Introduction to the Jin Dynasty's "Continuation of the Taiqing Palace Stele Inscription": It was erected in the second year of Mingchang in the Jin Dynasty, that is, 1191 AD. It is located on the west side of the Shinto in front of the Taiji Hall of Taiqing Palace. It is 2.2 meters high, 1 meter wide, 0.27 meters thick, and round. The first one is the stele of the Jin Xuxiu Taiqing Palace. The head is a stone, with a turtle underneath. The first six seal characters are "Continuing the Taiqing Palace Records". The stele has 28 lines in regular script and a full line of 70 characters. The whole stele contains about 1,600 words, which records the historical rise and fall of Taiqing Palace in detail and has extremely high historical value. Because it has been stored in the open air for more than 800 years, exposed to wind and rain, some of the writing has to be read carefully, and the body of the monument has also cracked. Fortunately, the ancient Luyi County Chronicle records the inscription clearly.
