According to museum curator Liu Hong, all the aforementioned poems written by Du can be found on stone in the Flower-bathing Brook Park and the Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum.

Most of the tablets in the Thousand-Poem Tablet Project are made of Jiaxiang bluestone, quarried from a county in Shandong province known as the home of Chinese bluestone.

Engravers from Sichuan, Fujian, Shan-dong, Jiangsu and Shaanxi provinces competed to participate in the project. After strict appraisal, nearly 100 were chosen, Liu Hong says.

His museum provides an ideal vista all year round, for it abounds in lush forests and flowers in all four seasons.
