In 2007, Shanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology conducted a survey to the Cliffside Carvings at Guajiashan Hill in Jixian County. The survey found that the carvings are densely distributed in a relatively small area and rather well preserved. The images are carved in high relief, bas-relief and linear carving methods and could be divided into five groups： Group Ⅰ has three niches and one inscription, Group Ⅱ, three niches and four inscriptions, Group Ⅲ, one niche and two inscriptions, Group Ⅳ, two niches and two inscriptions and Group V, two niches and two inscriptions. Inferred from the features of the extant images, the date of the Cliffside Carvings at Guajiashan Hill in Jixian County are from the Northern Qi to the Song and Jin Dynasties.
