千年古村上甘棠石刻《先贤嘉言事亲碑》和《慈悲佛母他字歌碑》二碑碑文蕴涵着极为丰富的儒、释、道传统文化内涵,它们用极其通俗易懂的文字,浓缩表达了儒、释、道三家道德文化的精华;其地理位置处在江永通向广西桂林八步地区的古代驿路之上,是清代社会民间德化教育'化民成俗''无地不教'的一个缩影,对于我们今天构建和谐社会、淳化风俗人心,仍然具有借鉴作用。

The two stone tablets Maxims of Ancient Sages and Song of Benevolent Buddha have very rich traditional cultural content of Confucianism,Buddhism and Taoism.They express the essence of Confucian,Buddhist and Taoist moral culture through the use of simple and easy-to-understand words.The location of these two tablets,along the ancient post road from Jiangyong County to Guilin of Guangxi Province,reflects the moral education of the Qing Dynasty of"making norms a custom"and"preaching everywhere".It still has reference values for the present society when we need to build a harmonious society and purify people's mind.
