The ancient steles of the Ink Marvel Pavilion were destroyed when the Yuan troops took control. It was not until the end of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty that a local resident, Lu Xingyuan (a renowned bibliophile at home and abroad and owner of the famous "? Song Tower"), collected the remaining steles left in the area and reassembled them. In the 17th year of the Republic of China, Yu Zonglian, a local gentry, rebuilt the Ink Marvel Pavilion within Wuxing Park. In 1968, it was demolished during the Cultural Revolution, and many stone inscriptions were destroyed, including the famous bamboo stele of Feng Kebin. In 1996, it was rebuilt on the eastern side of Feiying Park, inlaying 12 stone carvings from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, as well as a newly engraved copy of Su Shi’s “Record of the Ink Marvel Pavilion” and a poetic stele by Zeng Gong titled “Ink Marvel Pavilion.” The pavilion features a “curved water and floating cups” feature that complements the pavilion.
