous since ancient times. To a large extent, it is due to a kind of stone here.
"There is a light blue sandstone in Suide County. Of course, people call it Shi Lan. This kind of stone is soft and fine, and it is good at carving. Suide stone carving was originally used to make some stone tools for daily use, and later it was used as a sacrifice in the ancestral temple. Later, Suide stone carving specialized in stone carving art. "
In Suide, stone carving is regarded as a man's art, which not only continues the tradition of stone carving in Suide. It also shows the intelligence of Suide people.
