Mount Yi Stele
An important Qin Dynasty stone inscription created in 219 BC to commemorate the accomplishments of Qin Shi Huang. Written in small seal script by the prime minister 李斯 lǐ​sī, the original stone on Mount Yi was destroyed, but historical copies survive, most notably the one re-engraved by Zheng Wenbao in 993 AD which is now housed in the Forest of Steles in Xi'an.
