The Proterozoic Stone Forest in Ji County is located in Maojiayu, east of Ji County. The geological structure is the dolomite strata of the Yangzhuang Formation and the Wumishan Formation of the Middle and Upper Proterozoic 1.3-8 billion years ago. The naturally formed strange stone landscape is ingenious, like a dragon and a beast, and the creation is magical. Why is it named the Proterozoic Stone Forest? This is a name confirmed by geological age. The earth on which human beings depend for survival has a long history of 4.6 billion years from its formation to the present. In geological science, for the convenience of research, scientists divide the formation of the earth to the present into five geological ages, from ancient times to the present, namely the Archean, Proterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. The geological profile of Ji County was formed in the middle and late Proterozoic, so its strata are called the Middle and Upper Proterozoic. The rock strata here were formed in the Proterozoic, and the stone is peculiar, so it is named the Proterozoic Stone Forest. Maojiayu is surrounded by mountains in the southeast, northwest, and northeast, forming a closed space. It is a naturally formed natural "paradise". Peaceful and quiet. There is no noise, no pollution, and no interference from bad weather such as sandstorms and hail. It allows people to be in a highly quiet state anytime and anywhere, playing a health-care role of calming the mind and nourishing the spirit. In the Lover's Valley, there are lovers' caves, natural couple tents, lions welcoming guests, two tigers guarding the door, mandarin duck trees, mandarin duck fruits, mandarin duck pines, etc.

Interpretation from the perspective of Eastern philosophy: Yuangu Stone Forest Scenic Area In Eastern philosophy, natural landscapes are often regarded as the embodiment of the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements between heaven and earth, and the display of cosmic order and harmony. Yuangu Stone Forest Scenic Area, with its unique landforms and strange stones, shows the uncanny workmanship of nature. From the perspective of Taoism, every stone here is the condensation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and is the concrete manifestation of "Tao" in the material world. They have experienced millions of years of wind and rain erosion, witnessed the flow of time and the changes of nature, and embodied the philosophical thought of "ruling by doing nothing", that is, the laws of nature will achieve a balance and harmony without human intervention. From the perspective of Confucianism, the spectacular scene of Yuangu Stone Forest can inspire people's awe, make people feel the greatness of nature and the insignificance of human beings, and thus promote inner humility and harmony. At the same time, the natural beauty here also embodies the concept of "harmony between man and nature", that is, man and nature should live in harmony, respect each other, and jointly maintain the harmony and balance of the universe. Interpretation from the perspective of Western philosophy: Yuangu Qishilin Scenic Area In Western philosophy, natural landscapes are often seen as a window to understand the order of the universe and the meaning of human existence. From the perspective of ancient Greek philosophy, Yuangu Qishilin Scenic Area is an excellent object for natural philosophy research. The strange stones and landforms here can be regarded as a combination of "matter" and "form" in nature, and are the concrete embodiment of "material cause" and "form cause" in Aristotle's "Four Causes". The shape and texture of each stone are the result of the interaction between its internal form and the external environment, reflecting the complexity and diversity of nature. From Kant's perspective, the natural beauty of Yuangu Qishilin inspires human aesthetic emotions, which transcend practicality and utilitarianism and are the embodiment of human spiritual pursuit of freedom and infinity. Kant believes that the beauty of nature is purposeless purposiveness, that is, the beauty of nature does not exist for a certain purpose, but it itself can trigger human pursuit of beauty and awe of nature, thereby enhancing the spiritual realm of mankind. From an existentialist perspective, the natural landscape of Yuangu Stone Forest reminds us that humans are insignificant in the universe, but it is this insignificance that gives us the ability to freely choose and give meaning to life. Facing the magnificence of nature, humans can reflect on their own existence, explore the meaning of life, and achieve self-transcendence.
