The Past of "Lai Zihou Carving Stones"
Lion's ancestors pulled out ashes in the cave, and the shadow cast by the fire on the wall was faintly visible. Reading the legend of Fuxi Shennong seems to imagine the hardships of our ancestors' survival. In the ancient stone carving exhibition hall of Zoucheng Museum, I saw a seemingly insignificant stone carving, which was called "a milestone in the transition period from seal to official seal" by Mr. Guo Moruo. It is a famous stone tablet carved by Lai Zihou, a national first-class cultural relic. Lai Zihou's stone carvings are also called Lai Zihou's stone carving of closing fields, Lai Zihou's record of closing tombs, Tianfeng stone carving and Lai Zihou's single family stone carving. Engraved in Xin Mang Tianfeng for three years (16). The stone carving is 60 ~ 5cm long and 46 ~ 5cm wide, and it is a natural rectangular blue-gray water-bearing rock. This stone is engraved with 7 lines, each with 5 words and * * 35 words. "On February 13, Tianfeng was founded, and Lai Zihou was a supporter, making the descendants of Zhu and others invincible with more than 100 people." A cell with a border between rows, with a border and diagonal lines outside. The stone carvings have clear handwriting, exposed nicks and are well preserved.

The Stone Carving of Lai Zihou records that in 567 BC, the state of Lai was destroyed by Qi, and some nobles of Lai were moved to the vicinity of the site of Nilicheng in the southwest of Tengzhou, where they thrived. In A.D. 16, a nobleman in Lai granted land to a clan, sent Chu Zhiliang of a clan as a special envoy, gathered more than 100 people, and held a large-scale land closure ceremony. In order to warn future generations to cherish the land closure, someone was specially invited to write an article on this matter. Since then, there has been a precious "Lai Zihou carved stone". Unfortunately, the monument was silent in the mountains for more than 2,000 years, and no one knew its preciousness until it was discovered by Wang Zhonglei in the 57th year of Qing Qianlong (1792). In the 22nd year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 17), County Yan, his friends Sun, Wang Fu (supplement) and Zhong Xushan visited the Wohu Mountain in the south of Zoucheng, and inscribed the inscription on the right side of the stone tablet: "Jiaqing Ding Chou Qiu, Teng, Yan, Zou Sun Shengrong and Wang Fu (supplement)". When Mr. Sun, the seventieth generation of Mencius, learned about it, he spared no expense to collect it and became one of the ten cultural relics he collected, which has been kept in Mengfu ever since. When Zoucheng Museum opened in 2002, it moved into the Stone Carving Museum. At this point, this rare Han tablet was made public.

The Stone Carving of Seko Hou is the only precious stone carving found so far about the notes of Seko State. The bronze inscriptions related to the history of Laiguo are as follows: 1969. Two bronzes (12 national first-class cultural relics with bronze inscriptions) were unearthed from the site of the old city of Laiguo. On a bronze wine vessel named "Qi 30", experts found a 39-word inscription: "The king was born in the south and the beast was born in the south." On another bronze ware named "Qi Zun", it was also found that "Qi started from Wang Nanzheng, Shanggu and Sheung Shui, and Ding Lubao was graceful at the beginning." The inscription of 2 1 is consistent with the record of "Wang Zhao conquered Jing Chu for sixteen years and conquered the south, never to return" in Zuo Zhuan Xi Gongsi. The inscription "Qi Qi Zun" records Zhou Zhaowang's southern expedition. Qi Neng, the monarch of Laiguo, led the army with King Zhao of Zhou to March south to Chu, cross the valley and pass through Hou Feichuan and other places. Qi faithfully followed King Zhao of Zhou, worked diligently and served the historical events of Zhou Dynasty day and night. It can be seen that the Zhou Dynasty at that time still liked Laiguo very much. It can be seen that the military strength of Laiguo at that time was also very strong, as if feeling the glory of Laiguo in the past. After Qi Qizun was unearthed, two dating standards were added to the bronze wares of King Zhao of Zhou in Shandong Provincial Museum. 1989, Qi Zun was transferred to China National Museum.

As one of the cradles of China's ancient civilization, Laiguo is an important part of China's 5,000-year history of civilization and has made outstanding contributions to the long history and splendid culture of our Chinese nation. Lai Zihou's stone carvings are of great archaeological value to textual research on the splendid Lai Yi culture and the history of Lai Guo.
