Han People Stone Pavilion
Situated south of Bishui Bridge, the pavilion contains two freestanding stone statues that are relics from the Han Dynasty. The left statue is 2.5 meters tall, with a tall ceremonial hat and a sword at the waist. Engraved on its midsection are ten seal script characters reading “Former Han Governor of Le’an, Lord *, Pavilion Chief.” The right statue stands 2.2 meters tall, grasping a spear in both hands, with four seal script characters carved on its chest that read “Guard of the Government Gate.” The ancient carvings on these two stone figures are rustic in style and have been highly regarded by generations of epigraphers.
