Tablet of the Great Wind

The Tablet of the Great Wind (Dafeng Bei), measuring 1.7m/5.5ft tall and 1.23m/4ft wide, is displayed in the House of Culture in Peixian - 70km/43.5mi northwest of Xuzhou - the birthplace of Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). A poem composed by the emperor was engraved in the stone some 2200 years ago.

At the same place will be found a second stone tablet, 2.23m/7ft 4in. tall and 1.23m/4ft wide, engraved with the same poem but written in a different order. This latter tablet dates from 1306.
