The story I heard today from a tour guide said that in the past, since the time of Qin Dynasty, when there was political instability in the country, scholars would bring scrolls of literature and hid them in the mountains for safe keeping. Often times when there are changes in the government the first that would seem to go would be the books and the scholars. IT is believed by many that there are still lots of treasures of anything that was ever written in China hidden in these mountains.
