春秋时期，孔子登临此山以观东海，人们为了纪念他，就将此山更名为孔望山。在这座山上，既有儒教创始人孔老夫子大驾光临的足迹，又有佛教在中国最早的石窟，上面刻着释迦牟尼涅盘的庄严场面，更有道教西王母高高在上俯瞰众生的雕像。

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius climbed this mountain to view the East China Sea. People renamed this mountain as Kongwang Moutain in commemoration of him. On the mountain, there is footprint of Confucius, the earliest Buddhist Cliff Sculpture of China, which presents the picture of Sakyamuni’s nirvana, and even the statue of Taoist queen mother overlooking all the living things.
