Calligraphy works created by Zhao Mengfu, a calligrapher in Yuan Dynasty. The paper book is now collected in Tokyo National Museum, Japan, and the stone carving based on it is located at the main entrance of Suzhou Xuanmiao Temple.
Xuanmiao Temple is a Taoist temple located in the bustling area of Suzhou ancient city, formerly known as Sanqing Temple. In the Yuan Dynasty, the royal edict was renamed and given a plaque. In order to celebrate this great event, the monks in the temple decided to renovate the temple. However, due to lack of funds, the three dilapidated temple gates can no longer be renovated. After the efforts of Taoist Yan and others, and the dedication of his wife Hu Miaoneng, the restoration was finally started in the 29th year of Zhiyuan (1292).
Because of the twists and turns in this matter, the Taoist priest in Shanhaiguan Pass decided to set up a monument in Shanhaiguan Pass to commemorate it, so he invited Mou Qiu, a scholar at that time, to write an article for it, and also invited Zhao Mengfu, a contemporary painter, to write an inscription and seal the amount. This piece of paper was written in order to copy stones.
The inscription is undated. Judging from the official position of "Ji Xian Zhi Bachelor, Chao Lie Doctor, and Promotion of Confucianism in Jiangsu and Zhejiang", when Zhao Mengfu was appointed to this position in the third year of Yuan Dade (1299). He has both title and position, so he should write this tablet.
