Introduction to the wordless stele: The wordless stele stands to the east of Sanqing Hall, two feet high and eight feet wide. In the fourth year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Taoism was cleaned up, Xuanmiao Temple was transformed into Zhengyi Jungle, a Taoist Discipline Department was established, and the incense and fire field was used to pay for the army. This was a major event in the history of Taoist temples, and the writer Fang Xiaoru was specially invited to write a note and lay a stone to commemorate it. The iron strokes and silver hooks of Fang's calligraphy are extraordinary, so the Wu'an stele was originally a stele with the inscription "Cleaning Taoism Stele".
