About this kind of monument
East Asian steles and standing stones
A stele is a stone or wooden slab, generally taller than it is wide, erected as a monument. Its surface often carries text, ornament, or both, inscribed, carved in relief or painted, and steles were made for many reasons: as grave markers, as government notices and boundary markers, and as memorials to battles. In East Asia the inscribed stele was a major medium for recording history and law, and the Atlas records those that have survived as monuments in Korea, China and Taiwan.
The Gwanggaeto Stele in Ji'an, Jilin Province, China, is the best known. It is a memorial for the tomb of Gwanggaeto the Great of Goguryeo, erected in 414 by his son Jangsu, and is the largest engraved stele in the world. It is carved out of a single mass of granite, stands about 6.39 metres tall with a girth of nearly four metres, and has an inscription written exclusively in Classical Chinese. It is one of the major primary sources for the history of Goguryeo. The stele stands near the tomb on the Yalu River, in what was then the capital of the kingdom.
A stele with an inscription that names a reign is among the best-dated monuments in the Atlas. Uninscribed standing stones in Korea, Taiwan and Indonesia, which the Atlas also lists under this heading, cannot be dated closely.
When visiting, look at the inscription if there is one, and at the base that holds the stone.
