  "Long Pan Hu Wo (Coiled Dragon and Crouching Tiger)” was inscribed by Zheng Shaozeng on the cliff to the left of the road leading to Jinshiyan Temple. Zheng Shaozeng was a Jinshi (advanced scholar) during the Jiaqing era of the Qing dynasty. His birth and death years are unknown, but he lived around the Qianlong and Jiaqing eras of the Qing dynasty and was from Ningzhou (now Ningming County, Guangxi). He served as the county magistrate of Longmen, Conghua, and Renhua in Guangdong. He authored the "Poetry Manuscripts of Haitang Studio" in four volumes, which has been lost. "Collected Poems of Ningming Elders" includes more than forty of his poems, most of which describe his official life and express his diligence and love for the people.
