The splendor of Yandang (North Yandang) started to be known in the early Tang Dynasty (618-907). It enjoyed even greater fame after the first year (976) of the Taiping Xingguo reign in the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), when many temples, pavilions, and other buildings were established there. There were 18 ancient temples, 16 pavilions and 10 yards at that time. By the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), hundreds of grotesque peaks had got their names. Through ages after the Tang and Song dynasties, scholars traveled there and and contributed lots of poems, paintings and calligraphic works, stone carvings, making Yandang Mountain a great historical scenic spot.
