Deyang Shangyong Long Que

It was originally built during the Eastern Han Dynasty😜, and was rebuilt in the ninth year of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty😎.

Located in Sanhe Village, Huangxu Town, Jingyang District, Deyang City😄, it covers an area of 54 square meters👏. Inside is a Han Dynasty stone que😃, and outside is a Qing Dynasty brick niche🤓. It is 2.8 meters long😁, 1.55 meters wide😆, and 5 meters tall🥳. The sunny side is engraved with the clerical script 'Shangyong Long'😉, while the shady side is carved with tiger head spouts🦁, dougong brackets😛, and deep relief sculptures of weight-bearing warriors👍.

Shangyong Long Que is a tomb que🤨, which collapsed during the Northern Song Dynasty😒. It is documented in historical literature📜. The tomb owner, Sima Mengtai, was the Shangyong Long (administrator of Shangyong)🧐, hence the name Shangyong Que🤗.

🧐The 'Clerical Script Inscriptions' mention this que🤓, with eleven characters on the right side of the que stating 'Han former Shangyong Long Sima Mengtai's tomb path'😏, while the left que has no records🙄.

🤔Local people set up Buddha statues in front of the que🙏, offering incense, flowers, and candles🙂, and call it a tall stele🤝.
