Qin Taishan stone carving is located on the west side of the terrace of Daimiao East Palace Hall, which is the earliest work of Taishan stone carving. Engraved with the inscription of Qin Shihuang's merits and the imperial edict of II, it was sealed by Prime Minister Lisi. The carved stone was originally next to the jade girl pool in Daiding, and later moved here. At this moment, Ishihara is divided into two parts: the first half was carved by Qin Shihuang when he visited Mount Tai in 2 19 BC, with the words *** 144; The second half was engraved in the first year of Qin Ershi Hu Hai's accession to the throne (209 BC), with 78 words. The stone carving is wide and narrow on all sides, with 22 lines of lettering, each line is 12 words and ***222 words. Both inscriptions were written by Li Si. The only word left in Qin Ershi's imperial edict is 10, that is, "Please die when I am ill", also known as "Taishan Cross". After vicissitudes of life, the only remaining cross is: "I went to the sick minister, please ask the minister" is complete, and the word "I am ignorant of death" is incomplete. Qin Taishan stone carvings are listed as national first-class cultural relics and are rare treasures.
Due to the age, wind and rain erosion and man-made destruction, this stone has been moved several times since the Ming Dynasty, and its inscription is only 29 words in the imperial edict of II. Moreover, before the stone tablet was destroyed, epitaphs only paid attention to the description of its words, lines and inscriptions, but lacked accurate records of the original site of the monument and the overall shape of the monument, which led to different opinions from later generations. After the Qing dynasty, some people raised objections to the authenticity of the existing Qin carved 10 residual characters, and there is no conclusion so far.
