These pieces of writings have been inscribed on steles embedded in wooden frames and stored in the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to commemorate forever.
Chiang Kai-shek's father Suan died in Guangxu 17 (1891), when Chiang Kai-shek was only nine years old. On March 31, 1913, Chiang Kai-shek relocated his father's grave to the right peak at Mt. Taokeng north of Wuling. In August 1918, he requested Zhu Zhixin to write an epitaph for father's grave. The inscription reads: "Your aspiration for rectifying the nation bestowed beneficences upon the native land / Your son has inherited the virtue from you and his achievements bring honor to ancestors / Shaded by lush foliage of trees on your grave, you will enjoy renewed fine offerings for tens of thousands of years to come" and Tan Yankai to calligraph it in regular script, which were inscribed in four stone slabs.
