This inscription, together with those nearby, was carved in July, 1943 when the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was experiencing an unprecedented hard moment.

This square inscription covers an area of about 10 square meters. The poem penned by the noted local calligrapher Yu Beilu was composed by the famous anti-Japanese general Sun Yuanliang, a native of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, when he toured the Diaoyucheng City in the autumn of 1946. The entire inscription contains a total of 37 characters written in seven vertical lines, of which the four lines in larger characters are the poetic lines, totaling 20 characters, each character 0.45 meters across. Carved in intaglio in huge official script and combined with the unchecked heroic spirit it contains, the poem reads powerful and touching.

The tablet is a huge west-facing stone slab of 5.6 meters high and 5.72 meters long. It was originally erected in memory of Wang Jian, who led the soldiers and civilians in the Diaoyucheng City to win one battle after another in protection of their besieged city during the later period of the resistance. After Wang Li, the last general guarding the city, opened the city gate to surrender to the Yuan army, then a Buddhist story was carved onto the tablet in replace of the words that were offensive to the Yuan imperial government. Because of this relief-carved Buddhist story and the statue of the Goddess of Mercy with a Thousand Arms that was carved on the front, the tablet was popularly called a “Tablet of Goddess of Mercy with a Thousand Arms” in the past.
