Image description:
To the right of the Hall of Three Purities stands a stone tablet, eight feet tall. Labeled the Inscriptionless Stele or No-Word Tablet, this Ming Dynasty remnant is a symbol of resistance. After being first inscribed as a Daoist memorial by Fang Xiaoru, emperor Zhu Di ordered Fang to replace his writing with an imperial edict. Fang refused, leading to his death and that of his family and relatives as well as the "erasure" of his words from the tablet; it still stands blank.
