There is a Five Rites Monument in Daming, Hebei Province. Is it the highest and largest monument in China? Why do you want to erect a monument?

At present, there is a strange stone with a long history in the Stone Carving Museum three kilometers east of daming county. After thousands of years of extreme weather corrosion, such as wind, frost, rain and snow, it is still intact and the handwriting is clearly visible. Its name is Wuli Monument. The stone tablet is a dolomite structure with a huge shape, which is nearly 12 m high, about 3 m wide, more than 1 m thick and weighs about 140 tons. The monument consists of four parts from bottom to top: foundation, tortoise shell, monument body and inscription.

According to the qualification certificate of authoritative experts with relevant scientific research qualifications, it is the largest preserved and largest stone tablet in China at present. In April of the third year of Ming Wenjian, the Yellow River burst, causing a flood disaster in the naming area. The flood flooded the famous city, washed down the Five Rites Monument and buried it underground. In the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, Gu Yuzhu, the county magistrate, learned that the monument had fallen to the ground and excavated it, so that the ancient monument finally came to light. But at this time, the stone tablet has been broken into nine sections, and the glans of the stone tablet seat is also missing. Until 1986, Hebei Provincial Precious Cultural Relics Management Office sent experts and professors to investigate the name on the spot, and it took three years to dismantle the new site of Wulibei. With the close cooperation of many authoritative experts from the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau and relevant personnel from daming county, the monument was demolished.

In the bonding and erection project, the re-chiseled penis glans is bonded to the base, and the Five Rites Monument reproduces its charm. The Five Rites Monument was originally a monument of the Tang Dynasty, which was established in the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Liu Gongquan, a famous calligrapher, was ordered by Tang Wenzong to inscribe the Monument of Virtue and Politics for He Jintao, the secretariat. Later, in the second year of the Song Dynasty (1 108), the Song Dynasty planned to revise the Five Rites and New Instruments, and the imperial edict called Liang to erect a monument for the Five Rites and New Instruments. In order to please Song, Liang destroyed the tombstone of He Jintao's Dezheng Monument.

Because of its stone, the tombstone was changed to "Imperial Five Rites Tombstone". There are eight flying dragons carved on the head of the monument, and in the middle of the sun is the "Five Rites of Cui Cui" inscribed by Song Dynasty, commonly known as the "Five Rites Monument". The monument was engraved in the shadow of the Tang Dynasty after two periods, namely the Tang Dynasty Monument. When Liang grinded the tablet, it was probably because the tablet building was built, and the words written by Liu Gongquan on both sides were preserved. What is left is the handwriting, and you can still distinguish the magnificent and beautiful Liu body design style. The calligraphy art and stone carving art of Wuli stele have extremely high research value of precious cultural relics and calligraphy art, and are the classics of stone carving plastic arts.
