The origin of the monument

Since Cang Xie coined this word, the culture of China has been handed down. We speak different dialects, but look at the same four books and five classics. People from ancient times to the present, whenever there are important things, they like to record them on tortoise shells, bones, bronzes and stones with knives, which is long and grand. When we go out for sightseeing, we often see stone tablets in front of important buildings and record the reasons and process of their construction. However, the earliest monuments were not used for this purpose.

The early "monument" was a stone pillar tied with sacrificial animals. During the Warring States period, when the nobles were buried, they should put the coffin in a deep grave and use the "monument" as the support of the pulley tether. Therefore, the early monuments all had holes through which ropes were worn, which was called "monument piercing". After the funeral, people often leave stones in the cemetery. Gradually, in order to commemorate the dead, people carved words on stones and evolved into today's inscriptions.
