A Ytian]Dynasty Monument in Ordus,Inner Mongolia
YANG Haiying
There is a stone monument in Ejen Qoru:r-a (one of the seven banners or Yeke Juu league in ordus), where the the Sanctuary of einggis Qayan is located.
According to some sources, this monument was carried there from Dorbed Vang-un Qosiy-n (Ulayan dab league) at the end of the 1930's.
Whereas the inscription on one side is written in Han, clear and legible, the one on the other side is utterly illegible. The inscription indicates that, in 1307,
which was the llth year of Dade during the YUan dynasty, Kongzi received the
title of Da Cheng Zhi Sheng Wen Xuan Wang. In fact, similar monuments were erected at various locations during the dynasty. The one in Ordus is also one of these, representing what they were like in general.
