A copy of the inscription from the stone tablet depicting a pair of phoenixes amongst peonies, overshadowed by a wutong tree, The original tablet was carved in the late nineteenth century and still survives at Baidi Cheng, an islet in the Yangzi River near Fengjie town in Sichuan, immediately west of narrow Qutang Gorge. The inscription tells how Baidi Cheng, White Emperor City, was founded by the first-century general Gongsun Shu and named after the dragon-like swirls of white mist which gathered about a well there. It also recalls how Bao Chao [跑超], retreated to Baidi Cheng and practised calligraphy. Bao Chao is also identified as the creator of the picture.
The copy of the inscription is on tracing paper and is a copy of the complete inscription but none of the surrounding image.
