Why does Kong Lin have the reputation of forest of steles?

There are many graves, stone tablets and stone ants in the forest. Besides the tombs and buildings of Confucius, Kong Li and Kong Ji, there are also the tombs of Kong Lingyi, Kong Yuqi, Kong Wenshao and Kong Renshang.

In addition to some famous Han Dynasty stone tablets being moved into Confucius Temple, there are inscriptions by great calligraphers of past dynasties such as Li Dongyang, Yan Song, Weng Fanggang, He Ji Shao and Kang Youwei, so they have the reputation of forest of steles and are a treasure house of calligraphy art.
