It was written by Yan Song, a great scholar of Wuyingge in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. This theory can be found in Guan Yu's History of Anti-Japanese War published by 1933. There is a plaque inscribed by Yan Song in the Ming Dynasty, each word 1.7 meters square, which has been hidden in Kuixing Building in the southeast corner of Guancheng. When the Japanese invaded Shanhaiguan, they plundered it to Tokyo and put it on public display.
Judging from the old photos taken that year, the word "No" on the plaque was written "Bamboo". But the word "no" on the existing plaque in Shanhaiguan clearly says "grass" Inferred from this, it is likely that there are two original giant plaques inscribed by Xiao Xian and Yan Song respectively.
Extended data:
The story of Xiao Xian's inscription:
Linyi County Records compiled in Guangxu four years of Qing Dynasty. However, the word "legend" is added in front of the relevant records in the book, which is not sure. However, in local folklore, the story about Xiao Xian's tablet carving is vivid. It is said that after spending a lot of money, he asked someone to hang the giant monument on the tower. When he looked at it, he found that the word "Xia" was missing. What should I do?
Just then, the onlookers grabbed a piece of linen, kneaded it into a ball, dipped it in ink, and threw it up, just hitting the point, making the plaque more imposing. Although this is very interesting, whether a scholar can have such accurate eyesight and extraordinary arm strength can only be exaggerated and romantic in people's imagination.
