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.
