The stone carvings were unearthed in Baxian County, Sichuan Province in the Qing Dynasty in the second year of Liuxundi Festival of Emperor Xuandi of the Western Han Dynasty (68BC). In the eleventh year of Daoguang’s reign (1831), he was brought back to Huzhou by Qian An’s father and given to Tonghao. Later, it returned to Wu Chongguang’s house and was destroyed in 1860, the tenth year of Xianfeng. The original stone rubbings are rarely circulated, and some are lifelike
