survey

In the past, Shuibei street was under the jurisdiction of Deqing County and hang county respectively. Taking this stele as the boundary, the east of the stele was hang County, and the west of the stele was Deqing County. In addition, the monument was built into the wall by the residents, only the top part was exposed, and the whole picture could not be seen. Therefore, for a long time, people have always regarded this monument as the boundary monument between the two counties.

Cultural relics protection

In 1985, the Tangqi District Cultural Station conducted a general survey of cultural relics. It felt that this monument was not like a boundary monument only from the forehead. Several times, it climbed up to observe and recognized the word "Qinzhi". At that time, it drafted a text to reflect to the county and town. At that time, Tangqi town annals had just begun to be compiled. The compilation Department of town annals immediately investigated the stele on the spot and expanded the characters on the stele one by one. After several months, it was finally verified that this monument was actually a royal monument. In 1751, Emperor Hongli visited the south to investigate the payment of imperial grain in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces. It is found that there are huge arrears in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, but Zhejiang Province has not. In recognition of Zhejiang Province, the emperor, with a stroke of his pen, exempted 300000 liang of grain and money from the local people. And the "oracle" carved stone, told the officials and the people.

In April 2002, the people's Government of Tangqi town invested more than 200000 yuan to demolish the houses beside the imperial Monument and move the residents living there, making the long dusty imperial monument of Qianlong visible again.

inscription on a tablet

Imperial edict: I visit Jiangsu and Zhejiang, ask the provincial Party, Guangpei engao, Yuzhao celebration. Even though he had accumulated money and grain over the years, he was often asked by local officials to take them separately to relieve the people's strength. But every year, the old and the new were collected together, and the small people were in financial difficulties. I'm hardworking, like I'm hurt. I'd like to invite Cuihua to visit us. I'd like to use pujun to comfort you. From the first year of Emperor Qianlong to the 13th year of Emperor Qianlong, Jiangsu owed more than 2.28 million Liang, and Anhui owed more than 35000 Han. He learned that the exemption was implemented, so that the officials could not make mistakes, and the people could pursue and share the happiness of peace. My husband was a tribute to the native land. He was a regular official in the Qing Dynasty. Jiangsu owes as much as 2.2 million yuan, and some officials can't blame it for the ineffective enforcement of laws and regulations. However, if we are tired of playing and become accustomed to it, we can't change the folk customs completely. Since I was on my first tour to the south, tegarn was very special. Later, the local officials should earnestly advise and rectify it. In the small people, we should also drown out the old habits and encourage the losers,. It is hoped that Zhejiang Province, though a little smaller than Jiangsu Province, has not accumulated any debt over the years. This shows that the officials and people of Xi Province respect justice, and the palace and people of Jiangsu should follow suit with shame! I'm very grateful to you. I'm going to give you 300000 taels of money and grain for this year's recruitment as a sign of encouragement.
