The Tombstone of Zheng Jixuan, carved in the second year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (185), is located in Jining Prefecture, Shandong Province (now Jining County, Shandong Province). Rubbings are 90.5 cm long and 110 cm horizontal. The official script has 18 lines, the first 15 lines are preface, 37 lines, the last 3 lines are inscription, and 35 lines. There are 8 characters in the seal script “The name of the old officials and officials of the Wei family” inscribed horizontally on the tablet. Others are difficult to identify due to peeling. In the 51st year of Qianlong’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1786), Weng Fanggang ordered Huang Yisheng to inscribe the tablet, so the tablet yang had more characters than before. The inscription of Huang Yi is engraved on the side, and only the number remains
