For thousands of years, Chinese erected these stelae everywhere.  I don&apos;t know when, but one of the government collected them all into this place in Xi&apos;an.  That makes rubbing operations much more convenient.  People put a piece of cotton paper on top of the stela and rub ink over the paper.  The result is a perfect replica of whatever inscribed.<\/p>\n<p>\nThis one is from a famous and poignant general in the late Song dynasty.  He was framed by the prime minster then and died  tragic.
