Meng-Xiao-Ju Stele, Protected national monument in Zhaotong, China
The Meng-Xiao-Ju Stele is a limestone monument in Zhaotong with detailed inscriptions recording religious and social life. The stone preserves written records that document the beliefs and practices of communities that lived in this region long ago.
The stele originated during a period when new religious communities were spreading and establishing themselves in China. This era marks an important exchange of ideas and beliefs across different regions of the empire.
The inscriptions reveal how different religious communities coexisted and interacted within ancient Chinese society. They show in concrete terms the everyday reality of religious diversity in daily life and local traditions.
The stele is located at an accessible site with information panels explaining the inscriptions and their context. Take time to examine the carved text on the stone and read the explanatory materials provided to understand what the writings tell us.
The stone contains carved symbols and writing systems that still raise questions about cross-cultural contact and exchange. Scholars continue to study these details to understand how different traditions influenced and shaped each other over time.
