This is a postscript of Qing Tuo, and the three words “Judge Qun Yan” have been damaged
The monument was erected in the second year of Wei Jingyuan in the Three Kingdoms (261). Its official script is strictly organized and cut off with a pen. According to Yunlong’s “Ding An Inscription and Postscript”, “the official script is entrusted to the source of official script, and the style of Wei and Qi is opened up”. It is said that when the stele was first unearthed, half of it had not been carved, and the Zhu script was brilliant. However, because it was not protected, the character of the calligraphy pill soon disappeared. It proves that the Han and Wei steles were engraved first with calligraphy and then with characters. The monument is now in Luoyang Ancient Art Museum, Henan Province
Huang Yi’s bibliography of small Penglai Pavilion. Huang Yi’s “Songluo Visiting Monument Diary” recorded: “On the 20th day of September, the first year of Jiaqing’s reign, the White Horse Temple was crossed. There were two concave steles, one was the stele of the King of Wei, and the other was the stele of the Emperor of Tang Di.” The postscript of Huang Yi’s “Songluo Visiting Monument Map – White Horse Temple” said: “Looking at the two concave steles outside the door, there were two concave steles of the King of Wei and the Emperor of Tang Di’s Mansion.” From this, we can see that the two concave steles of the broken stele of the King of Wei originally stood outside the White Horse Temple after being unearthed in Qianlong
